Title: Techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with bandwidth part hopping patterns

Description:
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY 
     The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with bandwidth part (BWP) hopping patterns. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). 
     A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE). Some wireless communications systems may support reduced capability devices. Reduced capability devices (e.g., reduced capability UEs) may, in some cases, communicate on reduced bandwidths. 
     SUMMARY 
     The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with bandwidth part (BWP) hopping patterns. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include resource blocks (RBs) having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE. In such cases, the UE may transmit control signaling to a base station that indicates measurement gap information for a set of frequency spectrum bands. In some examples, the control signaling may indicate whether a measurement gap is applicable (e.g., needed) for performing one or more signal measurements. In such examples, the indication may be based on the one or more hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of the one or more signals to be measured. As a result, the indication of the measurement gaps requested for various BWP hopping patterns may provide for enhanced measurement procedures for the UE. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP, or an association between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern, or any combination thereof. In such examples, the UE may perform measurements on one or more signals based on the determined measurement gap pattern. The association between the active BWP, the BWP hopping pattern, the measurement gap pattern, or any combination thereof, may enable a relatively greater number of measurement gap patterns for performing measurements by the UE for BWP hopping, while also providing efficient techniques for identifying measurement gap patterns. The present disclosure may therefore promote higher reliability and lower latency wireless communications, among other benefits.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Wireless communications systems may support communication links between wireless devices (e.g., such as a base station and a user equipment (UE)), such that wireless devices may communicate in various radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, a base station and a UE may operate over a carrier bandwidth. In some cases, a carrier bandwidth may be divided into multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) that may be used for communication with a UE. Each BWP may include a contiguous set of resource blocks (RBs) on a carrier bandwidth and different BWPs may or may not be contiguous in frequency. For example, a BWP may be adjacent in frequency to another BWP or a BWP may have gaps or guard bands to adjacent BWPs. In some cases, BWPs may be configured with different properties (e.g., protocol features, numerologies, modulation schemes, physical channels). Further, a carrier may define one or more BWPs. For example, a New Radio (NR) carrier may define a number of BWPs (e.g., four or more BWPs), and each BWP may have a defined bandwidth and set of properties. 
     Some wireless communications systems may support reduced capability devices (e.g., UEs), which may be referred to as RedCap devices, RedCap UEs, or some similar terminology. Such devices (e.g., smart wearable devices, industrial sensors, or video surveillance devices) may operate with one or more of a reduced transmit power, a reduced number of transmit or receive antennas, a reduced transmit or receive bandwidth, or a reduced computational complexity. As such, some reduced capability UEs may implement narrow BWPs (NBWPs) to reduce BWP bandwidth and support complexity reduction features. Here, a NBWP may refer to a BWP having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth. In some aspects, a NBWP may be referred to as a reduced BWP or some similar terminology. In some cases, a NBWP may have a bandwidth that is less than or equal to a bandwidth supported by some UEs (e.g., 100 megahertz (MHz)). In some cases, however, communication over narrower BWPs may be more susceptible to narrow band interference effects (e.g., interference due to narrower frequency constraints in which a UE may transmit or receive). Thus, to maintain network reliability and exploit frequency diversity gains, some UEs implementing NBWPs may further employ BWP frequency hopping (e.g., NBWP frequency hopping) techniques, such that a UE may switch from one BWP to another BWP while communicating with another device (e.g., a base station, another UE). 
     Some UEs implementing NBWPs (e.g., reduced capability devices) may perform one or more measurements (e.g., reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) measurements) on signals received from the serving cell and neighboring cells. In some cases, the signals may be transmitted by the network on intra-frequency cells or inter-frequency cells. In cases where the frequency-domain location of the signal is different from the BWP in which the UE operating (e.g., the active BWP), the UE may utilize a measurement gap to allow time to retune a radio chain for performing measurements in a different band. As such, the UE may determine whether to use a measurement gap for measuring the signals based on the frequency-domain location of the signal. In some examples, the UE may be configured with a single measurement gap pattern for measuring the signal and, in some cases, the single measurement gap pattern may not be suitable for hopping patterns configured for the UE. Additionally or alternatively, the relative distance (e.g., in the frequency-domain) between the signal and the active BWP may change as the UE performs NBWP frequency hopping. Accordingly, mechanisms that enable the UE to indicate whether a measurement gap is to be used (e.g., needed, required, relied on, expected, preferred) for performing one or more measurements may be desirable. 
     As described herein, techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWPs and/or BWP hopping patterns may be used to enhance communications efficiency. For example, a measurement gap pattern may be associated with a hopping pattern such that, when the hopping pattern used by a UE changes, the measurement gap pattern used by the UE may also change. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the measurement gap pattern may be associated with an active BWP (e.g., NBWP) in which the UE is operating, and when the active BWP changes, the measurement gap pattern may also change. In some examples (e.g., if no association is defined or if hopping is disabled), the UE may perform measurements according to one or more default measurement gap patterns that may, for example, correspond to performing measurements without a measurement gap. 
