Efficient positioning enhancement for dynamic spectrum sharing

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• a transceiver;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver and configured to:
• receive a first set of location measurements obtained by a mobile device for first positioning reference signals (PRSs) transmitted in a first plurality of cells, the first plurality of cells using a first radio access technology (RAT);
• receive a second set of location measurements obtained by the mobile device for second PRSs transmitted in a second plurality of cells, the second plurality of cells using a second RAT, wherein the first RAT and the second RAT are different radio access technologies operating on the same radio frequency band, with the first set of location measurements corresponding to first PRS positioning occasions of the first PRSs scheduled for occurrence at the same time with second PRS positioning occasions of the second PRSs corresponding to the second set of location measurements;
• and
• determine a location of the mobile device based at least in part on the first set of location measurements and the second set of location measurements.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving a first set of location measurements obtained by a mobile device for first positioning reference signals (PRSs) transmitted in a first plurality of cells, the first plurality of cells using a first radio access technology (RAT);
• means for receiving a second set of location measurements obtained by the mobile device for second PRSs transmitted in a second plurality of cells, the second plurality of cells using a second RAT, wherein the first RAT and the second RAT are different radio access technologies operating on the same radio frequency band, with the first set of location measurements corresponding to first PRS positioning occasions of the first PRSs scheduled for occurrence at the same time with second PRS positioning occasions of the second PRSs corresponding to the second set of location measurements;
• and
• means for determining a location of the mobile device based at least in part on the first set of location measurements and the second set of location measurements.
