Claim 0:
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) to provide searcher resource coordination between new radio (NR) mobility based measurement and Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) positioning reference signal (PRS) based measurement without measurement gap in E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (EN-DC) mode or NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity (NE-DC) mode, the method comprising:
prioritizing the PRS based measurement over the mobility based measurement if a PRS periodicity is greater than a first threshold value, or if the PRS periodicity is equal to the first threshold value and one or more PRS occasions are muted; and
not prioritizing the PRS based measurement over the mobility based measurement if the PRS periodicity is smaller than a second threshold value, or if the PRS periodicity is equal to the second threshold value and none of the one or more PRS occasions are muted.
