Abstract:
1. A method in a base station for allocating measurement gaps within a Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP) to User Equipments (UEs) currently being served by said base station, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of possible measurement gaps within said MGRP with regards to their starting point and duration in time within said MGRP; determining, for said identified measurement gaps, a number of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes that would be affected due to said identified measurement gaps with regards to a starting point in time of said identified measurement gaps during said MGRP; ranking said identified measurement gaps depending on the number of HARQ processes that would be affected during said MGRP; and allocating said identified measurement gaps to said UEs based on said ranking.
