Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the UE to:
- receive an indication that a tune-away period is available;
- and
- perform one or more neighbor cell measurements during the tune-away period based at least in part on the indication.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the base station to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for a tune-away period to perform one or more neighbor cell measurements;
- and
- avoid scheduling downlink and uplink activity for the UE during the tune-away period based at least in part on the request for the tune-away period.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving an indication that a tune-away period is available;
- and
- performing one or more neighbor cell measurements during the tune-away period based at least in part on the indication.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for a tune-away period to perform one or more neighbor cell measurements;
- and
- avoiding scheduling downlink and uplink activity for the UE during the tune-away period based at least in part on the request for the tune-away period.
