Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with scheduling of measurement gaps and on-duration intervals for a wireless station are described. According to one embodiment, a controller for controlling a station that wirelessly communicates with a base station is disclosed. The station is within a wireless range of the base station and one or more neighboring stations. The controller includes a scheduling logic configured to control the station, while the station is in an idle mode, to receive control information from the base station by scheduling a period of time for an on-duration interval. The scheduling logic is configured to control the station to listen to the one or more neighboring stations by scheduling a period of time for a measurement gap. The measurement gap is scheduled to avoid overlapping with the on-duration interval.
