Abstract
Techniques discussed herein facilitate Base Station (BS) enhancements to measurement by a RRC Connected mode User Equipment (UE) for configuration of Carrier Aggregation (CA) and/or Dual Connectivity (DC). One example embodiment comprises a BS device comprising a processor configured to perform operations comprising: receiving a UE Assistance Information message comprising a measurement request; transmitting a first RRCReconfiguration message comprising a measConfig IE; receiving a MeasurementReport message from a UE that indicates one or more measurements on one or more sets of frequencies, wherein the one or more sets of frequencies comprise a set of serving frequencies for one of a serving cell or the neighboring cell and a set of non-serving frequencies for the UE, wherein the set of non-serving frequencies are associated with the neighboring cell; and transmitting a second RRCReconfiguration message that configures the UE with at least one set of the one or more sets of frequencies.