     As further described herein, a UE may indicate, in addition to a list of frequencies in which the UE may perform measurements without a measurement gap, a list of hopping patterns (or hop indices) associated with a respective BWP. In such cases, a UE may indicate which hop indices (e.g., of each hopping pattern) may be measured without a measurement gap. More specifically, the UE may transmit an information element (IE) to a base station that indicates whether a measurement gap is required for certain BWP hopping patterns, or hop indices, or both, for the UE to perform measurements (e.g., intra-frequency measurements) of signals (e.g., reference signals, synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), or the like). In some aspects, the UE may indicate a hop region (e.g., an aggregate of one or more hop indices) and, in such cases, a UE may measure SSBs without a measurement gap if the SSBs occur within the hop region and may measure SSBs with a measurement gap if the SSBs occur outside the hop region. 
     Particular aspects of the subject matter described herein may be implemented to realize one or more potential advantages associated with techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWPs and/or BWP hopping patterns. For example, the described techniques may support efficient techniques for determining measurement gap patterns based on associations, which may be achieved without increasing signaling overhead between a UE and base station. In addition, the signaling of whether a measurement gap is needed for different hopping patterns (e.g., via capability signaling) may enable improved intra- and inter-frequency measurement processes. Such techniques may result in relatively higher data rates, greater UE and network capacity, and greater spectral efficiency. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are also described in the context of a NBWP hopping configurations, measurement gap associations, and process flows that support techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  100  that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system  100  may include one or more base stations  105 , one or more UEs  115 , and a core network  130 . In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof. 
     The base stations  105  may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system  100  and may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. The base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links  125 . Each base station  105  may provide a coverage area  110  over which the UEs  115  and the base station  105  may establish one or more communication links  125 . The coverage area  110  may be an example of a geographic area over which a base station  105  and a UE  115  may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies. 
     The UEs  115  may be dispersed throughout a coverage area  110  of the wireless communications system  100 , and each UE  115  may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs  115  may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs  115  are illustrated in  FIG.  1   . The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115 , the base stations  105 , or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The base stations  105  may communicate with the core network  130 , or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations  105  may interface with the core network  130  through one or more backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations  105  may communicate with one another over the backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between base stations  105 ), or indirectly (e.g., via core network  130 ), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links  120  may be or include one or more wireless links. 
     One or more of the base stations  105  described herein may include or may be referred to by a person having ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or a giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology. 
     A UE  115  may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE  115  may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE  115  may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, among other examples. 
     The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115  that may sometimes act as relays as well as the base stations  105  and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links  125  over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links  125 . For example, a carrier used for a communication link  125  may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a BWP) that is operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system  100  may support communication with a UE  115  using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE  115  may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. 
     The communication links  125  shown in the wireless communications system  100  may include uplink transmissions from a UE  115  to a base station  105 , or downlink transmissions from a base station  105  to a UE  115 . Carriers may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode). 
     A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a “system bandwidth” of the carrier or the wireless communications system  100 . For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a number of determined bandwidths for carriers of a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communications system  100  (e.g., the base stations  105 , the UEs  115 , or both) may have hardware configurations that support communications over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communications over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may include base stations  105  or UEs  115  that support simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE  115  may be configured for operating over portions (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth. 
     Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE  115  receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE  115 . A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE  115 . 
     One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where a numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE  115  may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time and communications for the UE  115  may be restricted to one or more active BWPs. 
     The time intervals for the base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of T s =1/(Δf max ·N f ) seconds, where Δf max  may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f  may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023). 
     Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems  100 , a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N f ) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation. 
     A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system  100  and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system  100  may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)). 
     Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs  115 . For example, one or more of the UEs  115  may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs  115  and UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a specific UE  115 . 
     Each base station  105  may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, for example a macro cell, a small cell, a hot spot, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with a base station  105  (e.g., over a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing neighboring cells (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or others). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area  110  or a portion of a geographic coverage area  110  (e.g., a sector) over which the logical communication entity operates. Such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., a structure, a subset of structure) to larger areas depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station  105 . For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or exterior spaces between or overlapping with geographic coverage areas  110 , among other examples. 
     A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider supporting the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower-powered base station  105 , as compared with a macro cell, and a small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as macro cells. Small cells may provide unrestricted access to the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider or may provide restricted access to the UEs  115  having an association with the small cell (e.g., the UEs  115  in a closed subscriber group (CSG), the UEs  115  associated with users in a home or office). A base station  105  may support one or multiple cells and may also support communications over the one or more cells using one or multiple component carriers. 
     In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access for different types of devices. 
     In some examples, a base station  105  may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area  110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas  110  may be supported by the same base station  105 . In other examples, the overlapping geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations  105 . The wireless communications system  100  may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations  105  provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas  110  using the same or different radio access technologies. 
     Some UEs  115 , such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low cost or low complexity devices and may provide for automated communication between machines (e.g., via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with one another or a base station  105  without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that makes use of the information or presents the information to humans interacting with the application program. Some UEs  115  may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business charging. 
