Device positioning has generally been recognized as an enabling technology for numerous vehicular applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The downlink time difference of arrival (DL-TDOA) technique in cellular networks requires range information of geographically diverse base stations (BSs) to be measured by user equipment (UE) through the positioning reference signal (PRS). However, inter-cell interference from surrounding BSs can be particularly serious under poor network planning or dense deployments. This may lead to a relatively longer measurement time to locate the UE, causing an unacceptable location update rate to time-sensitive applications. In this case, PRS muting of certain wireless resources has been envisioned as a promising solution to increase the detectability of a weak BS. In this paper, to reduce UE measurement latency while ensuring high location accuracy, we …
