Abstract
An efficient way is described for a user equipment, camping on a cell of a first radio access technology, RAT, to perform measurements on the transmissions from a neighboring radio cell of a different RAT. Recurrent time gaps that are available for making the measurements are not correlated or synchronized with the recurrent times at which the desired information are transmitted by the transmitter in the second RAT. Therefore, mapping is performed of the time gaps onto the interval at which the desired information is transmitted. The mapping continues until a time interval is covered that ensures that the information in the recurring desired block of information can be obtained. During the mapping of the measurement gaps, only those time intervals that have not already been covered by the mapping are used for obtaining the desired information.
