Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a network device, in particular a User Equipment (UE) or a base station (BS), of a group of network devices involved in a cooperative passive positioning (CPP) operation comprising at least two network devices for detecting and positioning at least one target object. One example network device is configured to apply an operation mode from one or more of: initiating network device for initiating a CPP measurement, transmitting network device for transmitting a radio signal to scan for an environment of the network device, receiving network device for receiving a reflection signal based on a reflection of the radio signal from the at least one target object, and data fusion network device for detecting and positioning the at least one target object based on at least one of the reflection signal or a Line-of-Sight (LOS) signal.
