Original Abstract Submitted

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for aligning the reporting of timing measurements and corresponding carrier phase (CP) measurements to avoid CP measurement error due to stale timing measurement information. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a request to maintain time separation between respective timestamps of carrier phase (CP) measurements and timing measurements within a predefined timing separation threshold. The method further includes generating, at the UE, at least one DL CP measurement associated with at least one timestamp, and at least one DL timing measurement associated with at least one DL timing measurement timestamp based on the predefined timing separation threshold, wherein a timing separation between the at least one timestamp and the at least one DL timing measurement timestamp is within the predefined timing separation threshold.
