METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS IN A NEW RADIO NETWORK

A method performed in a User Equipment, UE, in a New Radio, NR, network, includes reporting to a network node, a capability indicating whether the UE supports Network Controlled Small Gap, NCSG, using a bit indicator together with Measurement Gap, MG patterns supported by the UE; or reporting, to the network node, NCSG patterns or one or more mandatory NCSG patterns using a number of bits; receiving a request message from the network node for performing a transformation from a current configured MG pattern to a corresponding NCSG pattern or from a current configured NCSG pattern to a corresponding MG pattern; determining parameters of the corresponding NCSG pattern or the MG pattern based on a mapping rule between MG patterns and NCSG patterns or from indication information received from the network node and switching to the corresponding NCSG pattern or the MG pattern for performing a measurement.
