Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry of a wireless communication device connected to a wireless network. Processing circuitry in the wireless communication device establishes a connection to a access network subsystem of the wireless network using a plurality of radio frequency carriers and provides an indication of wireless circuitry included therein. The wireless network provides a measurement gap configuration, and the wireless communication device suspends communication on at least one carrier and measures signals from one or more additional access network subsystems during a measurement gap time period. The wireless communication device provides a measurement report to the access network subsystem based at least in part on measured signals. In an embodiment, the wireless communication device also receives downlink communication from the wireless network during at least a portion of the measurement gap time period.
