METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING MEASUREMENT GAPS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H04W24/10 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: user equipment (UE) is provided in a wireless communication system and one or more sets of rules are provided for the UE to perform processing during a measurement gap. In certain aspects, measurement in the gap can be ignored. In certain aspects, handling is maintained and performed later in time, and gap measurements are carried out. Depending on the system, measurements carried out during gaps, can depend on UE realisation, wherein the UE determines whether to carry out measurement for said gap. In certain aspects, the UE may not carry out measurement during the gap, thereby providing the priority to another handling, such as RACH handling. Depending on the type of the required handling (DL-SCH, UL-SCH, TTI bundling, RACH or SR), the UE may store requests and handle measurement during the gap or ignore measurement in the gap as if there were no gaps.

EFFECT: high mobility.
