1. A method for supporting positioning of a user equipment (UE) performed by the UE, comprising:
receiving assistance data for positioning reference signals from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs);
receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs;
receiving a positioning reference signal preemption indication (PRS PI) indicating that one or more positioning reference signals associated with one or more TRPs have been preempted; and
performing positioning measurements using received positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs based at least on the PRS PI indication, wherein performing the positioning measurements comprises excluding the preempted positioning reference signals from the positioning measurements.
