Positioning Node, User Equipment and Methods Therein
First Claim
1. A method in a user equipment for enabling positioning of the user equipment in a radio communications network, wherein the user equipment is served in a first cell controlled by a radio network node, wherein the user equipment knows or can obtain a system frame number of at least one cell, and wherein the user equipment, a positioning node, and the radio network node are included in the radio communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the positioning node, a message comprising positioning assistance data, wherein the positioning assistance data comprises information associated with the at least one cell for which the system frame number is known or can be obtained by the user equipment; and
performing a positioning measurement using the positioning assistance data and the system frame number of the at least one cell to enable positioning of the user equipment.

Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a user equipment for enabling positioning of the user equipment in a radio communications network. The user equipment is served in a first cell controlled by a radio network node. The user equipment knows or can obtain a system frame number of at least one cell. The user equipment, a positioning node, and the radio network node are included in the radio communications network. The user equipment receives, from the positioning node, a message comprising positioning assistance data, wherein the positioning assistance data comprises information associated with the at least one cell for which the system frame number is known or can be obtained by the user equipment. The user equipment also performs a positioning measurement using the positioning assistance data and the system frame number of the at least one cell to enable positioning of the user equipment.
