Abstract
In a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network, a generation node B (gNB) determines parameters for a Network Controlled Small Gap (NCSG) to reduce and/or eliminate interruptions at a user equipment (UE) for use when the UE is transitioning to a new target frequency for measurements or when the UE is switching or transiting between bandwidth parts (BWPs). The NCSG may be configured to align with one or more fundamental parameters of a legacy measurement gap (MG) pattern to reduce the interruptions.
