User equipment positioning estimation in wireless networks with base stations supporting multibeam operation

摘要

The method of operating the base station comprises determining a schedule associated with transmission by the base station of a positioning reference signal (PRS) in a plurality of directional beams-the plurality of directional beams have directions corresponding to at least some of the plurality of configurable beam directions. And the schedule is based on coordination of PRS transmission by the base station and PRS transmission in directional beams from at least one other base station; And transmitting the PRS in each of the plurality of directional beams based on the determined schedule.
