Abstract
A method is disclosed performed by an initiating communication node (110), for facilitating positioning determination in a Wi-Fi communication network (100). The method comprises sending, to a responding communication node (120), a request to start a position-related determination procedure and information of a first plurality of frequency bands over which the initiating communication node (110) is able to communicate. The method further comprises receiving, from the responding communication node (120), second information related to a second number of frequency bands over which the responding communication node (120) is able to communicate, and triggering start of the position-related determination procedure based on the received second information so that the position-related determination procedure is performed over at least one of a third number of frequency bands that occurs in both the first plurality of frequency bands and the second number of frequency bands.
