PASSIVE POSITIONING METHODS IN NEW RADIO

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for passive positioning of user equipment (UE). An example method for passive positioning of a user equipment includes receiving a first positioning reference signal from a first station at a first time, receiving a second positioning reference signal from a second station at a second time, receiving a turnaround time value associated with the first positioning reference signal and the second positioning reference signal, and a distance value based on a location of the first station and a location of the second station, and determining a time difference of arrival based at least in part on the turnaround time value, the distance value, the first time, and the second time.
