1. A wireless device, comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna; and
a processor coupled to the at least one radio and configured to:
acquire a hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling a measurement operation of the wireless device in accordance with hybrid measurement gap patterns,
wherein the hybrid measurement gap patterns comprise a combination of a pre-configured measurement gap and multiple concurrent measurement gaps or a combination of a Network Controlled Small Gap (NCSG) and the multiple concurrent measurement gaps,
wherein the combination of the pre-configured measurement gap and the multiple concurrent measurement gaps or the combination of the NCSG and the multiple concurrent measurement gaps comprises a first measurement gap pattern associated with a first frequency segment and a second measurement gap pattern associated with a second frequency segment,
wherein the first measurement gap pattern is enabled when the wireless device switches from the second frequency segment to the first frequency segment, and
wherein the first measurement gap pattern is disabled when the wireless device switches from the first frequency segment to the second frequency segment; and
perform the measurement operation based on the hybrid measurement gap patterns.
