Disclosed herein is a method for configuring one or more measurement gaps in a wireless network. The method includes receiving a configuration message with one or more network parameters from a network device. The one or more network parameters include an LTM candidate cell configuration, a measurement gap configuration MG configuration includes a candidate identifier or NR-ARFCN or RS configuration of LTM measurements associated with MG, a type-1 measurement gap configuration, received CellGroupConfig from a distributed unit (DU). The method includes performing one or more actions upon receiving the configuration message. The one or more actions include creating an LTM candidate configuration, associating the measurement gap to an LTM measurement configuration, and applying the received measurement gap for both LTM and L3 measurements. The method includes sending an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the network device upon the completion of the one or more actions.
