Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for determining a position of a user device, UE, of a wireless communication network is described. The wireless communication network includes a radio access network, RAN, and a plurality of non-terrestrial network, NTN, components, like an airborne vehicle or a spaceborne vehicle, operating on a bent pipe principle for a transmission between the UE and the RAN. The wherein the apparatus is to receive (1) for bent pipe transmissions between the UE and the RAN via at least two different NTN components respective values indicative of a distance between the UE and the RAN, or (2) one or more Doppler values for each link between the UE and the at least two NTN components. The apparatus is to obtain positions of the at least two NTN components, and determine the position of the UE using the obtained positions of the at least two NTN components and the values or one or more Doppler values.
