User equipment radio frequency and band capability for carrier aggregation measurement gap

User equipment (UE) comprising circuitry to:

• connect to a network via a serving cell;
• indicate to the network a measurement gap capability of the UE, wherein the measurement gap capability includes information if the UE supports a carrier aggregation (CA) specific measurement gap and if the UE has two or more radio-frequency (RF) chains;
• and
• receive a CA specific measurement gap configuration from the network based on the two or more RF chains information.

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising circuitry to:

• connect to a network via a serving cell;
• indicate to the network a measurement gap capability of the UE, wherein the measurement gap capability includes a list of multiple bands for two or more radio-frequency (RF) chains of the UE with an indication of a measurement gap type for the multiple bands;
• and
• receive a measurement gap configuration from the network for the two or more RF chains.

An enhanced Node B (eNB), comprising circuitry to:

• transmit a carrier aggregation (CA) specific measurement gap capability request to a user equipment (UE);
• receive a CA specific measurement gap capability response from the UE;
• and
• transmit a CA specific measurement gap configuration message to the UE to cause the UE to perform measurement gap measurements according to the configuration message.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by user equipment (UE), result in:

• connecting to a network via a serving cell;
• indicating to the network a measurement gap capability of the UE, wherein the measurement gap capability includes information if the UE supports a carrier aggregation (CA) specific measurement gap and if the UE has two or more radio-frequency (RF) chains;
• and
• receiving a CA specific measurement gap configuration from the network for the two or more RF chains.
