Abstract
Embodiments include methods performed by a user equipment (UE) of associating positioning signals with beams transmitted in a wireless network that includes a location server and a base station. Such methods include receiving assistance data from the location server. The assistance data includes a configuration of positioning signals to be transmitted by the wireless network and information identifying at least one relationship between the following: one or more positioning beams that carry the positioning signals, and one or more radio resource management (RRM) beams that carry RRM signals. Such methods include receiving, from the base station, the positioning signals via the one or more positioning beams based on the at least one relationship between the positioning beam(s) and the RRM beam(s). Other embodiments include complementary methods for base stations and location servers, as well as UEs, base stations, and location servers configured to perform such methods.
