1. A method, performed by a wireless communications device, for uplink-based positioning, comprising:
receiving configuration information for uplink-based positioning from a positioning computation node, wherein the configuration information enables coordination between transmit beams at the wireless communications device and respective receive beams at a set of participating radio access network (RAN) nodes; and
transmitting an uplink reference signal to the set of participating RAN nodes in accordance with the configuration information.
