1. A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform measurements, the method comprising:
- receiving, via radio resource control (RRC) messaging, from a network, configuration information including activation criteria and location request criteria, wherein the activation criteria identifies conditions for the UE to perform logging of signal strength measurements for network transmission, and the location request criteria identifies conditions for the UE to perform positioning measurements, the configuration information further including deactivation criteria and log discarding criteria, wherein the deactivation criteria identifies conditions for the UE to stop measuring signal strength for the network transmission, and the log discarding criteria identifies conditions for the UE to discard logged measurements;
in response to detecting the activation criteria and the location request criteria;
determining logging of signal strength for the network transmission and corresponding positioning measurements of the UE; and
logging periodically the signal-strength measurements with the positioning measurements.
