Patent ID: 8903415

Claim:
A method in a user equipment for performing positioning measurement, the method comprises: receiving positioning assistance data from a positioning node, which positioning assistance data comprises: a plurality of reference cells, wherein each reference cell is associated with at least one respective carrier frequency, and a set of neighbor cells comprising at least one neighbor cell; for each reference cell comprised in the plurality of reference cells, identifying a respective associated set of neighbor cells, wherein the reference cell and the respective associated set of neighbor cells define a group, and performing at least two positioning measurements of different types in parallel using the positioning assistance data for each respective identified group, wherein at least one of the set of neighbor cells and the respective associated set of neighbor cells comprises a serving cell, and wherein performing at least two positioning measurements further comprises performing an intra-frequency measurement on the carrier frequency of the neighbor cells when the Evolved Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number earfcn of the carrier frequency of the neighbor cells is equal to the earfcn of the carrier frequency of the reference cell and when the Evolved Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number earfcn of the carrier frequency of the reference cell is equal to the Evolved Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number earfcn of the carrier frequency of the serving cell.
