Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device for positioning. A first node receives Q positioning reference signals respectively on Q reference signal sub-resources; a first reference signal resource uses a first configuration; the first reference signal resource comprises multiple reference signal sub-resources, and at least one of the multiple reference signal sub-resources uses a second configuration; any of the Q reference signal sub-resources is one of the multiple reference signal sub-resources comprised by the first reference signal resource; the Q positioning reference signals are respectively transmitted by Q transmitters; the Q positioning reference signals are used for determining location information of the first node; a value of Q is used to determine the second configuration. This application enhances the accuracy of Sidelink Positioning.
