Claim 14:
15. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor in communication with the memory and configured to:
receive, from a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE), a capability message that indicates position capabilities of the NB-IoT UE;
transmit, to the NB-IoT UE, assistance data to perform positioning measurements, the assistance data specific to a particular positioning method indicated by the apparatus, the assistance data transmitted prior to transmission of a request for location information message;
transmit, to the NB-IoT UE, the request for location information message comprising a request for positioning measurements and a NB response time to provide the positioning measurements, wherein the NB response time supports idle mode positioning measurements by the NB-IoT UE; and
receive, from the NB-IoT UE, at least one message containing the positioning measurements in accordance with the NB response time.
