    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for configuring carriers and/or performing reference signal measurements. In one example implementation, the method may include a user equipment (UE) receiving carrier configuration information and carrier type information from a network node, the carrier type information including an indication whether a carrier is an offloading carrier; determining whether one or more offloading conditions to perform offloading measurements are satisfied; and performing the offloading measurements in response to determining that the one or more offloading conditions are satisfied. In an additional example implementation, the method may include a network node transmitting carrier configuration information and carrier type information to a user equipment (UE) and receiving offloading and/or mobility measurements from the user equipment (UE), the off-loading and/or mobility measurements generated at the user equipment (UE) based on the carrier configuration information and carrier type.

    Abstract: A radio access node such as a master eNB determines that a UE can support operation on a given radio band combination comprising a first radio band operating with a first RAT such as E-UTRA and a second radio band operating with a second RAT such as 5G. The node uses a performance capability of the UE to obtain at least a second configuration for the second radio band operating with the second RAT, then configures the UE with the interworking configuration that comprising a first configuration to operate on the first band with the first RAT and a second configuration to operate on the second band with the second RAT. The node may determines that the UE can support such operation from a UE message identifying the band combination and carrying an indicator of the performance capability of the UE on at least the second RAT.
