RRM measurement in 5G new radio FR1 dual connectivity

A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a primary component carrier (PCC) measurement object (MO) configuration, a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) MO configuration, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap configuration;
• determining a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap CSSF;
• and
• applying each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap, wherein the PCC MO CSSF is equal to a number of MOs on the PCC, and wherein the PSCC MO CSSF is equal to twice a number of MOs on the PSCC.

A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a capabilities enquiry as part of a radio resource configuration (RRC) request from a base station, wherein the RRC request is configured to establish a simultaneous connection to a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network, and wherein a primary component carriers (PCC) of the PCell and a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell are both in frequency range 1 (FR1);
• and
• transmitting a user equipment (UE) capability to the base station, wherein the UE capability indicates whether a UE supports mixed numerology between different cell groups and wherein the UE capability includes supportedSubCarrierSpacingDL-NRDC signaling, wherein the UE capability further includes a supportedSubCarrierSpacingDL signaling defined as:
• support of a sub-carrier spacing for downlink (DL) by the UE, indicating the UE supports simultaneous reception with same or different numerologies in carrier aggregation (CA) and FR1+FR1 NR-DC;
• support of simultaneous reception with same numerology for intra-band NR CA including both contiguous and non-contiguous is mandatory with capability in both FR1 and FR2;
• support of simultaneous reception with two different numerologies between FR1 band(s) and FR2 band(s) in DL is mandatory with capability if the UE supports inter-band NR CA including both FR1 band(s) and FR2 band(s);
• and
• support of simultaneous reception with two different numerologies between FR1 band and FR1 band in different NR-DC CGs is mandatory with capability if UE supports FR1+FR1 NR-DC including these two bands.