     Some UEs  115  may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception, but not transmission and reception simultaneously). In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for the UEs  115  include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs  115  may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., set of subcarriers or RBs) within a carrier, within a guard-band of a carrier, or outside of a carrier. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The UEs  115  may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more services such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs  115  over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link  135  (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs  115  utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105 . Other UEs  115  in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105  or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station  105 . In some examples, groups of the UEs  115  communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE  115  transmits to every other UE  115  in the group. In some examples, a base station  105  facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs  115  without the involvement of a base station  105 . 
     The core network  130  may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network  130  may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs  115  served by the base stations  105  associated with the core network  130 . User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services  150  for one or more network operators. The IP services  150  may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service. 
     Some of the network devices, such as a base station  105 , may include subcomponents such as an access network entity  140 , which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity  140  may communicate with the UEs  115  through one or more other access network transmission entities  145 , which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission/reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity  145  may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity  140  or base station  105  may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station  105 ). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may operate using one or more frequency bands, for example, in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. The UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs  115  located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, devices such as the base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples. 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station  105  or a UE  115  may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station  105  may be located in diverse geographic locations. A base station  105  may have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station  105  may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE  115 . Likewise, a UE  115  may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port. 
     Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station  105 , a UE  115 ) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating at particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation). 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data is received successfully. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is received correctly over a communication link  125 . HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the medium access control (MAC) layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received in a previous symbol in the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot, or according to some other time interval. 
     A base station  105  may provide a UE  115  with a measurement reporting configuration, for example, as part of a radio resource control (RRC) configuration. The measurement reporting configuration may include parameters related to which neighbor cells and frequencies the UE  115  should measure, criteria for sending measurement reports, intervals for transmission of measurement reports (e.g., measurement gaps), and other related information. In some cases, measurement reports may be triggered by events related to the channel conditions of the serving cells or the neighbor cells. For example, a first report (A1) may be triggered when the serving cell becomes better than a threshold; a second report may be triggered when the serving cell becomes worse than a threshold; a third report when a neighbor cell becomes better than the primary serving cell by an offset value; a fourth report when a neighbor cell becomes better than a threshold; a fifth report when a primary serving cell becomes worse than a threshold and a neighbor cell is simultaneously better than another (e.g., higher) threshold; a sixth report when a neighbor cell becomes better than a secondary serving cell by an offset value; a seventh report when a neighbor using a different radio access technology (RAT) becomes better than a threshold; and an eighth report when a primary serving cell becomes worse than a threshold and the inter-RAT neighbor becomes better than another threshold. In some cases, the UE  115  may wait for a timer interval known as time-to-trigger (TTT) to verify that the trigger condition persists before sending the report. Other reports may be sent periodically instead of being based on a trigger condition (e.g., every two seconds a UE  115  may transmit an indication of a transport block error rate). Other measurement reports may be configured for the UE  115 , where a measurement configuration may include one or more measurement objects for measurement by the UE  115 . In some cases, a UE  115  may measure SSBs, reference signal, or other types on signals on inter-frequency bands or intra-frequency bands. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may support one or more aspects of techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. For example, the UE  115  may receive signaling configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include RBs having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE  115 . In such cases, the UE  115  may transmit control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling, one or more information elements (IEs), or the like) to the base station  105  that indicates measurement gap information for a set of frequency spectrum bands. In some examples, the control signaling may indicate whether a measurement gap is applicable (e.g., needed) for performing one or more signal measurements. The indication may be based on the one or more hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of the signal for the one or more measurements. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may support techniques for determining measurement gap patterns for an active BWP (e.g., an active NBWP) based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP, or an association between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern, or any combination thereof. In such examples, a UE  115  may perform measurements on one or more signals based on the determined measurement gap pattern. The association between the active BWP, the BWP hopping pattern, the measurement gap pattern, or any combination thereof, may enable a relatively greater number of measurement gap patterns for performing measurements by the UE  115  for BWP hopping, while also providing efficient techniques for identifying measurement gap patterns. The present disclosure may therefore promote higher reliability and lower latency wireless communications, among other benefits. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  200  that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system  200  may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system  100 . For example, the wireless communications system  200  may include a base station  105 - a  and a UE  115 - a , which may be examples of the corresponding devices described with reference to  FIG.  1   . The base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a  may communicate via a communication link  205  (e.g., an uplink) and a communication link  210  (e.g., a downlink) in a geographic coverage area  110 - a , which may be an example of a geographic coverage area  110  described with reference to  FIG.  1   . In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may perform one or more signal measurements across one or more frequencies of a BWP (e.g., or multiple BWPs) used for communications between the UE  115 - a  and the base station  105 - a.    
     The wireless communications system  200  may support relatively reduced capability devices. For instance, the UE  115 - a  may support one or more complexity reduction features to reduce power consumption, such as relatively reduced bandwidth communications (e.g., relatively narrow bandwidth communications). In some cases, a relatively reduced capability may be associated with a form factor of the device, a design of the device, a configured function of the device, or the like. For example, suitable data rates for reduced capability devices (e.g., the UE  115 - a ) may be achieved with bandwidths less than 100 MHz). In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may support a bandwidth less than 100 MHz both during and after initial access. As such, the UE  115 - a  may operate in a NBWP to save power. Stated alternatively, to reduce the bandwidth, and thus to save power, the UE  115 - a  may operate in a relatively narrow (e.g., less than 100 MHz) bandwidth active BWP (e.g., a NBWP). 
