1. A method for providing a positioning reference signal (PRS) to a bandwidth limited user equipment, comprising:
generating a PRS comprising a plurality of symbols occupying a frequency range in a first slot of a radio frame, the PRS including:
a first set of the plurality of symbols occupying a first portion of the frequency range;
a second set of the plurality of symbols occupying a second portion of the frequency range, the first set of the plurality of symbols comprising different symbols than the second set of the plurality of symbols, and the first portion of the frequency range being non-overlapping in frequency with the second portion of the frequency range; and
transmitting, from a base station, the PRS to the bandwidth limited user equipment.
