==METHOD FOR NETWORK ELEMENT, NETWORK ELEMENT, METHOD FOR USER EQUIPMENT, USER EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441398 titled 'METHOD FOR NETWORK ELEMENT, NETWORK ELEMENT, METHOD FOR USER EQUIPMENT, USER EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for a network element to communicate with a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network.

* The method involves determining multiple concurrent measurement gap (MG) patterns.
* The network element encodes a message that includes MG configuration information for the UE.
* The MG configuration information includes an indication of the multiple concurrent MG patterns, which includes time offsets for each pattern.
* The network element then transmits the message to the UE.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method for a network element is provided. The method comprises: determining multiple concurrent measurement gap (MG) patterns; encoding a message for transmission to a user equipment (UE) including MG configuration information that includes an indication of the multiple concurrent MG patterns, wherein the indication of the multiple concurrent MG patterns includes at least time offsets for respective MG patterns; and transmitting the message to the UE.
