Management of inter-frequency measurements

An apparatus for managing inter-frequency measurements, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one processor and the at least one memory being configured to:
• identify a first frequency for measurement that is associated with mobility of an access terminal for transitioning from a serving primary cell to a target primary cell;
• identify a second frequency for measurement that is associated with supplemental capacity of the access terminal for adding a secondary cell to operate in conjunction with the serving primary cell;
• prioritize the mobility of the access terminal or the supplemental capacity of the access terminal;
• select for measurement in a measurement period either the first frequency or the second frequency based on the prioritizing;
• and
• trigger a measurement for the selected frequency.

An apparatus for managing inter-frequency measurements, comprising:

• means for identifying a first frequency for measurement that is associated with mobility of an access terminal for transitioning from a serving primary cell to a target primary cell;
• means for identifying a second frequency for measurement that is associated with supplemental capacity of the access terminal for adding a secondary cell to operate in conjunction with the serving primary cell;
• means for prioritizing the mobility of the access terminal or the supplemental capacity of the access terminal;
• means for selecting for measurement in a measurement period either the first frequency or the second frequency based on the prioritizing;
• and
• means for triggering a measurement for the selected frequency.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for managing inter-frequency measurements, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for identifying a first frequency for measurement that is associated with mobility of an access terminal for transitioning from a serving primary cell to a target primary cell;
• code for identifying a second frequency for measurement that is associated with supplemental capacity of the access terminal for adding a secondary cell to operate in conjunction with the serving primary cell;
• code for prioritizing the mobility of the access terminal or the supplemental capacity of the access terminal;
• code for selecting for measurement in a measurement period either the first frequency or the second frequency based on the prioritizing;
• and
• code for triggering a measurement for the selected frequency.
