Abstract

To provide a base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, a location server, and a communication apparatus that are capable of improving position estimation accuracy. A physical signal generating unit configured to generate first positioning reference signal and second positioning reference signal, and a transmitter configured to transmit the first positioning reference signal and the second positioning reference signal to a terminal apparatus are provided. The first positioning reference signal is mapped on one resource block and the second positioning reference signal is mapped on at least six resource blocks. The resource block is constituted of prescribed subcarriers in a frequency domain. A maximum v number of consecutive subframes on which the first positioning reference signal is transmitted is larger than a maximum number of consecutive subframes on which the second positioning reference signal is transmitted.
