1. A method of wireless positioning performed by a location server, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a dilution of precision (DOP) threshold, a number of sets of transmission-reception points (TRPs) K, and a number of TRPs M to enable the UE to identify one or more sets of TRPs from a plurality of K sets of M TRPs, wherein the plurality of K sets of M TRPs is selected from all TRPs from which the UE can measure positioning reference signals (PRS) until a highest priority set of M TRPs that satisfies the DOP threshold is identified; and
receiving, from the UE, one or more positioning measurements of PRS transmitted by at least one set of TRPs of the one or more sets of TRPs, or location information derived from the one or more positioning measurements, wherein at least the at least one set of TRPs of the one or more sets of TRPs satisfies the DOP threshold, and wherein the at least one set of TRPs is the highest priority set of M TRPs.
