CONTROLLING UE INTER-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS IN GAPS IN PRESENCE OF LBT

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determining a measurement time period for performing an inter-frequency measurement within gaps either on a carrier frequency subject to Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) or while using measurement gaps that are shared with another carrier(s). In some embodiments, a method of operation of a User Equipment (UE) comprises configuring measurement gaps for performing at least one first inter-frequency measurement on a first carrier frequency subject to LBT, determining a measurement time period T1 for performing the at least one first inter-frequency measurement in the measurement gaps, and performing the at least one first inter-frequency measurement based on the measurement time period T1. In this manner, UE behavior in the presence of LBT and measurement gaps is well-defined.
