Per UE network controlled small gap (NCSG) signalling

Abstract:

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to encode capability information for transmission within a serving cell of an evolved Node-B (eNB), the capability information indicating the UE supports per UE network controlled small gap (NCSG) operation. A request message is encoded to request a per UE NCSG on a first frequency associated with the serving cell. Configuration information received in response to the request message can be decoded, the configuration information including a NCSG configuration for the NCSG on the first frequency. Measurements can be performed on a second frequency during a measurement gap, the measurement gap configured based on the NCSG configuration. A network message is decoded in response to the capability information, the network message including an indication of the request message for requesting the per UE NCSG on the first frequency.
