Claim 14:
15. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
transmit, to a source relay, a candidate relay configuration including information of candidate relays and a relay measurement configuration comprising a measurement gap configuration indicating that a measurement gap is utilized for reference signals from candidate relays that are not within a bandwidth configured for communication between a user equipment (UE) and the source relay;