     Due to the reduced bandwidth of an active BWP, it may be desirable to reduce narrow band interference effects and exploit (e.g., achieve) frequency diversity gains. For example, the UE  115 - a  may utilize NBWP frequency hopping techniques. In some cases, during NBWP frequency hopping, time and frequency resources within the BWP (e.g., the active NBWP) may be relative to a reference point within the BWP frequency hop that does not change. In other words, the UE  115 - a  may hop between one or more NBWPs within a carrier bandwidth (e.g., or across the carrier bandwidths) while performing wireless communications to improve diversity gain. The NBWPs also may be referred to as BWPs or frequency hops. NBWP frequency hopping is described in further detail elsewhere herein, including with reference to  FIG.  3   . In some cases, procedures for wireless communications may be transparent to frequency hopping between the NBWPs. Such procedures may include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) procedures, timers, and grants, among other examples. 
     The UE  115 - a  may hop between one or more frequency hops according to a NBWP hopping pattern. A NBWP hopping pattern may be referred to as a frequency hopping pattern or a hopping pattern. In some cases, one or more hopping patterns may be indicated to the UE  115 - a  (e.g., via control signaling) or, in some other case, one or more hopping patterns may be configured at the UE  115 - a . The hopping pattern may indicate (e.g., define) a duration of each frequency hop in the hopping pattern (e.g., a frequency hop duration), a periodicity associated with the frequency hops, one or more BWP resources, a gap period, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the frequency hop duration may be configured for the UE  115 - a  in accordance with one or more parameters, such as conditions of a channel between the UE  115 - a  and the base station  105 - a . The frequency hop duration may be the same or different for each frequency hop within a hopping pattern or across different hopping patterns. 
     The UE  115 - a  may perform measurements, such as reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement, reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurement, SINR measurement, or any combination thereof, on one or more signals (e.g., SSBs) transmitted from a serving cell (e.g., the base station  105 - a ) as well as from inter-frequency and intra-frequency neighboring cells (e.g., other base stations  105 , not shown). In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may utilize measurement gaps to identify and measure SSBs transmitted from inter-frequency and intra-frequency neighboring cells. In some examples, the network (e.g., the base station  105 - a  or another network entity) may configure the UE  115 - a  with a single measurement gap pattern, or a single measurement gap pattern per frequency range (e.g., a pattern for FR1 and a pattern for FR2), based on the capability of the UE. In some cases, the measurement gap pattern may be associated with a gap pattern identifier (e.g., ID) and may correspond to a measurement gap configuration. A measurement gap configuration may include a measurement gap length (MGL) as well as a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) as illustrated in the following Table 1:

     In some examples, however, a measurement gap pattern that may be suitable for one hopping pattern may not be suitable for one or more other hopping patterns configured for the UE  115 - a . In particular, some measurement gap patterns may not account for intra- or inter-frequency measurements that result from different BWPs associated with different hopping patterns. Additionally or alternatively, the network may dynamically change (e.g., reconfigure) the hopping pattern of the UE  115 - a  according to network conditions, channel conditions, or changes in measurements to be performed on signals transmitted from neighboring cells (e.g., due to changes in channel conditions). Therefore, it may be desirable for the UE  115 - a  to use a measurement gap pattern that is suitable for the hopping pattern actively used by the UE  115 - a . Stated alternatively, the network may increase resource utilization by configuring the UE  115 - a  with a suitable measurement gap pattern based on the hopping pattern of the UE  115 - a , such as when the UE  115 - a  is actively performing NBWP hopping. Accordingly, a different (e.g., separate) measurement gap pattern may be used for different NBWPs or different hopping patterns. 
     For example, the UE  115 - a  may receive signaling (e.g., a hopping pattern configuration  215 ) configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include RBs having a bandwidth that is less than or equal to a threshold bandwidth support by the UE  115 - a  (e.g., may be a NBWP). In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may determine a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP (e.g., an active NBWP) based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP, or between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern. In such examples the UE  115 - a  may perform measurements on one or more signals (e.g., one or more SSBs) based on the measurement gap pattern. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may perform inter-frequency or intra-frequency measurements without a measurement gap. For example, in some cases, the SSB may be contained in the active NBWP of the UE  115 - a  and, therefore, the UE  115 - a  may perform the SSB measurement without a measurement gap. Therefore, the UE  115 - a  may indicate to the base station  105 - a  whether a measurement gap may be applicable for performing measurements based on various hopping patterns. For example, the UE  115 - a  may receive signaling configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include RBs having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE  115 - a . In such cases, the UE  115 - a  may transmit control signaling, to the base station  105 - a , indicating measurement gap information (e.g., measurement gap information  220 ) for a set of frequency spectrum bands. In some examples, the control signaling may indicate whether a measurement gap may be applicable for performing one or more signal measurements (e.g., RSRP, RSRQ, or SINR). In such examples, the indication may be based on the one or more hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of the one or more signals (e.g., SSBs) to be measured. 
