Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for supporting same, the method carried out by a terminal in a wireless communication system comprising the steps of: receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block comprising a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); receiving system information on the basis of the SS/PBCH block; receiving information associated with a positioning reference signal (PRS) sequence identifier (ID) after receiving the system information; and receiving a PRS associated with the PRS sequence ID, wherein a pseudo-random sequence generator associated with sequence generation of a PRS is initialized by (I) where M is a natural number, K is the number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols per slot, (II) is a slot index, (III) is an OFDM symbol index within the slot, (IV) is the PRS sequence ID, and mod is a modulo calculation.
