METHODS TO SUPPORT LTE OTDOA FOR NR DEVICES

Abstract:

A method in a wireless device served by a New Radio (NR) network node, in a NR cell, is provided. The method comprises: sending, to a network node, a positioning request for performing measurements based on Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA); in response to the request, receiving OTDOA assistance information based on timing information of the NR cell; and performing OTDOA measurements on reference signals based on the received OTDOA assistance information.
