Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for a user equipment device (UE) to perform band measurements and provide a pruned measurement report to a base station. A first connection is established between the UE and a base station, and a configuration message is received from the base station. The configuration message identifies a plurality of bands for which the UE is to provide measurement reporting. The UE determines whether a band combination of the plurality of bands has an aggregate bandwidth that is greater than the aggregate bandwidth of the first connection and whether a signal quality metric of the determined band combination is greater than a predetermined threshold. Responsive to these determinations, the UE performs band measurements on the bands of the band combination and transmits a pruned measurement report to the base station.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a new radio (NR) wireless network in a standalone deployment. The UE camps on a first cell and determines that a first bandwidth (BW) of the first cell is greater than or equal to a threshold BW value. In response, when the UE is not configured for bandwidth part switching (BWPS), the UE determines whether a second cell is available that is intraband with and has a same priority as the first cell and that has a second BW that is less than the threshold BW value. When the second cell is not available, the UE searches for a next lower priority cell that has a third BW that is less than the threshold BW value.
