Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for improving Positioning Reference Signaling (PRS) measurements. A method comprises receiving an instruction at a user equipment (UE) to perform a PRS measurement on a target band, wherein the PRS measurement is an inter-frequency PRS measurement associated with a PRS measurement occasion, estimating, for each transceiver of a plurality of transceivers associated with the UE, and based on one or more transmit frequency bands thereof, interference with the inter-frequency PRS measurement, identifying a primary aggressor transceiver from among the plurality of transceivers, wherein the primary aggressor transceiver has a highest estimated interference, identifying an uplink transmission window associated with the primary aggressor transceiver, comparing the uplink transmission window to the PRS measurement occasion, selecting the identified primary aggressor transceiver as a selected transceiver in response to a determination that there is complete overlap between the uplink transmission window and the PRS measurement occasion, tuning the selected transceiver to the target band, and performing the inter-frequency PRS measurement with the selected tr…
