A method at a wireless device configured for operation in a wireless communication network that supports multi-connectivity operation where the wireless device has at least two multi-connectivity connections with the network, and where each connection corresponds to a different cell group, CG, in the network, said method comprising: determining that system information is to be acquired for a target cell; determining that asymmetrical blanking is to be applied by the wireless device to two or more connections of the at least two multi-connectivity connections, in association with acquiring the system information; and applying asymmetrical blanking to the two or more connections, according to an asymmetrical blanking configuration, wherein the two or more connections comprise a first CG connection with a first CG and a second CG connection with a second CG and wherein the step of applying asymmetrical blanking to the two or more connections comprises accounting for a timing misalignment between signals received at the wireless device on the first and second CG connections by: applying misaligned measurement gaps autonomously by the wireless device, to the first and second CG connections, for acquiring the system information; and transmitting from the wireless device a greater or lesser number of acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, ACK/NACK, signals on one of the first and second CG connections as compared to the other one of the first and second CG connections, while acquiring the system information for the target cell. determining that system information is to be acquired for a target cell; determining that asymmetrical blanking is to be applied by the wireless device to two or more connections of the at least two multi-connectivity connections, in association with acquiring the system information; and applying asymmetrical blanking to the two or more connections, according to an asymmetrical blanking configuration, wherein the two or more connections comprise a first CG connection with a first CG and a second CG connection with a second CG and wherein the step of applying asymmetrical blanking to the two or more connections comprises accounting for a timing misalignment between signals received at the wireless device on the first and second CG connections by: applying misaligned measurement gaps autonomously by the wireless device, to the first and second CG connections, for acquiring the system information; and transmitting from the wireless device a greater or lesser number of acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, ACK/NACK, signals on one of the first and second CG connections as compared to the other one of the first and second CG connections, while acquiring the system information for the target cell. applying misaligned measurement gaps autonomously by the wireless device, to the first and second CG connections, for acquiring the system information; and transmitting from the wireless device a greater or lesser number of acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, ACK/NACK, signals on one of the first and second CG connections as compared to the other one of the first and second CG connections, while acquiring the system information for the target cell.
