23. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a memory; and a processor configured to:
send a measurement gap request message associated with a millimeter wave (mmW) measurement, wherein the measurement gap request message includes a measurement gap requirement, and wherein the measurement gap requirement relates to a capability associated with the WTRU or a measurement status associated with the WTRU;
receive a first measurement gap pattern and a second measurement gap pattern, wherein the first measurement gap pattern is associated with a first activity and the second measurement gap pattern is associated with a second activity, and wherein the first measurement gap pattern and the second measurement gap pattern occur in a time period;
perform a measurement associated with a mmW serving cell in accordance with the first measurement gap pattern; and
perform a measurement associated with a first mmW neighbor cell in accordance with the second measurement gap pattern.
24. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein the first activity includes a wide beam measurement and the second activity includes a narrow beam measurement, wherein the wide beam measurement and the narrow beam measurement are associated with the mmW serving cell.
25. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a third measurement gap pattern, wherein the third measurement gap pattern is associated with a third activity, and wherein the first, second, and third measurement gap patterns occur in the time period; and perform a measurement associated with a second mmW neighbor cell in accordance with the third measurement gap pattern.
26. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein the measurement status is based on at least one of: a measurement result, a number of neighbor mmW cells detected, a location of the WTRU, or a speed of the WTRU.
27. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein the capability associated with the WTRU includes at least one of a number of beams supported by the WTRU, a number of phase antenna arrays supported by the WTRU, or a number of simultaneous receive beams supported by the WTRU.
28. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein each measurement gap pattern is associated with respective configuration parameters.
29. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein at least one of the first measurement gap pattern or the second measurement gap pattern is received by decoding a measurement DCI in a control channel.
30. The WTRU of claim 23, wherein at least one of the first measurement gap pattern or the second measurement gap pattern is received by decoding a MAC control element.
31. A method of evaluating connectivity in a millimeter wave (mmW) system, comprising:
sending a measurement gap request message associated with a millimeter wave (mmW) measurement, wherein the measurement gap request message includes a measurement gap requirement, and wherein the measurement gap requirement relates to a capability associated with the WTRU or a measurement status associated with the WTRU; receiving a first measurement gap pattern and a second measurement gap pattern, wherein the first measurement gap pattern is associated with a first activity and the second measurement gap pattern is associated with a second activity, and wherein the first measurement gap pattern and the second measurement gap pattern occur in a time period; performing a measurement associated with a mmW serving cell in accordance with the first measurement gap pattern; and performing a measurement associated with a first mmW neighbor cell in accordance with the second measurement gap pattern.
32. The method of claim 31, wherein the first activity includes a wide beam measurement and the second activity includes a narrow beam measurement, wherein the wide beam measurement and the narrow beam measurement are associated with the mmW serving cell.
33. The method of claim 31, further comprising:
receiving a third measurement gap pattern, wherein the third measurement gap pattern is associated with a third activity, and wherein the first, second, and third measurement gap patterns occur in the time period; and performing a measurement associated with a second mmW neighbor cell in accordance with the third measurement gap pattern.
34. The method of claim 31, wherein the measurement status is based on at least one of: a measurement result, a number of neighbor mmW cells detected, a location of the WTRU, or a speed of the WTRU.
35. The method of claim 31, wherein the capability associated with the WTRU includes at least one of: a number of beams supported by the WTRU, a number of phase antenna arrays supported by the WTRU, or a number of simultaneous receive beams supported by the WTRU.
36. The method of claim 31, wherein each measurement gap pattern is associated with respective configuration parameters.
37. The method of claim 31, wherein:
at least one of the first measurement gap pattern or the second measurement gap pattern is received by decoding a measurement DCI in a control channel; or at least one of the first measurement gap pattern or the second measurement gap pattern is received by decoding a MAC control element.
