1. A method implemented in a user equipment, UE, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network node, information indicating:
a first number (K) of beams to be measured by the UE, and
a second number (L) of cells in which the UE is required to measure the first number (K) of beams;
carrying out measurements using the received information; and
performing at least one operational task based on a result of the measurements,
wherein the first number (K) specifies:
a total number of beams to be measured in all the second number (L) of cells, wherein the method further comprising:
transmitting a message to the network node, which message reflects a capability of the UE to carry out measurements in agreement with the received information, and which message is transmitted before the UE receives the information from the network node.
