1. A method of performing a positioning measurement by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the wireless device from a base station of a wireless communication network, configuration information to configure a plurality of first measurement gaps dedicated for the positioning measurement;
determining, by the wireless device, if a scheduled reception window or a scheduled transmission window collides with one of the plurality of first measurement gaps;
skipping, by the wireless device, the positioning measurement during one first measurement gap of the plurality of first measurement gaps, in response to determining there is a collision between the scheduled reception window or the scheduled transmission window with the one first measurement gap; and
receiving, by the wireless device, a positioning reference signal to perform the positioning measurement during the one first measurement gap in response to determining there is no collision between the scheduled reception window and the scheduled transmission window with the one first measurement gap.
