Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap in a wireless communication system. A wireless device and a cellular base station may establish a wireless link according to a first radio access technology. The cellular base station may indicate to the wireless device to perform inter radio access technology measurements. The wireless device may determine that it is capable of performing the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap. The wireless device may provide capability information to the cellular base station indicating that the wireless device is capable of performing the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap. The wireless device may perform the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap.
