RE-ALLOCATION OF POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL RESOURCES TO ACCOMMODATE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION

摘要

In an embodiment, a cell punctures resource(s) allocated to transmission of UL or DL PRS(s). The cell communicates (e.g., receives or transmits) UL or DL higher-priority signal(s) on the punctured resource(s), and communicates the UL or DL PRS(s) on the non-punctured resource(s). In another embodiment, a second cell neighboring a first cell schedules and transmits the UL or DL higher-priority signal(s) on part of the first cells PRS resource(s). In another embodiment, the first cell receives an indication of the UL or DL higher-priority signal(s) scheduled for transmission by the second cell, and punctures its PRS resource(s) to reduce interference on the second cells UL or DL higher-priority signal(s). In a further embodiment, a UE receives an indication of puncturing and selectively modifies its PRS processing on the punctured resource(s).
