Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A base station for resolving measurement collision in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver configured to perform wireless communication; a memory that stores a collision rule governing collision measurement signal assignments; and
one or more processors configured to:
identify a collision period 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;
determine for the collision period, whether to transmit an SMTC measurement signal, a CSI-RS measurement signal, or both the SMTC measurement signal and the CSI-RS measurement signal based on the stored collision rule; and
assign at least one of the SMTC measurement signal or the CSI-RS measurement signal to resource elements within the collision period based on determining to generate a measurement signal frame,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the measurement signal frame to a user equipment (UE).
