Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
establishing a wireless link with a serving cell;
receiving, from the serving cell, configuration information;
determining, based on the configuration information:
a first number of intra-frequency measurement layers; and
a second number of inter-frequency measurement layers;

selecting, based on at least the first number of intra-frequency measurement layers and the second number of inter-frequency measurement layers, a first measurement period to apply for inter-frequency layer 1 (L1) measurement on a first neighbor cell, wherein the first measurement period comprises whichever is larger between a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) and a neighbor cell reference signal periodicity, wherein the neighbor cell reference signal periodicity is indicated by the configuration information;
receiving, from the first neighbor cell, at least one reference signal;
performing at least one L1 measurement of the at least one reference signal applying the first measurement period for inter-frequency L1 measurement on the first neighbor cell; and
transmitting, to the serving cell, a report of the at least one L1 measurement.
