Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for positioning a radio signal receiver at a first location within a three dimensional space; positioning a transmitter at a second location within the three dimensional space; transmitting a transmission signal from the transmitter to the radio signal receiver; processing, using a machine-learning network, one or more parameters of the transmission signal received at the radio signal receiver; in response to the processing, obtaining, from the machine-learning network, a prediction corresponding to a direction of arrival of the transmission signal transmitted by the transmitter; computing an error term by comparing the prediction to a set of ground truths; and updating the machine-learning network based on the error term.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a UE. The instructions configure the UE for low latency NR positioning in a 5G NR network and cause the UE to perform operations comprising decoding configuration signaling received from a base station. The configuration signaling includes measurement gap information and scheduling information for a UE measurement report. A downlink (DL) positioning reference signal (PRS) received from the base station is decoded. Positioning measurements are performed using the DL PRS. The positioning measurements are performed based on a measurement gap corresponding to the measurement gap information. The UE measurement report is encoded for a UL transmission to the base station based on the scheduling information. The UE measurement report includes the positioning measurements.
