Patent ID: 8837433

Claim:
A method of wireless communication, comprising: receiving a configuration from a serving cell to perform a measurement during a measurement gap of a unicast service while in a connected mode; and determining whether to refrain from leaving the serving cell on a first frequency and performing the measurement on a second frequency of a neighboring cell in order to receive multicast/broadcast content associated with a multicast/broadcast service during the measurement gap, wherein the determination whether to refrain from leaving the serving cell and performing the measurement is based on a signal quality of the serving cell, and an overlap of the measurement gap and a reception of at least one of control/system information or traffic data of the multicast/broadcast content, and wherein when the reception of the control/system information overlaps with the measurement gap and the signal quality is greater than a first threshold and less than or equal to a second threshold, the method further comprises: refraining from leaving the serving cell and performing the measurement during the measurement gap; and receiving the control/system information during the measurement gap.
