1. A method of performing positioning using a network, comprising:

  • determining signal dimensions for an enhanced pilot from enhanced pilot information associated with a plurality of enhanced pilots, wherein the plurality of enhanced pilots include one or both of;

    enhanced pilots transmitted by different sets of sectors in different sets of time slots, one set of time slots for each set of sectors;

    orenhanced pilots transmitted by different sets of time frequency resources, one set of time frequency resources for each set of sectors;

    receiving at a terminal the enhanced pilot information from the network; and

    performing positioning of the terminal based on results of enhanced pilot measurements for multiple sectors using the enhanced pilot information from the terminal to obtain a position estimate for the terminal.
