USER EQUIPMENT (UE) MEASUREMENT GAP REQUEST AND RELEASE FOR POWER SAVINGS AND MULTIPLE SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE (MSIM) MEASUREMENTS

Abstract:

A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a first network, a first message comprising a first measurement gap configuration, a measurement gap reconfiguration, a selection from a measurement gap pool, or a measurement gap release. The method also includes receiving a second message, from the first network. The second message may configure a measurement gap, reconfigure a measurement gap, or release a measurement gap. The second message may also suspend data communication from the UE during a configured measurement gap. The method additionally includes suspending communication with the first network during the configured measurement gap. The communication may be suspended to save power, tune away for a multiple subscriber identity module (MSIM) of the UE, or measure a neighbor cell.
