Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for improving positioning of a device in a wireless communications network. In some embodiments, a method performed by a measuring device configured to communicate with a positioning device, comprises: determining a cross-correlation between a received signal and a transmitted reference signal; determining a channel impulse response (CIR) of the cross-correlation related to a first lobe detected above a selected threshold in said CIR; and reporting information on a truncated part of the CIR around the first lobe to the positioning device for enabling the positioning device to correct or estimate a measurement related to a distance between a transmitter and the measuring device and/or a distance between at least one reflecting cluster and the measuring device.
