Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of positioning a target node (102-4) in a side-link communication system in a wireless communication network (100). The method comprises establishing, by a first node (102-6), a communication link with a second node (102-1 to 102-3) and a third node (102-4). The first node (102-6) measures a relative Angle of Arrival (AoA) and a relative Angle of Departure (AoD) of the third node (102-4) with respect to the second node. The target node is one of the first node, the second node and the third node. The first node (102-6) estimates a position of the third node (102-4) based on at least one of the relative AoA and the relative AoD.

Abstract: A method of positioning a target node (204-5) in a side-link communication system in a wireless communication network (200) is described. The method comprises establishing a communication link with the target node (204-5), and a second node (204-3), for positioning the target node (204-5). The first node (204-1) transmits a capability request message to the target node (204-5) and the second node (204-3) and receives a feedback message comprising a capability reply message and an acceptance message. The first node (204-1) configures the second node (204-3) for transmitting and receiving a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) to or from the target node (204-5), based on the feedback message. The PRS is utilized for determining position measurement of the target node (204-5). The first node (204-1) receives data related to the position measurement and estimated position of the target node (204-5), from the target node (204-5) and the second node (204-3).
