Systems and methods for channel state information (CSI)—reference signal (RS) based radio resource management (RRM) measurements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a user equipment (UE) to:

• determine a resource block (RB) allocation for a radio resource management (RRM) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);
• determine a bandwidth configuration for a serving cell in an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS partially overlaps with the bandwidth configuration;
• and
• select a measurement mode for performing an RRM measurement on the CSI-RS, wherein the measurement mode is a selected one of:
• a first measurement mode in which reception of active DL BWP is interrupted for a measurement gap and the RRM CSI-RS is measured within the measurement gap;
• or
• a second measurement mode in which only a portion of the RRM CSI-RS that overlaps with the bandwidth configuration of the active DL BWP is measured;
• wherein the measurement mode is selected based on a number of RBs in the RB allocation that are overlapped with the bandwidth configuration.
