Methods for rrm measurements when ue is configured with multiple concurrent measurement gap patterns

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one antenna;
• at least one radio configured to communicate using the at least one antenna;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one radio, the at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving measurement gap configuration parameters indicating multiple measurement gap patterns concurrently configured for the UE;
• receiving a measurement object identifying:
• a carrier frequency;
• and
• time and frequency locations of reference signals on the carrier frequency;
• identifying, based on the measurement object, among the multiple measurement gap patterns, a measurement gap pattern associated with the reference signals;
• and
• measuring the reference signals on the carrier frequency using the identified measurement gap pattern.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations comprising:

• receiving measurement gap configuration parameters indicating multiple measurement gap patterns concurrently configured for the UE;
• receiving a measurement object identifying:
• a carrier frequency;
• and
• time and frequency locations of reference signals on the carrier frequency;
• identifying, based on the measurement object, among the multiple measurement gap patterns, a measurement gap pattern associated with the reference signals;
• and
• measuring the reference signals on the carrier frequency using the identified measurement gap pattern.

Baseband circuitry for a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the baseband circuitry to perform operations comprising:
• receiving measurement gap configuration parameters indicating multiple measurement gap patterns concurrently configured for the UE;
• receiving a measurement object identifying:
• a carrier frequency;
• and
• time and frequency locations of reference signals on the carrier frequency;
• identifying, based on the measurement object, among the multiple measurement gap patterns, a measurement gap pattern associated with the reference signals;
• and
• measuring the reference signals on the carrier frequency using the identified measurement gap pattern.
