1. A first wireless device comprising:
a wireless transceiver configured to:
receive first information associated with positioning reference signaling and second information associated with narrow-band (NB) positioning reference signaling; and
transmit a reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement;
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:
determine, based on the first information, positioning reference signal (PRS) information for one or more wireless user devices, wherein the one or more wireless user devices are capable of using a frequency baud not configured for the first wireless device, wherein the PRS information comprises information of a PRS reference cell that transmits a PRS for the one or more wireless user devices, and wherein a portion of the PRS for the one or more wireless user devices is transmitted in a frequency band configured for the first wireless device;
determine, based on the second information, NB PRS information for the first wireless device, wherein the NB PRS information comprises information of an NB PRS reference cell that transmits an NB PRS for the first wireless device; and
determine, based on the NB PRS for the first wireless device and based on the portion of the PRS for the one or more wireless user devices, the RSTD measurement.
