The configuration parameters may include a first measurement object, of a carrier, indicating one or more first reference signals, one or more conditions to initiate, based on the first measurement object, a first measurement of a signal quality of the one or more first reference signals, a first threshold value indicating upperbound signal quality, and a second threshold value indicating lowerbound signal quality, wherein the first threshold value and the second threshold value are associated with skipping the first measurement based on the first measurement object. The method may include receiving, from the wireless device, the signal quality based on the configuration parameters. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: transmitting at least one radio resource control messages, wherein the radio resource control messages comprise configuration parameters, wherein the configuration parameters comprise: a first measurement object of a carrier, wherein the first measurement object indicates at least one first reference signals;
