Adapting search, measurement, and loop tracking periodicities in new radio communications

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
• determine, based on one or more parameters:
• a first periodicity to perform a search to detect one or more component carriers (CCs), cells, beams, or a combination thereof;
• a second periodicity to perform measurement of one or more cells, beams, or both in one more detected CCs;
• and
• a third periodicity to perform loop tracking to monitor a downlink serving quality, an uplink serving beam quality, or both of a cell;
• and
• perform the search at the determined first periodicity, measurement at the determined second periodicity, and loop tracking at the determined third periodicity.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a user equipment (UE) cause the UE to:

• determine, based on one or more parameters:
• a first periodicity to perform a search to detect one or more component carriers (CCs), cells, beams, or a combination thereof;
• a second periodicity to perform measurement of one or more cells, beams, or both in one more detected CCs;
• and
• a third periodicity to perform loop tracking to monitor a downlink serving quality, an uplink serving beam quality, or both of a cell;
• and
• perform the search at the determined first periodicity, measurement at the determined second periodicity, and loop tracking at the determined third periodicity.

An apparatus for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for determining, based on one or more parameters:
• a first periodicity to perform a search to detect one or more component carriers (CCs), cells, beams, or a combination thereof;
• a second periodicity to perform measurement of one or more cells, beams, or both in one more detected CCs;
• and
• a third periodicity to perform loop tracking to monitor a downlink serving quality, an uplink serving beam quality, or both of a cell;
• and
• means for performing the search at the determined first periodicity, measurement at the determined second periodicity, and loop tracking at the determined third periodicity.
