    Abstract: A measurement gap enhancement method is disclosed for use in both synchronous and asynchronous networks. The measurement gap enhancement method employs a first measurement gap pattern, suitable for synchronous networks, including measurement gaps that are of shorter duration and available for more frequency measurements than in legacy implementations. The measurement gap enhancement method also employs a second measurement gap pattern, which also includes short duration measurement gaps, but is also characterized by flexible measurement gap repetition periods suited to asynchronous networks. The first and second measurement gap patterns are made known to an user equipment by way of novel information elements used during RRC connection reconfiguration by the enhanced NodeB base station. The measurement gap enhancement method enables the user equipment to maintain its radio frequency setting between measurements, particularly automatic gain control.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for beam management techniques in new radio (NR) applications. Various embodiments describe how to manage beam monitoring including measuring and reporting in an NR network efficiently so that a UE that is capable of measuring a minimum number of beams may report measurement results corresponding to a maximum number of beams. Such a beam management may take into consideration UE capability and network handling capacity to achieve effective and efficient NR communications. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: In embodiments, a UE may measure system frame number (SFN)/subframe timing differences between a master eNB (MeNB) and secondary eNB (SeNB) for dual connectivity (DC). When network-based reporting on the SFN/subframe timing offset is used, no new radio access network (RAN) signaling may be needed. However, in the case of multi-vendor deployments, no network coordination via different Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) for DC may occur. In this case, the network may not be able to obtain SFN/subframe timing offset information. To address this issue, various embodiments disclosed herein include UE-based reporting on SFN/subframe offset between an MeNB and an SeNB.

    Abstract: User Equipment (UE), computer readable media, and methods to modify communication channel measurement timing based on a mobility of the UE are disclosed. The UE may include circuitry configured to determine a plurality of signals from one or more cells, determine a first value for a first performance metric associated with a first cell of the one or more cells, wherein the first value is determined from a first measurement, select the first cell for a first communication based on the first value, determine first location information associated with the UE, determine, following the first measurement and using the first location information, that the UE is stationary, and delay, in response to the determination that the UE is stationary, a second measurement of the first performance metric. In various alternate embodiments, different measurement types may be used for mobility and channel quality determinations. In further embodiments, only measurements for unused channels may be delayed.
