FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method for configuring and using measurement gap structures performed at a network node of a wireless communication network comprises selecting (410) a measurement gap structure for a mobile terminal use having a sequence of measurement gap packets, so that the measurement gap packets are separated by a repetition period, and each measurement gap packet contains two or more measurement gaps, and transmitting (420) signals about the structure of the measurement gap to the mobile terminal. The repetition period is selected in such a way that the repetition period of the measurement gap structure and the length of the cycle of the long DRX are interconnected through an integer N power.
EFFECT: reducing the costs associated with automatic gain control for the first measurement in the packet.
