Abstract
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication comprise receiving a measurement configuration message indicating a Dedicated Channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) gap for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements of a first technology type during operation of the UE according to a second technology type. The methods and apparatus further comprise determining an adjusted DMO gap based on at least one DMO gap adjustment rule, wherein the adjusted DMO gap is shorter in duration than the DMO gap. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise performing a frequency measurement for the second technology type during the DMO gap in one or more open time slots made available by the adjusted DMO gap.
Claims24
A method of operating a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a measurement configuration message indicating a Dedicated Channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) gap for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements of a first technology type during operation of the UE according to a second technology type;
- determining an adjusted DMO gap based on at least one DMO gap adjustment rule, wherein the adjusted DMO gap is shorter in duration than the DMO gap;
- and
- performing a frequency measurement for the second technology type during the DMO gap in one or more open time slots made available by the adjusted DMO gap.
A computer program product for wireless communication, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium including:
- at least one instruction for causing a computer to receive a measurement configuration message indicating a Dedicated Channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) gap for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements of a first technology type during operation of a user equipment (UE) according to a second technology type;
- at least one instruction for causing a computer to determine an adjusted DMO gap based on at least one DMO gap adjustment rule, wherein the adjusted DMO gap is shorter in duration than the DMO gap;
- and
- at least one instruction for causing a computer to perform a frequency measurement for the second technology type during the DMO gap in one or more open time slots made available by the adjusted DMO gap.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving a measurement configuration message indicating a Dedicated Channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) gap for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements of a first technology type during operation of a user equipment (UE) according to a second technology type;
- means for determining an adjusted DMO gap based on at least one DMO gap adjustment rule, wherein the adjusted DMO gap is shorter in duration than the DMO gap;
- and
- means for performing a frequency measurement for the second technology type during the DMO gap in one or more open time slots made available by the adjusted DMO gap.
A user equipment (UE) apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory storing executable instructions;
- and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a measurement configuration message indicating a Dedicated Channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) gap for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements of a first technology type during operation of the UE according to a second technology type;
- determine an adjusted DMO gap based on at least one DMO gap adjustment rule, wherein the adjusted DMO gap is shorter in duration than the DMO gap;
- and
- perform a frequency measurement for the second technology type during the DMO gap in one or more open time slots made available by the adjusted DMO gap.
