Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is configured to adaptively switch between different techniques/methods for performing inter-frequency or inter-radio access technology measurement. The UE may use one technique for measurement based on certain communication conditions and in response to a change in communication conditions may switch to another measurement technique. Different techniques may be used such as using a network configured communication gap, using a connected discontinuous reception cycle off-period for measurement, or other techniques.
