Claim 16:
17. The method of claim 13, wherein for non-positioning reference cells, sharing searcher resources among the NR PRS measurements and the E-UTRA PRS measurements comprises:
if an E-UTRAN PRS occasion periodicity is greater than T1 and an NR PRS occasion periodicity is greater than T2, equally sharing between the E-UTRAN PRS measurements and the NR PRS measurements, and using a higher sharing factor for the E-UTRAN PRS measurements and the NR PRS measurements than that used for mobility based measurements;
if the E-UTRAN PRS occasion periodicity is less than T1 and the NR PRS occasion periodicity is greater than T2, prioritizing the NR PRS measurements with a higher sharing factor than that used for the E-UTRAN PRS measurements or mobility based measurements;
if the E-UTRAN PRS occasion periodicity is greater than T1 and the NR PRS occasion periodicity is less than T2, prioritizing the E-UTRAN PRS measurements with a higher sharing factor than that used for the NR PRS measurements or mobility based measurements; and
if the E-UTRAN PRS occasion periodicity is less than T1 and the NR PRS occasion periodicity is less than T2, equally sharing between the E-UTRAN PRS measurements and the NR PRS measurements, and using a same sharing factor for the E-UTRAN PRS measurements and the NR PRS measurements as that used for mobility based measurements.
