    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.

    Abstract: A terminal device configured to receive a radio signal from which measurements can be used to assist in determining a position of the terminal device. The terminal device detects one or more system information blocks carrying position assistance information transmitted from the infrastructure equipment and estimates the position of the terminal device by combining the identified position assistance information with the radio signal received by the position detection receiver circuitry. Furthermore the terminal device receives from the infrastructure equipment an indication of relative risk that the position assistance information will change, and in response to the indication of the relative risk that the position assistance information will change to adapt the receiving of the one or more system information blocks to receive an updated version of the position assistance information in accordance with the relative risk.
