Abstract: A device receives, in a first sequence (501) of transmission frames (202) of a wireless channel, first positioning reference signals (151, 152) from a first base station. The device receives, in a second sequence (502) of transmission frames (202) which is at least partly different from the first sequence (501), second positioning reference signals (153, 154) from a second base station. A time-difference of arrival (TDOA) is determined based on the first positioning reference signals (151, 152) and the second positioning reference signals (153, 154).

Abstract: A base station transmits, in a repetitive first sequence of transmission frames of a wireless channel, first positioning reference signals. The base station transmits, in a repetitive second sequence of transmission frames of the wireless channel, second positioning reference signals. The first positioning reference signals and the second positioning reference signals each facilitate determining a time of arrival of signals communicated on the wireless channel.

Abstract: A half-duplex radio device (100) generates a repetitive transmission of an uplink message to a base station (150) of the cellular network. The radio device (100) splits the repetitive transmission of the uplink message into a sequence of multiple transmit periods and configures at least one measurement gap between the transmit periods. In the transmit periods, the radio device (100) sends the repetitive transmission to the base station. In the at least one measurement gap configured between the transmit periods, the radio device (100) temporarily switches to receiving at least one downlink signal from the base station (150). Based on the received at least one downlink signal, the radio device (100) estimates a frequency error of a reference frequency source of the radio device (100).

Abstract: A base station transmits, in a repetitive first sequence (501) of transmission frames (202) of a wireless channel, first positioning reference signals (551). The base station transmits, in a repetitive second sequence (502) of transmission frames (202) of the wireless channel, second positioning reference signals (552). The first positioning reference signals (551) and the second positioning reference signals (552) each facilitate determining a time of arrival of signals communicated on the wireless channel.

Abstract: Method for allocating resources (44) within a grid (40) of time and frequency for communication in a radio communications system under a first protocol, comprising determining an indication of a frequency resource range (43) to be allocated for data communication between a base station and a device within the first radio protocol; determining that a predetermined frequency resource (42) within said range is pre-allocated to communication under a second radio protocol; allocating a frequency resource (44) for the communication in the first radio protocol which overlaps and excludes said predetermined frequency resource for that data communication.

Abstract: Positioning reference signals are transmitted in a downlink direction from base stations (200) of a wireless communication network to a wireless communication device (100) or in an uplink direction from the wireless communication device (100) to base stations (200) of the wireless communication network. According to a frequency hop pattern, a radio interface of the wire-less communication device is switched between multiple different frequency ranges. In this way, the wireless communication device (100) can receive the downlink positioning reference signals on multiple different frequencies defined by the frequency hop pattern or send the uplink positioning reference signals on multiple different frequencies defined by the frequency hop pattern.
