Abstract
Performing measurement of a first RAT while connected to a second RAT. The UE may initially communicate with a base station of the second RAT. While maintaining a connection to the base station of the first RAT, the UE may perform base station measurement of the first RAT (e.g., using a single radio of the UE). However, the measurement of the first RAT may be influenced by various factors, such as signal quality metrics of the second RAT. For example, if signal quality metrics are high for the second RAT, measurement of the first RAT may not be desirable, e.g., for battery life reasons.
