Original Abstract Submitted

To position a terminal device, at least one transmission-reception point, or corresponding apparatus, the terminal device and a network entity exchange information. A transmission-reception point receives from the network entity a first signal comprising at least one parameter setting for positioning reference signal transmissions. The terminal device receives from the network entity a second signal comprising at least the parameter setting. The network entity receives from the transmission-reception point a first report indicating at least an occurrence time of a successful transmission of a positioning reference signal and from the terminal device a measurement report comprising information on at least the positioning reference signal. The network entity determines a position of the terminal device based on at least the first report and the measurement report.
