1. An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled with the memory, the processor configured to:
receive, via a first signaling, an indication of a positioning reference signal configuration for one or more transmission reception points, the positioning reference signal configuration associated with a positioning reference signal and indicating a reference point within a carrier bandwidth of a component carrier and a bandwidth or a number of resource blocks of a positioning reference signal resource;
determine, based at least in part on the positioning reference signal configuration, a start of the positioning reference signal resource that is offset by a gap in frequency relative to the reference point;
receive, via a second signaling that is different from the first signaling, a measurement indicator that configures the UE to measure the positioning reference signal over the bandwidth or the number of resource blocks of the positioning reference signal resource that is at least partially outside an active bandwidth part; and
measure the positioning reference signal on the positioning reference signal resource that is at least partially outside the active bandwidth part based at least in part on a measurement gap indicated to the UE and the measurement indicator.
