Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose methods and apparatuses for sidelink positioning. A first terminal device transmits capability information of the first terminal device along with a positioning reference signal (PRS), and the capability information indicates a capability to provide the location information of the first terminal device. Then the first terminal device receives a request for the location information of the first terminal device from a second terminal device. Based on receiving the request, the first terminal device transmits the location information along with a subsequent PRS. As such, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the first terminal device may transmit location information according to the request of the second terminal device. Thereby the sidelink positioning performance is improved.
