1. A method of operating a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
receiving a configuration of multiple bandwidth parts, each bandwidth part of the multiple bandwidth parts being associated with a respective access node of multiple access nodes;
receiving, in accordance with the configuration, positioning signals on each bandwidth part of the multiple bandwidth parts from the respectively associated access node of the multiple access nodes, wherein the positioning signals are transmitted by the multiple access nodes on the multiple bandwidth parts; and
participating in positioning of the wireless communication device based on said receiving of the positioning signals, wherein the configuration is indicative of a mapping of a respective one of the multiple bandwidth parts to an identity of the respectively associated access node of the multiple access nodes, and wherein the multiple bandwidth parts are exclusively reserved for a transmission of the position signals.
