Abstract
A radio network node receives an indication from the user equipment that the user equipment is going to perform an inter-frequency measurement for positioning, which inter-frequency measurement requires measurement gaps. The radio network node may determine a measurement gap pattern for performing the inter-frequency measurement and may signal, to the user equipment, information to initiate use of the determined measurement gap pattern in the user equipment. Alternatively the user equipment configures the measurement gap pattern itself based on a set of pre-defined rules.
Claims15
A method in a user equipment of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a radio network node, information indicating that the user equipment is going to perform an inter-frequency measurement for positioning, wherein the inter-frequency measurement requires measurement gaps;
- and
- performing the inter-frequency measurement for positioning.
A user equipment configured for use in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising a transmitter and processing circuitry wherein the user equipment is configured to:
- transmit, to a radio network node, information indicating that the user equipment is going to perform an inter-frequency measurement for positioning, wherein the inter-frequency measurement requires measurement gaps;
- and
- perform the inter-frequency measurement for positioning.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by a processor of a user equipment, causes the user equipment to:
- transmit, to a radio network node, information indicating that the user equipment is going to perform an inter-frequency measurement for positioning, wherein the inter-frequency measurement requires measurement gaps;
- and
- perform the inter-frequency measurement for positioning.
