FIELD: measurement.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to support of measurement gage pattern configuration for user equipment (91), which requires measuring gaps for inter-frequency measurement for positioning. For this purpose, in node (81) of the wireless network of the wireless communication system for supporting the gaps pattern configuration for user equipment (91) comprises the step, where receiving (71) from user equipment indication (85) that user equipment (91) is preparing for inter-frequency measurement for positioning, for which measuring gaps are required, and said indication includes information on timing of occurrence of reference signals to be used for inter-frequency measurement; where said indication includes timing offset information used to configure measuring gaps pattern such that sufficient number of reference signals used in inter-frequency measurement falls within measurement gaps of measuring gaps pattern.
EFFECT: technical result is increased volume of radio resources available for radio frequency measurements, elimination of restrictions imposed on network.
