Handover
A first base station receives, from a second base station, positioning capability information of the second base station. The first base station receives, from a wireless device, a measurement report. The first base station sends, to the second base station, a handover request message including a request for position information of the wireless device. The sending is based on the measurement report. The sending is based on the positioning capability information of the second base station.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the positioning capability information indicates that the second base station supports at least one positioning type.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one positioning type comprises one or more of:
enhanced cell identity (ECID);
observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA);
network-assisted global navigation satellite system (GNSS);
wireless land area network (WLAN) positioning;
bluetooth positioning;
terrestrial beacon system (TBS); and
barometric pressure sensor positioning.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for position information of the wireless device indicates a request for at least one positioning type.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the request for position information of the wireless device indicates a priority of the requested at least one positioning type.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement report received from the wireless device indicates a signal strength associated with the second base station.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement report received from the wireless device indicates a plurality of signal strengths associated with a first plurality of base stations, wherein the second base station is one of the first plurality of base stations.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving positioning capability information of a second plurality of base stations, wherein the second base station is one of the second plurality of base stations.
11 . A first base station comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first base station to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a second base station, positioning capability information of the second base station;
receiving, from a wireless device, a measurement report;
sending, to the second base station, a handover request message comprising a request for position information of the wireless device, wherein the sending is based on:
the measurement report; and
the positioning capability information of the second base station.
12 . The first base station of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, by the first base station from an access and mobility management function (AMF), the request for position information of the wireless device.
13 . The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the positioning capability information indicates that the second base station supports at least one positioning type.
14 . The first base station of claim 13 , wherein the at least one positioning type comprises one or more of:
enhanced cell identity (ECID);
observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA);
network-assisted global navigation satellite system (GNSS);
wireless land area network (WLAN) positioning;
bluetooth positioning;
terrestrial beacon system (TBS); and
barometric pressure sensor positioning.
15 . The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the request for position information of the wireless device indicates a request for at least one positioning type.
16 . The first base station of claim 15 , wherein the request for position information of the wireless device indicates a priority of the requested at least one positioning type.
17 . The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the measurement report received from the wireless device indicates a signal strength associated with the second base station.
18 . The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the measurement report received from the wireless device indicates a plurality of signal strengths associated with a first plurality of base stations, wherein the second base station is one of the first plurality of base stations.
19 . The first base station of claim 11 , further comprising receiving positioning capability information of a second plurality of base stations, wherein the second base station is one of the second plurality of base stations.
20 . A system, comprising:
a first base station comprising: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first base station to:
receive, from a second base station, positioning capability information of the second base station;
receive, from a wireless device, a measurement report;
send, to the second base station, a handover request message comprising a request for position information of the wireless device, based on:
the measurement report; and
the positioning capability information of the second base station; and
the second base station comprising: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the second base station to:
send, to the first base station, the positioning capability information of the second base station;
receive, from the first base station, the handover request message comprising the request for position information of the wireless device;
determine, based on the handover request message, the position information of the wireless device; and
send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), the position information of the wireless device.