       FIG.  3    illustrates an example of a NBWP hopping configuration  300  that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The NBWP hopping configuration  300  may implement or may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system  100  or the wireless communications system  200 . For example, the NBWP hopping configuration  300  illustrates an example configuration of NBWPs (which may also be referred to as frequency hops) supported by a UE  115  for communications with a base station  105  or some other device or network entity. As such, the NBWP hopping configuration  300  may be an example of a NBWP hopping configuration. The UE  115  and the base station  105  may be examples of the corresponding devices described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . 
     The NBWPs illustrated in the NBWP hopping configuration  300  may be located at different frequencies in the carrier bandwidth. A UE (e.g., a UE  115 , not shown) may remain in a first NBWP for a time period (e.g., a frequency hop duration) before hopping to another set of frequency resources of another NBWP for a second time period. The UE  115  may continue to hop between NBWPs to improve frequency diversity gain. Each NBWP may include different time and frequency resources that may be relative to a reference point within the NBWP that may not change. For example, the frequency resources within a NBWP may be relative to a frequency reference point (e.g., a lowest frequency in the NBWP) or some other frequency reference point. The time resources within the NBWP may be relative to a time reference point (e.g., a starting time of the NBWP) or some other reference point in the time domain. 
     Each NBWP may be associated with a respective frequency hop duration. In some examples, the frequency hop duration for each NBWP may be the same and, in some other examples, each NBWP may be associated with a different frequency hop duration. The frequency hop duration for a NBWP may, in some cases, may be configured (e.g., signaled) to the UE  115 , or selected by the UE  115  in accordance with one or more parameters. For example, the UE  115  may select a frequency hop duration based on channel conditions associated with a channel between the UE  115  and a base station  105  (not shown). 
     The UE  115  may switch between NBWPs according to one or more random, pseudo-random, or fixed hopping patterns. The UE  115  may perform hopping during a gap period. The gap may provide for the UE  115  to perform radio frequency (RF) retuning to support the switch between frequencies (e.g., frequency hop). As described with reference to  FIG.  2   , the UE  115  may perform measurements of an SSB within one or more of the NBWPs. If the SSB to be measured by the UE  115  is scheduled outside of a NBWP in which the UE  115  currently receives data, the UE  115  may switch to a second NBWP that includes the SSB to perform the measurement. Therefore, in some cases, a gap period for the UE  115  to switch between NBWPs may occur during the measurement. 
     In some examples, the UE  115  may perform inter-frequency or intra-frequency measurements without a gap period. For example, the UE may perform intra-frequency measurements without a measurement gap if the SSB to be measured is within an active BWP of the UE  115 . That is, if the UE  115  receives data and the SSB within the active BWP, the UE  115  may receive data and the SSB on a same frequency hop. In another example, a UE  115  may perform intra-frequency measurement without a gap if the UE  115  transmits signaling including an IE (which may be referred to as an instruction element) for intra-frequency measurement. For example, the UE  115  may transmit and indication (e.g., no-gap) using a field of an IE (e.g., a gapindicationIntra field or a gapindication field within a NeedForGapsInfo IE), which indicates, for the UE  115 , the measurement gap requirement information for intra-frequency measurements (e.g., with measurement gaps, without measurement gaps). In yet another example, the UE may perform intra-frequency measurement without a gap if the SSB is contained within an active BWP (e.g., an active NBWP) of the UE  115  or if the active NBWP is an initial BWP. Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115  may perform inter-frequency measurement without a gap if the UE  115  indicates support for inter-frequency measurements without gaps and if the SSB is contained within the active BWP of the UE  115 . The UE  115  may indicate support for inter-frequency measurements without gaps by setting an indication in a field of an IE (e.g., interFrequencyConfig-NoGap or interFrequencyMeas-Nogap field within the IE). 
     In some examples, the UE  115  may indicate, to the base station  105 , one or more parameters (e.g., fields) associated with the measurement gap, for instance via an IE (e.g., via a NeedForGapsConfig or NeedForGapsInfo IE). For example, the UE  115 - a  may indicate a serving cell identifier (e.g., servCellId) associated with the SSB to be measured (e.g., the SSB associated with the initial downlink BWP). In some cases, the UE  115  may further indicate whether the associated SSBs may be measured with or without a gap via an IE field, such as a gapindicationIntra field. In another example, the UE  115  may indicate a target band identifier (e.g., band) associated with the target band (e.g., a target NR band) to be measured. In some cases, the UE  115  may further indicate whether SSBs associated with the target band identifier may be measured without a gap via an IE field, such as gapindication. 
