Abstract: A central node receives, from each of a plurality of access points providing access for user equipments to a communication network, a result of a measurement related to a position of a user equipment, receives additional information comprising at least one of an evaluation of the result of the measurement and a reference towards which the measurement was done, and calculates the position of the user equipment by combining the results of the measurements received from the plurality of access points using at least one of the evaluation and the reference.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to User Equipment positioning. Certain examples provide an apparatus (10), for example such as a RAN node (120) or a Location server (140), configured to: determine Position Reference Signal, PRS, configuration information (605, 705) comprising information for enabling a network element, for example such as a UE (110) or a RAN node (120), of a RAN (100) to: send a PRS (200), wherein the PRS comprises: a first portion (201) of the PRS configured to be sent in a first time interval (T1) over a first frequency range (fr1); a second portion (202) of the PRS configured to be sent in a second time interval (T2), different to the first time interval, over a second frequency range (fr2), wherein the second frequency range partially overlaps the first frequency range thereby defining an overlapping frequency range (ofr); and wherein a subrange of frequencies (ufr) of the second frequency range is not used to send the second portion of the PRS; and send, the PRS configuration information to the network element of the RAN.

Abstract: UE positioning is added by use of a reconfigurable reflecting surface (e.g., IRS). The IRS is configured to adjust elements of the surface. The configuration may include signal switching on or off, signal phase, group delay, or signal amplitude. Positioning reference signal transmissions are performed that have line of sight to the UE and that reflect off the IRS. The UE takes measurements for the transmissions and can determine measurement(s) of angle of arrival or time of arrival or reference signal received power, and/or determine a channel estimation. Multiple methods are proposed to provide UE positioning.
