Angle-based positioning and measurement in a telecommunication system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a pre-5-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Disclosed is a method of determining a User Equipment, UE, location wherein the UE is in communication with at least two base stations (gNB) of a telecommunication network, comprising the steps of: determining at least one of: a) Angle of Arrival, AoA, of a signal from the UE at each of the at least two gNBs; b) Angle of Departure, AoD, of a signal from each of the at least two gNBs; c) AoA of a signal from each of the at least two gNBs at the UE; and d) AoD of a signal from the UE at each of the at least two gNBs; and determining the UE position on the basis thereof.
