Abstract
Solutions are disclosed that provide intelligent adaptive measurement gaps for low mobility user equipment (UEs), such as home internet access points. Because low mobility (stationary use) UE do not move, or move only infrequently, the frequency for of handovers to neighboring cells is reduced, lowering the urgency of measuring signal reception from neighboring cells. A wireless network determines that a first UE is associated with a stationary use, and that a second UE is not. The network transmits a first radio resource control (RRC) message specifying a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) and an indication to skip at least one measurement gap, to the first UE, and transmits a second RRC message specifying the MGRP, without an indication to skip a measurement gap, to the second UE. In some examples, the MGRP is indicated as having one of four values: 20 milliseconds (ms), 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.
