Measurement gap and scheduling

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories each coupled with at least one of the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories, individually or in combination, and operable, when executed by the one or more processors, individually or in combination, to cause the apparatus to:
• receive data from a first base station;
• perform, in a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration, a measurement of a downlink signal from a second base station based on a measurement configuration;
• determine, before performing the measurement, that at least one of a threshold amount of data or a threshold number of uplink grants is received from the first base station within a threshold length of time;
• determine, after performing the measurement, that at least one of another threshold amount of data or another threshold number of uplink grants is not received from the first base station within another threshold length of time;
• identify a decrease in at least one of an amount of received downlink data or a number of received grants to transmit uplink data based on the determinations;
• and
• transmit, in the DRX on duration, a scheduling request in response to the decrease in the at least one of the amount of the received downlink data or the number of the received grants to transmit the uplink data after the measurement is performed.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving data from a first base station;
• means for performing, in a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration, a measurement of a downlink signal from a second base station based on a measurement configuration;
• means for determining, before performing the measurement, that at least one of a threshold amount of data or a threshold number of uplink grants is received from the first base station within a threshold length of time;
• the means for determining being further configured to determine, after performing the measurement, that at least one of another threshold amount of data or another threshold number of uplink grants is not received from the first base station within another threshold length of time;
• means for identifying a decrease in at least one of an amount of received downlink data or a number of received grants to transmit uplink data based on the determinations;
• and
• means for transmitting, in the DRX on duration, a scheduling request in response to the decrease in the at least one of the amount of the received downlink data or the number of the received grants to transmit the uplink data after the measurement is performed.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer executable code, the code when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors, individually or in combination, to:

• receive data from a first base station;
• perform, in a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration, a measurement of a downlink signal from a second base station based on a measurement configuration;
• determine, before performing the measurement, that at least one of a threshold amount of data or a threshold number of uplink grants is received from the first base station within a threshold length of time;
• determine, after performing the measurement, that at least one of another threshold amount of data or another threshold number of uplink grants is not received from the first base station within another threshold length of time;
• identify a decrease in at least one of an amount of received downlink data or a number of received grants to transmit uplink data based on the determinations;
• and
• transmit, in the DRX on duration, a scheduling request in response to the decrease in the at least one of the amount of the received downlink data or the number of the received grants to transmit the uplink data after the measurement is performed.
