Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus of an evolved NodeB (eNB), comprising:
radio frequency (RF) circuitry configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE); and
one or more baseband processors communicatively coupled to the RF circuitry configured to perform operations, comprising:
transmitting measurement gap configuration information including a measurement gap configuration information element MeasGapConfig to configure a network controlled small gap (NCSG) pattern for the UE, wherein the UE requires an NCSG to prevent interruption and the UE is configured with a primary secondary cell (PSCELL), wherein when there is no measurement gap configured among a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) subframes, the NCSG pattern comprises a single NCSG pattern with a constant repetition period per serving carrier, wherein the NCSG pattern is based on a visible interruption length before measurement (VIL1) parameter, a measurement length during which there is no gap (ML) parameter, a visible interruption length after measurement (VIL2) and a visible interruption period (VIRP) parameter.
