Abstract

A radio network node, such as a gNodeB (gNB), a User Equipment (UE) and a method are provided for configuring the UE camping on a cell served by the radio network node for Synchronization Signal (SS) Blocks based cell re-selection measurements for RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states. The method includes providing information to the UE, including configuration parameters for a measurement window, the configuration parameters defining a window periodicity, offset and duration, for configuring the UE for the SS Blocks based cell re-selection measurements for RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states. The radio network node uses Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to convey the information to the UE prior to or in conjunction with switching the UE from RRC_CONNECTED state to RRC_INACTIVE or RRC_IDLE state and uses a RRCConnectionRelease message to convey the information to the UE.
