ON-DEMAND MEASUREMENT GAP FOR INTER-FREQUENCY RRM MEASUREMENTS

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an on-demand measurement gap for inter-frequency radio resource management (RRM) measurements. A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) includes configuring a user equipment (UE) in the serving cell for measurement of target cell (s) and with an on-demand measurement gap configuration for measuring the target cell (s). Neighbor cells in a same frequency can coordinate to align synchronization signal block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmission and provide timing information of the aligned SSB or CSI-RS transmission to a cell in a different frequency. A method by a UE includes receiving an on-demand measurement gap configuration from a serving cell co and measuring target cell (s) based on the measurement gap configuration.
