According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the relaxed measurement condition related parameters may be included in the first measurement configuration received in step 1102.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the relaxed measurement condition may be that UE is stationary or with low mobility.
For example, the UE may be considered as stationary or with low mobility if serving cell measurement quality does not change more than a relative threshold during a time period.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the relaxed measurement condition may be that UE is not at cell edge.
For example, the UE may be considered as being not at cell edge if the measured Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and/or Signal to Interference & Noise Ratio (SINR) quality of serving cell (or beam) is above a threshold.
In step 1107, the UE may performing relaxed measurement on a frequency included in the first measurement configuration but not included in the second measurement configuration.
If the UE satisfies one or more relaxed measurement condition evaluated in step 1106, the UE may perform relaxed measurement on a selected frequency if the selected frequency is included in the first measurement configuration received in step 1102 but not included in the second measurement configuration received in step 1103.
The UE may perform normal measurements (for example, no relaxed measurement) on a frequency if the frequency is included in the second measurement configuration received in step 1103.
