Abstract

A method includes controlling receiving, by a user device, frequency-shifted signals from a plurality of backscatter nodes for locating the user device, wherein each of the plurality of backscatter nodes is identifiable by a backscatter node-specific frequency offset of the frequency-shifted signals according to a configuration; determining, by the user device, phase information and a frequency offset for each of the received frequency-shifted signals; and controlling transmitting, by the user device to a network node that provides the configuration: the phase information and the frequency offset for each of the received frequency-shifted signals, for a positioning control entity to carry out the locating of the user device; or a location of the user device that is determined, by the user device, based on the phase information, the frequency offset for each of the received frequency-shifted signals and locations of the plurality of backscatter nodes known by the user device.
