A method, for a base station, for transmitting Position Reference Signals (PRS) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises mapping PRS to Resource Elements (REs) of a frame structure, and transmitting the frame structure such that the power used to transmit REs containing PRS is higher than the power used to transmit REs not containing PRS. Methods, for a User Equipment (UE), for transmitting PRS in a wireless communication system are also provided. One method comprises measuring the signal strength from one or more base stations, and transmitting PRS with a power determined based on the measurements. Another method comprises receiving signaling from a base station, and transmitting PRS with a power determined based on the signaling.
