1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
receive configuration information to configure downlink-positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) resources;
receive a control signal that includes an indication of the DL-PRS resources, wherein the control signal is at a media access control (MAC) layer or a layer below the MAC layer; and
perform a positioning operation with respect to the DL-PRS resources based on the control signal.