     The UE  115  may determine whether to indicate the applicability of a measurement gap based on one or more parameters. For example, the UE may determine whether to indicate no-gap via the intraFreq-needForGap field for intra-frequency measurement or via the interFrequencyConfig-NoGap field for inter-frequency measurements based on, among other parameters, whether the UE may perform the measurement without radio frequency retuning. In some cases, the UE  115  may indicate whether a measurement gap is to be used (e.g., needed, required, or preferred) for performing one or more measurements based on the implementation of the UE  115  and the distance (e.g., in frequency) between the SSB to be measured and the active BWP (e.g., active NBWP) of the UE  115 . As such, the UE  115  may indicate measurement gap information which may include a list of frequencies or frequency bands for which a measurement gap may not be applicable (e.g., needed, required, or preferred). In some cases, the UE  115  may indicate measurement gap information via an IE, such as via a NeedForGapsBandlist field of an IE. 
     However, the relative distance (e.g., in the frequency-domain) between the SSB to be measured and the active NBWP of the UE  115  may change as the UE  115  performs NBWP frequency hopping. Therefore, in some cases, an intra-frequency carrier or an inter-frequency carrier containing an SSB configured for measurement may lie within a short frequency separation from the active NBWP and, in some other cases, the intra-frequency carrier or the inter-frequency carrier may not lie within a short frequency separation from the active NBWP. Accordingly, the UE  115  may indicate that a measurement gap may not be applicable for frequencies or frequency bands in which a measurement gap may be applicable. Similarly the UE  115  may refrain from indicating that a measurement gap may not be applicable for frequencies or frequency bands in which a measurement gap may not be applicable. Stated alternatively, the UE  115  may not indicate no-gap via the intraFreq-needForGap IE (e.g., for intra-frequency measurements) or may not set the interFrequencyMeas-Nogap to interFrequencyConfig-NoGap (e.g., for inter-frequency measurements) for one or more frequencies or one or more frequency bands in which measurements may be performed without a gap. 
     Therefore, it may be desirable to define criteria for determining whether the UE  115  (e.g., a UE operating with NBWP hopping) may indicate no-gap via the intraFreq-needForGap field in the case of intra-frequency measurements and set the interFrequencyMeas-Nogap-IE to InterFrequencyConfig-NoGap in the case of inter-frequency measurements. For example, the UE  115  may indicate, within an IE, one or more identifiers associated with a hopping pattern in which a measurement gap may not be applicable (e.g., needed). In some cases, the identifiers may include a hopping pattern identifier (e.g., nbwp-HoppingPatternId), a hop index identifier (e.g., nbwp-HopIndex), or a hop region identifier (e.g., nbwp-HopRegion). In some instances, one or more hop index identifiers and one or more hop region identifiers may be indicated via an IE. For example, a hop index list IE (e.g., the NBWPHopIndexList) and a hop region list in the IE (e.g., the NBWPHopRegionList) may be used to indicate one or more hop index identifiers and one or more hop region identifiers, respectively. In some cases, the UE  115  may indicate the one or more identifiers (e.g., or the one or more lists of identifiers) with the list of frequencies or frequency bands in the measurement gap information. Stated alternatively, the UE  115  may indicate no-gap for one or more hopping patterns, one or more indices, or one or more hop regions with a one-to-may mapping via an IE, such as within a NB WPHoppingPatternIDList field. In some examples, a hop region may refer to a combination of multiple hop indices. In some cases, the UE  115  may use the frequency separation (e.g., a separation frequency) between the hops to determine whether a measurement gap may be applicable. It is to be understood that the names of IEs described herein may change based on implementation of one or more devices (e.g., the UE  115 , the base station  105 , or both), and the examples described herein should not be considered limiting to the scope covered by the claims or the disclosure. 
     Thus, the UE  115  and the base station  105  may support techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. For example, the UE  115  may transmit control signaling, to the base station  105 , indicating (e.g., for a set of frequencies or frequency bands) whether a measurement gap may be applicable for performing one or more signal measurements. Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115  may determine a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP, or between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern. The present disclosure may therefore promote higher reliability and lower latency wireless communications, among other benefits. 
       FIG.  4    illustrates an example of measurement gap associations  400  that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The measurement gap associations  400  may implement or may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications systems  100  and  200 . For example, systems that support the mapping illustrated by the measurement gap associations  400  may be implemented by a base station  105  and a UE  115 , which may be examples of the corresponding devices described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . Further, systems which support the mapping illustrated by the measurement gap associations  400  may include one or more BWPs  405 , and one or more hopping patterns  410 , and one or more measurement gap patterns  415  (e.g., MGPs). A measurement gap pattern  415 , a hopping pattern  410 , and a BWP  405 , may be examples of the corresponding aspects described throughout the application, including with reference to  FIGS.  2  and  3   . 
     As illustrated in the example of  FIG.  4   , one or more measurement gap patterns  415  (e.g., measurement gap patterns  415 - a  through  415 - k ) may be associated with one or more BWPs  405  (e.g., BWP  405 - a , BWP  405 - b ), one or more hopping patterns  410  (e.g., hopping patterns  410 - a  through  410 - c ), one or more frequency hop durations, or a combination thereof. For example, a measurement gap pattern  415 - a  may be associated with a hopping pattern  410 - a  and a BWP  405 - a  via an association  420 - a . In some cases, one or more associations  420  may be defined via a NBWP identifier (e.g., NBWP id) and a hopping pattern identifier (e.g., HoppingPattern_id). That is, one or more IE fields, such as NBWP id and HoppingPattern_id, may be used to determine a measurement gap pattern identifier (e.g., MGPattern_id) for a UE (e.g., the UE  115 ). In some examples, such an association (e.g., one or more associations  420 ) may trigger the measurement gap to change when the active BWP of the UE  115  changes, or the hopping pattern actively used by the UE changes. 
