1. A a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, comprising:
one or more memories;
one or more transceivers; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
receive, via the one or more transceivers, a configuration of a plurality of first positioning reference signal (PRS) resources;
receive, via the one or more transceivers, a configuration of a plurality of second PRS resources;
select one or more pairs of PRS resources based on one or more DRX pruning rules, one or more bundling conditions, or both, wherein each pair of PRS resources comprises a first PRS resource of the plurality of first PRS resources and a second PRS resource of the plurality of second PRS resources; and
receive, via the one or more transceivers, the first PRS resource and transmit, via the one or more transceivers, the second PRS resource of each pair of PRS resources, or transmit, via the one or more transceivers, the first PRS resource and receive, via the one or more transceivers, the second PRS resource of each pair of PRS resources, during one or more DRX cycles of the DRX mode.
