Abstract
An approach is provided for network-based positioning in non-terrestrial networks. The approach, for example, involves receiving a downlink position reference signal from a network node of a non-terrestrial network. The approach also involves determining whether the user device is in either line-of-sight or non-line-of-sight with respect to a network node of a non-terrestrial network. The approach further involves performing at least one of: (a) based on determining that the user device is in line-of-sight, transmitting a sounding reference signal for positioning to the network node; and (b) based on determining that the user device is in non-line-of-sight, transmitting the sounding reference signal for positioning to the network node for a number of repetitions.
