    Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

    Abstract: New radio (NR), also known as fifth generation (5G) radio or fifth generation long term evolution (5G LTE)) uses a measurement gap that allows for measurement on different beams, multiple frame structure and inter-radio access technology measurement. For example, in measurement on the different beams, the UE (114) and eNB (304) beam sweep (i.e., change analog beam transmitter). The UE (114) can measure different beams from a fifth generation node B (gNB) and/or other RAN nodes. The measurement gap can be used for intrafrequency/interfrequency measurement when beam specific reference signals (BRSs) are not transmitted in the same subframe. A multiple frame structure can use the specific measurement configuration to utilize the beam resources efficiently. LTE and NR and other interRAT measurement can also use the measurement gap.

    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.
