Measurement enhancement in radio resource control (rrc) connected for base station (bs)

A machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a Base Station (BS) to:

• receive a UE Assistance Information message comprising a measurement request;
• transmit a first RRCReconfiguration message comprising a measConfig information element (IE);
• receive a MeasurementReport message from a User Equipment (UE) that indicates one or more measurements on one or more sets of frequencies, wherein the one or more sets of frequencies comprise a set of serving frequencies for one of a serving cell or the neighboring cell and a set of non-serving frequencies for the UE, wherein the set of non-serving frequencies are associated with the neighboring cell;
• and
• transmit a second RRCReconfiguration message that configures the UE with at least one set of the one or more sets of frequencies.

A baseband processor configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a UE Assistance Information message comprising a measurement request;
• generating a first RRCReconfiguration message for transmission, wherein the first RRCReconfiguration message comprises a measConfig information element (IE);
• receiving a MeasurementReport message from a User Equipment (UE) that indicates one or more measurements on one or more sets of frequencies, wherein the one or more sets of frequencies comprise a set of serving frequencies for one of a serving cell or the neighboring cell and a set of non-serving frequencies for the UE, wherein the set of non-serving frequencies are associated with the neighboring cell;
• and
• generating a second RRCReconfiguration message for transmission, wherein the second RRCReconfiguration message configures the UE with at least one set of the one or more sets of frequencies.
