Abstract: ABSTRACT “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SIDELINK POSITIONING PROTOCOL DATA UNIT CONFIGURATIONS, MESSAGE ENCODING AND SIGNALING” The present disclosure relates to a method (500) of obtaining location of a first user equipment (UE) wherein the method comprises, receiving (501), by a location management function (LMF), at least one location service (LCS) request from at least one second UE connected to the network, to estimate the location of the first UE. Further, the method includes identifying (502), by the LMF, at least one third UE participating in the positioning session, wherein the LMF communicates with the at least one third UE. Further the method includes, generating (503), by the LMF, at least one first sidelink positioning protocol data units (SLPP PDUs) for the at least one second UE and the at least one third UE, wherein the at least one first SLPP PDU includes at least one first session ID to the at least one LCS request. The method further includes sending (504), by the LMF, at least one first SLPP PDU to at least one of the at least one second UE and the at least one third UE, receiving (505), by the LMF, at least one second SLPP PDU, from the at least one of the at least one second UE and the at least one third UE, to estimate the location of the first UE, wherein the at least one second SLPP PDU includes the at least one first session ID, sending (506), by the LMF, the location estimate of the first UE, to the at least one second UE.
