11. A base station comprising:
radio circuitry configured for communicating with User Equipments (UE); and
processing circuitry that, with respect to the base station acting as a second base station serving a UE in multiconnectivity with a first base station, is configured to:
receive a first message from the first base station, the first message comprising information regarding a change in a first set of frequencies associated with one or more measurements to be performed by a user equipment (UE);
determine a measurement gap configuration to be used by the UE, based on the change; and
send an inter-node Radio Resource Control (RRC) message to the first base station as a second message for subsequent transmission to the UE as an embedded message, the second message comprising the measurement gap configuration to be used by the UE.
