Radio network node, location node, wireless device and methods performed therein for reporting measured positioning information

A method performed by a location node for handling positioning of a wireless device in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:

• initiating a negotiation of a positioning configuration with one or more radio network nodes, wherein the positioning configuration comprises at least one of a start information and a stop information, the start information indicating when positioning reference signal, PRS, transmissions from a radio network node are enabled, the stop information indicating when PRS transmissions form the radio network node are disabled;
• and
• transmitting, once the positioning configuration has been agreed with the one or more radio network nodes, assistance data to the wireless device, wherein the assistance data comprises the negotiated positioning configuration comprising at least one of the start information and the stop information.

A location node for handling positioning of a wireless device in a wireless communications network, wherein the location node is configured to:

• initiate a negotiation of a positioning configuration with one or more radio network nodes, wherein the positioning configuration comprises at least one of a start information and a stop information, the start information indicating when positioning reference signal, PRS, transmissions from a radio network node are enabled, the stop information indicating when PRS transmissions from the radio network node are disabled;
• and to
• transmit, once the positioning configuration has been agreed with the one or more radio network nodes, assistance data to the wireless device, wherein the assistance data comprises the negotiated positioning configuration comprising the at least one of the start and stop information.

A radio network node for handling positioning of a wireless device in a wireless communications network, wherein the radio network node is configured to:

• negotiate with at least one of a location node and another radio network node, a positioning configuration, wherein the positioning configuration comprises at least one of a start information and a stop information, the start information indicating when positioning reference signal, PRS, transmissions from the radio network node are enabled, the stop information indicating when PRS transmissions from the radio network are disabled;
• transmit positioning reference signals in accordance with the negotiated positioning configuration;
• and wherein the negotiation is initiated by the location node.
