Abstract: A method, network node and wireless device for position reference signal (PRS) design by extending a base signal are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method in a wireless device (WD) includes obtaining extended reference signal, RS, configurations from the network node. The method also includes determining a waveform associated with the extended RS. The method also includes detecting a RS and estimate an associated time of arrival. The method further includes sending a measurement report to the network node based on the estimated time of arrival.

Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning in a cellular communications system are disclosed. A method performed by a first base station (BS) includes receiving a signal transmitted by a second BS and estimating a Time of Arrival (TOA) of the received signal at the first BS according to a clock of the first BS. The method further includes determining a delta value that is or is a function of a time between the TOA of the received signal at the first BS according to the clock and a time reference at the first BS and either (a) providing the delta value to a positioning estimation entity within the communications system or (b) using the delta value at the first BS to reduce a time synchronization error between the first BS and the second BS, or (c) passing the delta value to a User Equipment.
