INTERACTION OF POSITIONING AND MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL PROCEDURES

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine its position based on one or more position reference signals (PRSs), which the UE receives via different component carriers (CCs). The UE may maintain an active state with a first CC transmitting a PRS, while activating and deactivating a secondary CC that may transmit PRSs based on a periodic interval. Additionally, the UE may apply similar techniques for inactive BWPs where a PRS spans multiple BWPs. In some implementations, the position of the UE may enhance a UE mobility procedure based on determining a resource to use for the UE mobility procedure that is dependent upon the position of the UE. For example, the UE mobility procedure may include a random access procedure or a handover procedure. Additionally, the resources used for the mobility procedures may be quasi co-located with PRSs.
