Abstract
A method for a network device in a wireless communication system, comprising: instructing a user equipment to send uplink reference signals to the network device using a first set of beams; measuring transmission quality metrics of the uplink reference signals sent in each beam direction of the first set of beams; and instructing the user equipment to send uplink reference signals to the network device for uplink positioning using a second set of beams based at least on a transmission quality metric of an uplink reference signal sent in at least one beam direction of the first set of beams being lower than a threshold. The second set of beams enables the user equipment to avoid sending uplink reference signals in beam directions that are interfered by a communication link of a hidden node device. The hidden node device is unknown to the network device and the user equipment.
