Original Abstract Submitted

Cell reselection and other operations involving signal measurements at a UE may increase the power consumption and operation complexity at a UE, such as a reduced capacity UE (RedCap UE). In some scenarios, for example, a UE may need to frequently switch to bandwidth parts (BWPs) outside the bandwidth of its initial DL bandwidth part to receive and measure synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for cell reselection, which increases the power consumption of the UE. The aspects described herein allow a UE to measure SSBs in one or more bandwidth parts that is not an initial DL bandwidth part configured by a serving cell of the UE in response to an event trigger or a message received at the UE. The SSBs may be associated with the serving cell of the UE or with a non-serving cell. The UE performs a cell reselection operation based on the measurements.
