A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) network performs Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) based Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements with or without measurement gaps. The UE may decode network signalling or that triggers a status change of a pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may perform the SSB based RRM measurements with measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change activated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may deactivate the pre-configured measurement gap and perform the SSB based RRM measurements without measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change deactivated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may also encode a measurement report for transmission to the network which may include measurements results from the SSB based RRM measurements performed during a measurement reporting delay period. The number of samples of the SSB based RRM measurements that are included in the measurement report may be based at least in part on measurement gap status changes triggered during the measurement reporting delay period.
