1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
receiving information for an angle of departure (AoD) positioning method, the information including beam direction information for each of multiple nodes and location information of each of the multiple nodes;
receiving, from the multiple nodes, downlink reference signals of the multiple nodes;
determining a position of the UE based on the information for the AoD positioning method and reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements of the downlink reference signals; and
transmitting, to a location server, information of the position of the UE and confidence information associated with an accuracy,
wherein the beam direction information includes information for an angle associated with a reference direction being a geographical north, and
wherein capability information for the AoD positioning method is transmitted to the location server, the capability information including information on a maximum supported bandwidth.
