Abstract
Improved techniques of reducing latency in UL positioning include generating a priority indication by the LMF for all UE requiring UL positioning. For example, an LMF can generate a priority list identifying UEs within a network that may be considered by a serving network node (gNB) for positioning prioritization. In some implementations, the serving gNB indicates that prioritizing all of the identified UEs would require more network resources than are available. In such a case, the LMF obtains latency measurement values for TRPs in the network. Based on the latency measurement values obtained, the LMF performs a configuration operation on at least one of the TRPs to reduce the UL positioning latency to an acceptable value.
