    Abstract: Techniques for enhancing the inter-frequency measurement gap to reduce measurement delay between an user equipment (UE) and an evolved NodeB (eNB). These embodiments may include identifying, by a UE, a measurement gap configuration that includes a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), that is less than 40 milliseconds, ms; and performing inter-frequency or inter-radio access technology, RAT, measurement based on the measurement gap configuration. The embodiments may also include receiving, by an eNB, a request from a UE, for a measurement gap configuration that includes a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) less than 40 ms; and transmitting an indication of a gap pattern that includes a MGRP that is less than 40 ms. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB) or user equipment (UE)) can process or generate a measurement gap pattern to enable network measurements of carriers or bands during measurement gaps on a per component carrier (CC) basis. The transmitting or receiving of the measurement objects (e.g., carriers or band) communicatively coupled on the network and the measurement gap pattern can be communicated via one or more radio resource control (RRC) signals, and re-configured according to a supporting CC data set identifying one or more criteria related to each CC such as UE capabilities, associations of the UE capabilities to measurement gap configurations, types of measurement gap period/gap offsets, different measurement gap patterns, an absence of a measurement gap, or other criteria related to CCs, respectively. In response to the supporting CC data set, measurement gap patterns can be dynamically re-configured per CC.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved inter-frequency measurement are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The eNB may determine a measurement pattern indicating when the UE should perform inter-frequency measurements. The measurement pattern may be selected such that the UE performs measurements more often than once per measurement cycle. The measurement pattern may be selected to balance timing requirements for the UE with increased power consumption that may result from more frequent measurements. The eNB may determine the measurement pattern based on an estimate of UE speed and a number of frequencies to be monitored. A default pattern may be used if the UE speed and/or number of frequencies do not exceed predetermined thresholds.

    Abstract: Adaptive implementation of multiple measurement gap patterns (MGPs) is discussed. One example apparatus can be employed within an eNB, comprising a processor determining a first MGP associated with a first set of one or more carriers and a distinct second MGP associated with a second set of one or more carriers; determining a schedule for a user equipment (UE) associated with the first MGP and the second MGP; and assigning a priority to each carrier of the first set and the second set; transmitter circuitry transmitting to the UE one or more messages that configure the first MGP, the second MGP and the schedule, and transmitting one or more messages that indicate the assigned priorities and the carriers of the first set and the second set; and receiver circuitry receiving carrier measurement(s) from the UE associated with at least one carrier of the first set or the second set.
