Patent ID: 10727970

Abstract:
A method and a user equipment (110) as well as a method and a radio transmitter (120) for managing positioning reference signals are disclosed. Moreover, a method and a network node (130) for configuring positioning reference signals are disclosed. The network node (130) sends (A050), to the user equipment (110), a reception configuration of positioning reference signals, wherein the reception configuration comprises a cell identity relating to the radio transmitter (120) and an identifier for determining of positioning reference signals. The network node (130) sends (A070), to the radio transmitter (120), a transmit configuration of positioning reference signals, wherein the transmit configuration comprises the cell identity and the identifier. The radio transmitter (120) determines (A090) the positioning reference signals based on the cell identity and the identifier. The radio transmitter (120) sends (A100) the positioning reference signals to the user equipment (110). The user equipment (110) estimates (A120), based on the positioning reference signals, signal characteristics relating to a position of the user equipment (110). The user equipment (110) sends (A130), to the network node (130), a report about the estimated signal characteristics. Corresponding computer programs and carriers therefor are also disclosed.
