A method and network node for uplink coordinated multipoint positioning are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes employing a coordinated multipoint function to decode data from a WD using signals received from the WD by the network node and from signals received from the WD by a plurality of cooperating network nodes. The method further includes converting the decoded WD data signal into a time domain reference signal and convert the signals received from the plurality of cooperating network nodes into time domain neighbour signals. The method also includes cross-correlating the time domain reference signal with the time domain neighbour signals to determine a time difference of arrival for each of the plurality of time domain neighbour signals. The method also includes calculating a position of the WD based on the time differences of arrival and based on locations of the cooperating network nodes.
