Abstract
A method in a network node and a network node with positioning functionality in a wireless communications network in a multi-carrier system are described. The network node enables positioning measurements for a wireless device in the multi-carrier system based on at least one capability indicator that identifies on which carrier frequencies positioning measurements in the multi-carrier system can be performed.
Claims24
A method in a network node with positioning functionality in a wireless communications network in a multi-carrier system with carrier aggregation, each aggregated carrier corresponding to a component carrier, to enable positioning measurements for a wireless device in the multi-carrier system, the method comprising the steps:
- obtaining a multi-carrier capability of a radio node capable of performing positioning measurements,
- receiving at least one capability indicator that identifies on which carrier frequencies positioning measurements can be done;
- and
- selecting at least one of the multiple carrier frequencies for positioning measurements on radio signals transmitted by the wireless device based on said at least one capability indicator.
A network node with positioning functionality in a wireless communications network in a multi-carrier system to enable positioning measurements for a wireless device in the multi-carrier system, the network node comprising:
- communications circuitry configured to receive at least one capability indicator that identifies on which carrier frequencies positioning measurements in the multi-carrier system can be performed;
- and
- one or more data processors configured to obtain a multi-carrier capability of a radio node to perform positioning measurements and to select at least one of the multiple carrier frequencies for positioning measurements on radio signals transmitted by the wireless device based on said at least one capability indicator.
