摘要
Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for indicating, by a wireless device, to a wireless station, an ability to support semi-persistent (SP) measurement gap (MG) configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a SP MG configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a message to activate the SP MG configuration; performing, in response to receiving the message to activate the SP MG configuration, a target carrier frequency measurement, wherein the target carrier frequency measurement is performed in accordance with the activated SP MG configuration; receiving from the wireless station, a message to deactivate the SP MG configuration; and discontinuing, in response to receiving the message to deactivate the SP MG configuration, the performance of the target carrier frequency measurement. In other aspects, the wireless device may indicate, to the wireless station, an ability to support aperiodic (AP) MG configuration, which does not require explicit deactivation by the wireless station.

The present application relates to wireless devices and wireless networks, including devices, circuits, and methods for dynamic measurement gap (MG) operation.
Wireless communication systems are rapidly growing in usage. In recent years, wireless devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have become increasingly sophisticated. In addition to supporting telephone calls, many mobile devices now provide access to the internet, email, text messaging, and navigation using the global positioning system (GPS), and are capable of operating sophisticated applications that utilize these functionalities. Additionally, there exist numerous different wireless communication technologies and standards. Some examples of wireless communication standards include GSM, UMTS (associated with, for example, WCDMA or TD-SCDMA air interfaces), LTE, LTE Advanced (LTE-A), HSPA, 3GPP2 CDMA2000 (e.g., 1×RTT, 1×EV-DO. HRPD, eHRPD), IEEE 802.11 (WLAN or Wi-Fi), BLUETOOTH?, etc.
The ever increasing number of features and functionality introduced in wireless communication devices also creates a continuous need for improvement in both wireless communications and in wireless communication devices. To increase coverage and better serve the increasing demand and range of envisioned uses of wireless communication, in addition to the communication standards mentioned above, there are further wireless communication technologies under development, including fifth generation (5G) New Radio (NR) communication. Accordingly, improvements in the field in support of such development and design are desired.
