1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) to provide positioning related data for determining a position estimate of the UE, the UE being connected to a communications network via a radio link, the method comprising:
monitoring for a control channel associated with a positioning occasion in which positioning occasion the UE monitors for at least one positioning reference signal,
wherein the monitoring for the control channel occurs at least one of before, during, or after the positioning occasion, and
in the case that the monitoring for the control channel occurs during the positioning occasion, also monitoring for the control channel at least one of before or after monitoring for a predetermined positioning reference signal, in particular a first or last positioning reference signal of the positioning occasion,
wherein the control channel comprises an allocation configuration of resources for transmitting the positioning related data.
