Patent ID: 10511426

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing positioning reference signal are disclosed. A method may include receiving, by a narrow-band (NB) user equipment (UE), positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration information, determining, by the NB UE, narrowband PRS (NB PRS) configuration information for the NB UE, the NB PRS configuration information comprising information of an NB PRS reference cell that generates an NB PRS for the NB UE, determining, by the NB UE, PRS configuration information for a UE, the UE being assigned to use a frequency band unavailable for the NB UE, and the PRS configuration information comprising information of a PRS reference cell that generates a PRS for the UE, generating, based on the NB PRS configuration information and the PRS configuration information, a reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement, and transmitting, by the NB UE, the RSTD measurement.
