Claim 12:
13. A method for a user equipment (UE) to provide searcher resource coordination between new radio (NR) positioning reference signal (PRS) measurements and Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) PRS measurements 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 PRS measurement for a positioning reference cell; and
for non-positioning reference cells, sharing searcher resources among the NR PRS measurements and the E-UTRA PRS measurements based on a first time domain threshold T1 for the E-UTRA PRS measurements and a second time domain threshold T2 for the NR PRS measurements.
