    摘要: Systems and methods for positioning in a cellular communications system are disclosed. A method performed by a first base station (BS) includes receiving a signal transmitted by a second BS and estimating a Time of Arrival (TOA) of the received signal at the first BS according to a clock of the first BS. The method further includes determining a delta value that is or is a function of a time between the TOA of the received signal at the first BS according to the clock and a time reference at the first BS and either (a) providing the delta value to a positioning estimation entity within the communications system or (b) using the delta value at the first BS to reduce a time synchronization error between the first BS and the second BS, or (c) passing the delta value to a User Equipment.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for scatterer localization and material identification. The method performed by an identification apparatus may comprise: determining (S101) a reflection loss of a power of a wireless signal caused by a reflection at an object, for the purpose of identifying a material of the object and localizing a position of the object. The method performed by a reception apparatus may comprise: receiving (S201) a wireless signal transmitted from a transmission apparatus and reflected by an object; and transmitting (S202), to an identification apparatus, information about the wireless signal. The method performed by a transmission apparatus may comprise: receiving (S301) an indication for identifying a material of an object; and transmitting (S302) a wireless signal reflected by the object to a reception apparatus.
