Claim 13:
14. A base station comprising:
an antenna;
a processor configured to:
determine a narrow-band (NB) positioning reference signal (PRS) bitmap indicating a pattern associated with NB PRS time resources, wherein at least one of the NB PRS time resources comprises an NB PRS for positioning a wireless user device; and
determine, from first radio frames of a cell and based on a plurality of repetitions of the NB PRS bitmap, first NB PRS time resources of the cell, wherein an NB PRS muting indicator indicates that the first radio frames of the cell are not muted; and

a transceiver to:
transmit, via the antenna, NB PRS configuration information comprising the NB PRS bitmap and the NB PRS muting indicator;
transmit a first NB PRS via at least one of the first NB PRS time resources of the cell; and
receive, from the wireless user device after transmitting the first NB PRS, a reference signal time difference (RSTD).
