1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
performing at least one positioning measurement of at least one downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) received from a transmission-reception point (TRP) during a positioning session;
reporting, to a positioning entity, a value of the at least one positioning measurement via low layer signaling; and
determining a timestamp for the at least one positioning measurement relative to a reference point, wherein the timestamp comprises an amount of time relative to the reference point that the at least one positioning measurement is valid, and wherein the timestamp comprises enough bits to specify a time of the at least one positioning measurement within a subset of slots within a given period of time during which DL-PRS are scheduled.
