Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a target device (10), for handling positioning of the target device. The target device determines one or more displacements of the target device (10) in relation to a reference position based on measurements performed by at least one location source. The target device (10) sends, to a network node (20), a report comprising the determined one or more displacements of the target device (10), and a reference time to which the reference position is associated. Embodiments herein further relate to a method performed by a network node (20), for handling positioning of the target device (10). The network node obtains, from the target device (10), a report comprising the determined one or more displacements of the target device (10) in relation to a reference position, wherein the one or more displacements have been determined based on measurements performed by at least one location source, and a reference time to which the reference position is associated. The network node (20) determines an absolute position of the target device (10) based on the obtained one or more displacements and the reference position associated to the reference ti…
