1. A method of obtaining a Radio Frequency (RF) performance metric estimate for a receiver used for at least one of a positioning measurement and a timing measurement, the method comprising: calculating at least one of a detection probability and a false alarm rate for a radio signal usable for the at least one of the positioning measurement and the timing measurement; obtaining at least one RF performance metric estimate for the receiver based on at least one of the calculated detection probability and the calculated false alarm rate; comparing the at least one RF performance metric to at least one pre-defined or configured RF performance metric value to determine whether at least one measuring node comprising the receiver complies with the at least one pre-defined or configured RF performance metric value; and configuring the at least one measuring node by changing at least one of a receiver RF characteristic, receiver configuration, and receiver type responsive to the comparison; wherein a reference channel is specified for a radio signal transmission; and wherein the at least one of the pre-defined or configured RF performance metric shall be met for the reference channel.
