Abstract
A method (700, 800), system (3210) and apparatus (900, 1000) are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method (700) for determining positioning is performed by a wireless device (1000). The method (700) comprising: receiving (720) a reference signal and performing a positioning measurement based on the received reference signal; receiving (730) positioning information based on the received reference signal, wherein the received positioning information comprises a positioning measurement reported by a neighbouring wireless device performed on the reference signal; and determining (740) further positioning information based on the positioning measurement and the received positioning information.
Claims19
A method for determining positioning performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving a reference signal and performing a positioning measurement based on the received reference signal;
- receiving first positioning information based on the reference signal, wherein the received first positioning information comprises a positioning measurement reported by a neighboring wireless device performed on the reference signal, wherein the reported positioning measurement is reported by the neighboring wireless device to a network node and the receiving of the first positioning information comprises overhearing the positioning measurement report;
- determining further positioning information based on the positioning measurement and the received first positioning information.
A method performed by a network node, the method comprising:
- receiving positioning information from a wireless device, the positioning information comprising overhearing positioning information wherein the overhearing positioning information is based on overheard positioning exchanges detected by the wireless device from one or more neighboring wireless devices.
A wireless device comprising processing circuitry, memory and transceiver circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to:
- receive, via the transceiver circuitry, a reference signal and perform a positioning measurement based on the received reference signal;
- receive, via the transceiver circuitry, positioning information based on the reference signal wherein the received positioning information comprises a positioning measurement reported by a neighboring wireless device performed on the reference signal, wherein the reported positioning measurement is reported by the neighboring wireless device to a network node and the receiving of the positioning information comprises overhearing the positioning measurement report;
- and
- determine further positioning information based on the positioning measurement and the received positioning information.
A network node comprising processing circuitry, memory, and transceiver circuitry, the processor circuitry configured to:
- receive, via the transceiver circuitry, positioning information from a wireless device, the positioning information comprising overhearing positioning information based on overheard positioning exchanges detected by the wireless device from one or more neighboring wireless devices.
A system for determining positioning information, the system comprising one or more network nodes and a plurality of wireless devices, wherein one or more of the plurality of wireless devices receives a reference signal and performs a positioning measurement based on the received reference signal and receives positioning information based on the received reference signal, wherein the received positioning information comprises a positioning measurement reported by a neighboring wireless device performed on the reference signal, wherein the reported positioning measurement is reported by the neighboring wireless device to a network node and the receiving of the positioning information comprises overhearing the positioning measurement report;
- the one or more wireless device determines further positioning information based on the positioning measurement and the received positioning information and transmits the determined further positioning information to one or more of the plurality of wireless devices and/or to the one or more network nodes;
- and
- the one or more network nodes and/or wireless devices determining enhanced positioning accuracy of predetermined positioning estimates based on the received further positioning information.
