A radio network node for configuring a measurement gap for positioning to be used by a user equipment, UE,, the radio network node comprising: a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions; and a processor configured to interface with the memory and, by executing the processor-executable instructions, to: receive an indication from the UE indicating that the UE needs measurement gaps for positioning; verify parameters in the indication to determine if one or more pre-defined conditions are met to indicate that the UE is able to perform inter-frequency positioning measurements; and in response to deciding that the one or more pre-defined conditions are not met, either acquire more information or ignore the indication; and in response to deciding that the one or more predefined conditions are met, decide whether to configure the measurement gaps, based on positioning reference signal, PRS, configuration information obtained from one co-located node or via cross-layer communication with a functional block responsible for another radio access technology, RAT, frequency or band; and in response to deciding to configure the measurement gaps, determine a measurement gap configuration based on the parameters in the indication and send the measurement gap configuration to the UE. a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions; and a processor configured to interface with the memory and, by executing the processor-executable instructions, to: receive an indication from the UE indicating that the UE needs measurement gaps for positioning; verify parameters in the indication to determine if one or more pre-defined conditions are met to indicate that the UE is able to perform inter-frequency positioning measurements; and in response to deciding that the one or more pre-defined conditions are not met, either acquire more information or ignore the indication; and in response to deciding that the one or more predefined conditions are met, decide whether to configure the measurement gaps, based on positioning reference signal, PRS, configuration information obtained from one co-located node or via cross-layer communication with a functional block responsible for another radio access technology, RAT, frequency or band; and in response to deciding to configure the measurement gaps, determine a measurement gap configuration based on the parameters in the indication and send the measurement gap configuration to the UE. receive an indication from the UE indicating that the UE needs measurement gaps for positioning; verify parameters in the indication to determine if one or more pre-defined conditions are met to indicate that the UE is able to perform inter-frequency positioning measurements; and in response to deciding that the one or more pre-defined conditions are not met, either acquire more information or ignore the indication; and in response to deciding that the one or more predefined conditions are met, decide whether to configure the measurement gaps, based on positioning reference signal, PRS, configuration information obtained from one co-located node or via cross-layer communication with a functional block responsible for another radio access technology, RAT, frequency or band; and in response to deciding to configure the measurement gaps, determine a measurement gap configuration based on the parameters in the indication and send the measurement gap configuration to the UE.
