Claim 13:
14. An apparatus, comprising: at least a processor, and a memory, communicatively associated with the processor with computer coded instructions stored therein, said instructions when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to: receive a first configuration of a first set of resources for positioning reference signal mapping with resource elements; receive a second configuration of a second set of resources, wherein the second set of resources are a scalable extension of the first set of resources for positioning reference signal mapping with additional resource elements; and detect positioning reference signals according to at least one of the first configuration of the first set of resources or the second configuration of the second set of resources; and measure, at a user equipment, positioning accuracy using the first configuration of the first set of resources, and second configuration of the second set of resources; and provide a reliable cell for observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) positioning algorithms, by performing both serving cell time of arrival (TOA) estimation and non-serving cell TOA estimation using the second set of resources.
