Positioning methods for wireless networks that utilize beamformed communication

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving one or more positioning reference signals on one or more beams;
• and
• means for reporting one or more reference signal timing difference (RSTD) measurements corresponding to the one or more positioning reference signals, wherein a step size of the one or more RSTD measurements is configured according to a frequency band of the one or more positioning reference signals, wherein the step size is represented as k×Ts, where k is a constant and Ts is a basic time unit, and wherein k is configurable at least based on the frequency band of the one or more positioning reference signals.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:

• receive one or more positioning reference signals on one or more beams;
• and
• report one or more reference signal timing difference (RSTD) measurements corresponding to the one or more positioning reference signals, wherein a step size of the one or more RSTD measurements is configured according to a frequency band of the one or more positioning reference signals, wherein the step size is represented as k×Ts, where k is a constant and Ts is a basic time unit, and wherein k is configurable at least based on the frequency band of the one or more positioning reference signals.
