Abstract
A method a wireless communication device and a corresponding method for a network node of a cellular communication system are disclosed. The network node and the wireless communication device are configured to communicate with each other according to an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol having a requirement that a number of time units between reception of an ARQ packet and transmission of an associated response message is smaller than a maximum response time. According to the methods, the wireless communication device transmits at least one measurement gap adaptation signal to the network node. The network node determines a measurement gap configuration of the wireless communication device based on the measurement gap adaptation signal, wherein measurement gaps of the measurement gap configuration have a length smaller than the maximum response time. The network node transmits an indication of the measurement gap configuration to the wireless communication device, which uses the measurement gap configuration to perform measurements. Corresponding computer program product, arrangements, network node and wireless communication device are also disclosed.
