Measurement gap sharing between radio resource management and positioning reference signal measurements

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, via the at least one transceiver, a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration, the PRS configuration indicating at least a muting bitmap, a muting type, a PRS periodicity, or any combination thereof;
• receive, via the at least one transceiver, a measurement gap configuration, the measurement gap configuration indicating one or more measurement gaps and a measurement gap periodicity;
• and
• perform positioning measurements, mobility measurements, or both within the one or more measurement gaps based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for the one or more measurement gaps, the CSSF determined based on the PRS periodicity, the measurement gap periodicity, a size of the muting bitmap, the muting type, or any combination thereof.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for receiving a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration, the PRS configuration indicating at least a muting bitmap, a muting type, a PRS periodicity, or any combination thereof;
• means for receiving a measurement gap configuration, the measurement gap configuration indicating one or more measurement gaps and a measurement gap periodicity;
• and
• means for performing positioning measurements, mobility measurements, or both within the one or more measurement gaps based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for the one or more measurement gaps, the CSSF determined based on the PRS periodicity, the measurement gap periodicity, a size of the muting bitmap, the muting type, or any combination thereof.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

• receive a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration, the PRS configuration indicating at least a muting bitmap, a muting type, a PRS periodicity, or any combination thereof;
• receive a measurement gap configuration, the measurement gap configuration indicating one or more measurement gaps and a measurement gap periodicity;
• and
• perform positioning measurements, mobility measurements, or both within the one or more measurement gaps based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for the one or more measurement gaps, the CSSF determined based on the PRS periodicity, the measurement gap periodicity, a size of the muting bitmap, the muting type, or any combination thereof.
