1. A method for measurement gap configuration, comprising:
sending a first message including a first measurement gap configuration from a first network device to a user equipment UE, the first measurement gap configuration being based on a UE new measurement gap capability;
detecting at the first network device whether a legacy gap assisted measurement is required for the UE;
responsive to the legacy gap assisted measurement being required, sending a second message including a second measurement gap configuration from the first network device to the UE, the second measurement gap configuration being based on a UE legacy measurement gap capability; and
sending a third message indicating fallback of the UE to the legacy measurement gap capability from the first network device to a second network device in communication with the UE.
