Abstract

A method for positioning a Mobile Station (MS) is provided. The method includes transmitting, by a serving base station of a MS, indication information of a Location Based Services (LBS) zone to the MS receiving, by the MS according to the indication information, a reference signal used for positioning the MS in the LBS zone from a base station of a neighboring cell, wherein the LBS zone is multiplexed with a control information field in N downlink subframes, or with the control information field and a data field in the N downlink subframes, and wherein N is larger than or equal to 1. In the case of restraining interference of a serving cell signal to a neighboring cell signal, the requirements of system resource allocation and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) timing synchronization can also be satisfied.
