Abstract: An apparatus and system of enabling reference signal measurements in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) system are described. The UE provides capability information that indicates a maximum number of synchronization signal block (SSB)-based measurement timing configurations (SMTCs) simultaneously supported by the UE for measurement of reference signals from cells in the NTN system and receives SMTCs based on the capability information and a real time estimate of timing differences among the cells. The UE sends/receives data based on the SMTCs and whether the UE supports simultaneous data communication and measurement. Broadcast system information contains a flag that indicates which of dynamic and semi-static configuration is used, the maximum SMTC's dependent on the flag value. Radio resource control (RRC) signalling is used to send sets of SMTCs that have different offsets. Different sets are activated using dynamic signaling according to real time estimates of the timing differences.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for use of a pre-configured gap are described. The network signals a preconfigured gap via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and follows a bandwidth part (BWP) to activate/deactivate the gap upon BWP switching. The RRC signaling indicates whether a measurement gap is a pre-configured gap. Pre-configured frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 gaps are able to be configured simultaneously using RRC signaling. Similarly, legacy gaps and pre-configured gaps are able to be configured simultaneously using RRC signaling. The pre-configured gap may be autonomously or implicitly activated triggered by downlink control information (DCI) or timer-based BWP switching—in some cases under predetermined network conditions.