     For example, the active NBWP of the UE  115  may be the BWP  405 - a . In such an example, the UE  115  may be performing NBWP hopping according to the hopping pattern  410 - a  and may be performing SSB-based measurements according to the measurement gap pattern  415 - a . However, in some cases, the active NBWP of the UE  115 - a  may change from the BWP  405 - a  to a different BWP (e.g., a BWP  405 - b ). In such cases, an association between the measurement gap pattern  415 - a  and the BWP  405 - a  may not be defined and, as such, the measurement gap pattern of the UE  115  may change. For instance, measurement gap pattern  415 - c  may be associated with the BWP  405 - b  and the hopping pattern  410 - a  in accordance with association  420 - d , and the UE  115  may accordingly use the measurement gap pattern  415 - c  when the BWP  405 - a  is modified to the BWP  405 - b.    
     In some other examples, the hopping pattern  410  for a BWP  405  may be modified. As an example, when an active BWP  405  of the UE  115  is the BWP  405 - a , the hopping pattern  410 - a  may be modified to the hopping pattern  410 - b  or the hopping pattern  410 - c . Similarly, BWP  405 - b  may be associated with hopping patterns  410 - a ,  410 - b , and/or  410 - c  (and/or associated with measurement gap patterns  415 ) via respective associations  420 . In some cases, the use of the BWP  405 - a  as the active BWP and the configured hopping pattern  410 - b  may enable a UE  115  to determine, via association  420 - b , that measurement gap pattern  415 - k  may be used for measurements. In another example, the use of the BWP  405 - b  as the active BWP and the use of hopping pattern  410 - c , may enable the UE  115  to use measurement gap pattern  415 -I (e.g., via association  420 - e ) for one or more measurements. 
     Additionally or alternatively, in the case where hopping pattern  410 - c  is configured when the BWP  405 - a  is the active BWP, there may be no defined association between the BWP  405 , the hopping pattern  410 , and a measurement gap pattern. In such examples, if an association between a measurement gap pattern and a BWP (e.g., or a measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern) is not defined, a default measurement gap pattern may be used. Stated alternatively, a default pattern may be used by the UE  115  in the absence of an association between a measurement gap and a BWP or a hopping pattern. For instance, a different default measurement gap pattern may be configured for each NBWP (e.g., each BWP  405 ). 
     In some other examples, the UE  115  may use a default measurement gap pattern when a hopping pattern is disabled. For instance, a hopping pattern (e.g., a hopping pattern  411 ) may be associated (e.g., via an association  421 ) with disabled NBWP hopping and the associated measurement gap pattern (e.g., a measurement gap pattern  416 ) may be a default measurement gap pattern. 
     In some other examples, a measurement gap identifier may indicate that a measurement gap pattern excludes measurement gaps. That is, a measurement gap identifier (e.g., MGPattern_id) corresponding to a measurement gap pattern (e.g., one or more measurement gap patterns  415 ) may be associated with the lack of a measurement gap pattern or may indicate that a measurement gap may not be applicable (e.g., may indicate no measurement gap). Stated alternatively, a single measurement gap identifier may be configured as no-gap. In some cases, a UE  115  may be configured to refrain from using a measurement gap (e.g., may be configured with no-gap) if an association between a measurement gap pattern and a NBWP or an association between a measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern is not defined. In some other cases, one or more association (e.g., one or more associations  420 ) may be configured as no-gap (e.g., may correspond to no measurement gap pattern). Accordingly, the UE  115  may refrain from using a measurement gap pattern for such associations. Example techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns are described in further detail elsewhere herein, including with reference to  FIGS.  5  and  6   . 
       FIG.  5    illustrates an example of a process flow  500  in a system that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The process flow  500  may implement or be implemented by one or more aspects of the wireless communications system  100  and the wireless communications system  200 . For example, the process flow  500  may include a UE  115 - b  and a base station  105 - b , which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . The process flow  500  may be implemented by the UE  115 - b , the base station  105 - b , or both. In the following description of the process flow  500 , operations between the UE  115 - b  and the base station  105 - b  may occur in a different order or at different times than as shown. Some operations may also be omitted from the process flow  500 , and other operations may be added to the process flow  500 . 
     In some examples, the UE  115 - b , the base station  105 - b , or both, may be configured to support techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. For example, at  505 , the UE  115 - b  a may receive signaling, from the base station  105 - b , configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include RBs having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE  115 - b  (e.g., may be a NBWP). 
     At  510 , the UE  115 - b  may identify hopping pattern identifiers (e.g., one or more of HoppingPattern_id) for each hopping pattern of the one or more hopping patterns. Then, the UE  115 - b  may optionally generate a hopping pattern identifier list (e.g., for the NBWPHoppingPatternIDList field of an IE). The hopping pattern identifier list may include hopping pattern identifiers for each hopping pattern. 
