Method and apparatus for dual connectivity inter-frequency measurements

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• determine a lack of a designation of a carrier to one of at least a master cell group and a secondary cell group from at least one of at least one measurement object or at least one reporting configuration received from a network;
• determine measurement parameters for the carrier corresponding to a strictest parameter of at least one selected from a discontinuous transmission (DRX) configuration and activity associated with the master cell group and at least one selected from a DRX configuration and activity associated with the secondary cell group;
• perform measurements on the carrier corresponding to the determined measurement parameters.

• determine a designation of a carrier to one of a master cell group and a secondary cell group from at least one of at least one measurement object or at least one reporting configuration received from a network;
• if the designation of the carrier is determined to be to the secondary cell group, determine measurement parameters for the carrier corresponding to at least one of a discontinuous transmission (DRX) configuration and activity associated with the determined secondary cell group and perform measurements on the carrier in accordance with the determined measurement parameters;
• and
• if the designation of the carrier is determined to be to the master cell group,
• perform measurements on the carrier corresponding to measurement parameters associated with DRX not being configured on the master cell group, regardless of whether DRX is configured on the master cell group.
