An apparatus for determining a position of an entity of a wireless communication network, the comprises a position determining processor to determine a position of a first entity (gNB, UE, IoT) in the wireless communication network using one or more position measurements between the first entity and one or more second entities (gNB, UE, IoT), each of the first and second entities comprising one or more antennas to transmit and/or receive a radio signal for the position measurement. The position determining processor is to determine the position of the first entity using a transmission reception reference point, TRRP, of the radio signal at the one or more antennas of the first entity and/or the one or more second entities.
