The invention relates to an electronic device and
wireless communication method in a
wireless communication
system. The electronic device comprises one or more
processing circuits which are configured for performing the operations of determining positioning measurement auxiliary data for
user equipment, wherein the auxiliary data comprises configuration information of an enhanced discovery reference
signal eDRS sent by at least one sleep
small cell base station; carrying out positioning measurement on the eDRS sent by the at least one
small cell base station based on the auxiliary data; and generating positioning information based on the result obtained by carrying out the positioning measurement on the eDRS sent by the at least one
small cell base station, thereby positioning the
user equipment, wherein the eDRS has higher transmitting power than that of a discovery reference
signal DRS. According to the electronic device and the
wireless communication method disclosed by the invention, the existing DRS
signal can be utilized fully, the DRS signal is suitably enhanced, the positioning precision is improved, and a positioning process is accelerated.
