Abstract

A method of operating a user equipment includes receiving, from a location server, first information about a first plurality of positioning signals expected to be transmitted by a first set of base stations; receiving, from a tile information server, second information about a second plurality of positioning signals expected to be transmitted by a second set of base stations, the second set of base stations including at least one additional base station not included in the first set of base stations; measuring a third plurality of positioning signals received from a combination of a first subset of the first set of base stations and a second subset of the second set of base stations, the third plurality of positioning signals including an additional positioning signal transmitted by the at least one additional base station; and sending measurement results for the third plurality of positioning signals to the location server.
