1. A method for receiving and processing joint positioning and communications, the method comprising:
receiving a first signal comprising a joint positioning-communications waveform from a network node, the joint positioning-communications waveform comprising:
a preamble;
a data payload, wherein the data payload of the first signal comprises a first position state of the network node;
a first positioning sequence; and
a second positioning sequence; and
estimating a second position state relative to the network node from the first signal.
