1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless user device and via an antenna, narrow-band (NB) positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration information comprising an NB PRS bitmap indicating a pattern associated with NB PRS time resources, wherein at least one NB PRS for positioning the wireless user device is transmitted via at least one of the NB PRS time resources;
receiving, via first radio frames of a cell and based on a plurality of repetitions of the NB PRS bitmap, a first NB PRS mapped in at least one of first NB PRS time resources of the cell, wherein an NB PRS muting indicator indicates that the first radio frames of the cell are not muted;
generating, based on the first NB PRS, a reference signal time difference (RSTD); and
transmitting the RSTD.
