Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a method for use in a wireless device comprise determining a coverage level with respect to a serving cell, selecting one of a plurality of configurations for sharing gaps between intra- and inter-frequency measurements, and performing one or more measurements according to the selected configuration for sharing gaps. The configuration for sharing gaps is selected based at least in part on the determined coverage level. For example, certain embodiments use the determined coverage level to select one of a plurality of tables, wherein each table comprises one or more schemes that indicate how to share gaps between intra- and inter-frequency measurements.
