1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
determine an amount of time for a timer used for an autonomous measurement gap associated with a neighboring cell,
the autonomous measurement gap being autonomously determined by the UE;
initiate the timer;
determine that the autonomous measurement gap is to occur based at least in part on determining that the amount of time for the timer has expired; and
perform a measurement of the neighboring cell during the autonomous measurement gap.
