1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- generating a position reference signal (PRS) for a transmitter having a same physical cell identity (PCI) as a macro eNodeB, the PRS being based on at least one of a virtual cell ID and a cell global identification (CGI) of the transmitter such that the PRS is different from a PRS of the macro eNodeB; and
transmitting the PRS to a user equipment located in a region of a cell of the transmitter that overlaps with a cell of the macro eNodeB.

Abstract
A method of wireless communication includes generating a position reference signal (PRS) for a transmitter having a same physical cell identity (PCI) as a macro eNodeB. The PRS is based on a virtual cell ID and/or cell global identification (CGI) of the transmitter such that the PRS is different from a PRS of the macro eNodeB. The method also includes transmitting the PRS.
