Claim 0:
1. A method for resolving measurement collision in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
identifying a period of overlap in which a synchronization signal block (SSB) based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) measurement window overlaps with a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) measurement window;
storing a set of overlap rules that govern measurement signal transmissions during the period of overlap;
determining for the period of overlap, whether to transmit an SMTC measurement signal, a CSI-RS measurement signal, or a portion of both the SMTC measurement signal and the CSI-RS measurement signal based on the stored set of overlap rules;
assigning at least one of the SMTC measurement signal and the CSI-RS measurement signal to collision resource elements corresponding to the period of overlap based on the determining; and
transmitting the at least one of the SMTC measurement signal or the CSI-RS measurement signal to a user equipment (UE) based on the assigning.
