Abstract:
The embodiments herein relate to method performed by a radio network node or a LMF, a method performed by a UE and a UE for downlink and uplink beam management for positioning measurements. The method comprising at least: configuring the target UE; receiving at least one report from the UE; exchanging the report(s) with neighboring network nodes and/or a location measurement function; providing instructions the UTE; receiving at least one measurement report from the UE; and estimating the location of the UE using received information.
