Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 20:
21. 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 configuration of a positioning reference signal (PRS) processing gap from a network entity; and
process one or more PRS resources of the at least one PRS instance during the PRS processing gap, wherein the PRS processing gap comprises a period of time, and wherein the at least one processor configured to process the one or more PRS resources is further configured to, during the period of time, prioritize PRS processing over reception, processing, or both, of downlink signals and channels different from PRS,
wherein the downlink signals and channels different from PRS comprise reference signals and data channels and not synchronization signals or control channels,
and wherein the UE does not change an active bandwidth part (BWP) during the PRS processing gap, does not perform any radio frequency (RF) returning during the PRS processing gap, or both.
