1. A method of positioning performed by a location server, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment, a reference signal configuration for at least a first transmission-reception point (TRP), the reference signal configuration including at least a reference signal periodicity defining repetitions of one or more downlink reference signal resources usable for positioning associated with the first TRP; and
receiving, from the UE, one or more positioning measurements of at least the one or more downlink reference signal resources obtained by the UE during one or more repetitions of a measurement period, the one or more repetitions of the measurement period having an effective measurement periodicity, the effective measurement periodicity based on an alignment periodicity and a time period T during which the UE can process a duration N of reference signal symbols, the alignment periodicity based on the reference signal periodicity and a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) defining repetitions of a measurement gap.
