Abstract

A method of user equipment (UE) positioning includes receiving positioning assistance data associated with a transmission reception point (TRP), such as an expected reference signal time difference (RSTD) between a reference cell and the TRP. The method also includes capturing, based at least on the expected RSTD, a first portion of a reference signal from the TRP, where the first portion of the reference signal does not overlap in time with a non-reference signal from the reference cell at the UE. The method also includes determining a first time of arrival (TOA) of the reference signal from the TRP based on the first portion of the reference signal.
