Abstract:
A terminal device for use in a wireless telecommunications network, the terminal device comprising: first receiver circuitry configured to receive a first signal from each of one or more signal emitting devices located at respective spatial positions; transmitter circuitry configured to transmit a second signal to infrastructure equipment of the wireless telecommunications network; second receiver circuitry configured to receive a third signal from the infrastructure equipment, the third signal being transmitted by the infrastructure equipment in response to the infrastructure equipment receiving the second signal, the third signal being for determining, in combination with the first signal received from each of the one or more signal emitting devices, the spatial position of the terminal device, and the third signal being comprised within a predetermined system information block (SIB); and control circuitry configured to determine a spatial position of the terminal device based on the received first and third signals.
