27. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to a network entity, one or more capabilities for a transmission of one or more positioning sounding reference signals (SRS) outside of an initial uplink (UL) bandwidth part (BWP) during an idle state or an inactive state of the UE, wherein the one or more capabilities comprises at least one of:
whether the UE supports the one or more positioning SRS outside of the initial UL BWP that can have a bandwidth which does not include a synchronization signal block (SSB) or control resource set 0 (CORESET 0),
whether the UE supports different center frequency between the one or more positioning SRS outside of the initial UL BWP and the initial UL BWP,
or any combination thereof;
receiving, from the network entity a configuration, based at least in part on the one or more capabilities, for the transmission of the one or more positioning SRS outside of the initial UL BWP during the idle state or the inactive state, wherein the configuration includes a set of constraints on the transmission of the one or more positioning SRS, and wherein the set of constraints includes a first constraint that a BWP associated with the one or more positioning SRS or the configuration of the one or more positioning SRS is associated with at least one of a location and bandwidth parameter, a subcarrier spacing (SCS), or a cyclic prefix (CP) based on the initial UL BWP; and
transmitting, to the network entity based on the configuration, the one or more positioning SRS outside of the initial UL BWP, wherein the one or more positioning SRS is configured to be transmitted during the idle state or the inactive state.