     Additionally or alternatively, at  515 , the UE  115 - b  may identify one or more hop region identifiers that correspond to respective frequency-domain regions that include hops associated with the one or more hopping patterns. In some examples, each frequency-domain region includes indices associated with one or more frequency hops. Then, the UE  115 - b  may optionally generate a hop region list (e.g., for the NBWPHopRegionList field of an IE). 
     At  520 , the UE  115 - b  may transmit, and the base station  105 - b  may receive, control signaling indicating measurement gap information for a set of frequency spectrum bands. In some examples, the control signaling may indicate whether a measurement gap is applicable for performing one or more signal measurements. In such examples, the indication may be based on the one or more hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of the one or more signals to be measured. In some cases, the measurement gap information may include an indication of the hopping pattern identifier list (e.g., may include the NB WPHoppingPatternIDList). In other examples, the measurement gap information may include an indication of the hop region list (e.g., may include the NBWPHopRegionList). 
       FIG.  6    illustrates an example of a process flow  600  in a system that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The process flow  600  may implement or be implemented by one or more aspects of the wireless communications system  100  and the wireless communications system  200 . For example, the process flow  600  may include a UE  115 - c  and a base station  105 - c , which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . The process flow  600  may be implemented by the UE  115 - c , the base station  105 - c , or both. In the following description of the process flow  600 , operations between the UE  115 - c  and the base station  105 - c , may occur in a different order or at different times than as shown. Some operations may also be omitted from the process flow  600 , and other operations may be added to the process flow  600 . 
     In some examples, the UE  115 - c , the base station  105 - c , or both, may be configured to support techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns. For example, at  605 , the UE  115 - c  may receive signaling (e.g., from the base station  105 - c ) configuring one or more hopping patterns for multiple BWPs. In some cases, each BWP may include RBs having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE  115 - c  (e.g., each BWP may be a NBWP). Then, at  610 , the UE  115 - c  may determine a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP (e.g., active NBWP), or between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern. 
     At  615 , the UE  115 - c  may perform measurements on one or more signals based on the measurement gap pattern. As an example, the UE  115 - c  may determine an association between a first BWP and a first measurement gap pattern, and the UE  115 - c  may perform the measurements using the first measurement gap pattern. In other examples, an active BWP that the UE  115 - c  is configured with may be modified (e.g., based on signaling (e.g., DCI) from the base station  105 - c ) to a second, different BWP. In such cases, the UE  115 - c  may determine an association between the second BWP and a second measurement gap pattern that is different from the first measurement gap pattern. As a result, the UE  115 - c  may perform the measurements on the one or more signals using the second measurement gap pattern (e.g., after the BWP has changed). In other examples, a hopping pattern for an active BWP may be disabled (e.g., via the signaling received by the UE  115 - c  at  605  or via other signaling received from the base station  105 - c ), and the UE  115 - c  may use a default (e.g., predetermined, preconfigured) measurement gap pattern for the measurements. Here, the default measurement gap pattern may be different for each active BWP, or the default measurement gap pattern may be associated with a hopping pattern that is used to disable the hopping. In some aspects, the association between a BWP and a measurement gap pattern may additionally or alternatively be based on a hopping pattern associated with the active BWP. 
       FIG.  7    shows a block diagram  700  of a device  705  that supports techniques for indicating measurement gaps and associating measurement gap patterns with BWP hopping patterns in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure.

The communications manager  720  may be configured as or otherwise support a means for transmitting, to a base station (e.g., a base station  105 ), control signaling indicating measurement gap information for a set of one or more radio frequency spectrum bands, where the control signaling indicates whether a measurement gap is applicable for performing one or more measurements of a signal based on the one or more hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of the signal for the one or more measurements.

     By including or configuring the communications manager  720  in accordance with examples as described herein, the device  705  (e.g., a processor controlling or otherwise coupled to the receiver  710 , the transmitter  715 , the communications manager  720 , or a combination thereof) may support techniques for reduced processing, reduced power consumption, and more efficient utilization of communication resources.

Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on.” 
     The term “determine” or “determining” encompasses a wide variety of actions and, therefore, “determining” can include calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (such as via looking up in a table, a database or another data structure), ascertaining and the like. Also, “determining” can include receiving (such as receiving information), accessing (such as accessing data in a memory) and the like. Also, “determining” can include resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing and other such similar actions. 
     In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label. Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. If just the first reference label is used in the specification, the description is applicable to any one of the similar components having the same first reference label irrespective of the second reference label, or other subsequent reference label. 
     The description set forth herein, in connection with the appended drawings, describes example configurations and does not represent all the examples that may be implemented or that are within the scope of the claims. The term “example” used herein means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration,” and not “preferred” or “advantageous over other examples.” The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing an understanding of the described techniques. These techniques, however, may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples. 
     The description herein is provided to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make or use the disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosure will be apparent to a person having ordinary skill in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
