  • Coordinating transmission of positioning reference signals and non-reference signals
    Patent number: 9755799
    Abstract: A base station coordinates transmission of positioning reference signals and non-reference signals. The base station includes a transceiver to detect a reference signal transmitted by one or more other base stations in one or more physical resource blocks. The base station also includes a processor to identify a pattern of resources allocated to the one or more other base stations based on the one or more physical resource blocks including the reference signal. The transceiver is to bypass transmission of non-reference signals in physical resource blocks indicated by the pattern.
