Abstract
According to certain embodiments, disclosed is a method performed by a master node, MN, (160A) for measurement gap configuration. The method may include operating in a dual connectivity, DC, configuration with a secondary node, SN, (160B) and a wireless device (110). The method may further include configuring the wireless device (110) with a measurement gap configuration, wherein the measurement gap configuration allows the wireless device (110) to measure a first frequency range, FR1, and a second frequency range, FR2.
Claims30
A master node, MN, for measurement gap configuration, the method comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- operate in a dual connectivity, DC, configuration with a secondary node, SN, and a wireless device;
- and
- configure a measurement gap configuration for the wireless device, wherein the measurement gap configuration allows the wireless device to measure a first frequency range, FR1, and a second frequency range, FR2;
- and
- interface circuitry operably coupled to the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry configured to transmit the measurement gap configuration to the wireless device.
A master node, MN, for measurement gap configuration, the MN comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- operate in a dual connectivity, DC, configuration with a secondary node, SN;
- and
- configure a first measurement gap configuration for a first frequency range, FR1, only, wherein the first measurement gap allows the wireless device to measure FR1;
- and
- interface circuitry operably coupled to the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry configured to transmit the first measurement gap configuration to the wireless device.
A secondary node, SN, for measurement gap configuration, the SN comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to operate in a dual connectivity, DC, configuration with a master node, MN, and a wireless device;
- and
- interface circuitry operably coupled to the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry configured to receive a message from the MN, the message associated with a configuration of at least one of a first measurement gap configuration for a first frequency range (FR1) and a second measurement gap configuration for a second frequency range (FR2) for the wireless device.
A wireless device for measurement gap configuration, the wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- operate in a dual connectivity, DC, configuration with a master node, MN, and a secondary node, SN;
- and
- operate using a radio frequency, RF, chain for a first frequency range, FR1, and a second frequency range, FR2;
- and
- interface circuitry operably coupled to the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry configured to transmit capability information to the MN, the capability information indicating whether the wireless device supports a separate RF chain for FR1 and FR2 or whether the wireless device supports a shared RF chain for FR1 and FR2.
