Claim 16:
17. A method of indicating resources for uplink-based positioning, the method comprising:
determining whether a UE (user equipment) is within a downlink coverage area of a serving cell, for a first frequency band and a transmit power of the serving cell, and outside an uplink coverage area of the serving cell for the first frequency band and a transmit power of the UE;
identifying a second frequency band supported by the UE, the second frequency band comprising frequencies below a lowest frequency of the first frequency band; and
providing at least one PRS indication indicating at least OFDM UL-PRS resources (orthogonal frequency division multiplexed uplink positioning reference signal resources) in the second frequency band for the UE based on a determination that the UE is outside the uplink coverage area of the serving cell for the first frequency band and the transmit power of the UE.
