Abstract
Disclosed is a method comprising receiving, from one or more network nodes, one or more first messages indicative of being able to provide a positioning service; selecting, based at least partly on the one or more first messages, a network node from the one or more network nodes; and transmitting, to the selected network node, a second message indicating to activate the positioning service.
Claims20
A target user equipment (UE) comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the target UE to:
- transmit, to plural UEs, a positioning request message indicating a request for positioning assistance;
- receive, from one or more of the plural UEs, one or more first messages indicative of being able to provide a positioning service in response to the positioning request message;
- select, based at least partly on the one or more first messages, a UE from the one or more UEs;
- transmit, to the selected UE, a second message indicating to activate the positioning service;
- and
- receive one or more positioning reference signals from the selected UE, which has activated the positioning service in response to transmitting the second message.

A method comprising:
- transmitting, to plural UEs, a positioning request message indicating a request for positioning assistance;
- receiving, by a target user equipment (UE) from one or more of the plural UEs, one or more first messages indicative of being able to provide a positioning service in response to the positioning request message;
- selecting, by the target UE based at least partly on the one or more first messages, a UE from the one or more UEs;
- transmitting, by the target UE to the selected UE, a second message indicating to activate the positioning service;
- and
- receiving one or more positioning reference signals from the selected UE, which has activated the positioning service in response to the second message.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a target user equipment (UE) to perform at least the following:
- transmitting, to plural UEs, a positioning request message indicating a request for positioning assistance;
- receiving, from one or more of the plural UEs, one or more first messages indicative of being able to provide a positioning service in response to the positioning request message:
- selecting, based at least partly on the one or more first messages, a UE from the one or more UEs:
- transmitting, to the selected UE, a second message indicating to activate the positioning service;
- and
- receiving one or more positioning reference signals from the selected UE, which has activated the positioning service in response to the second message.
