1. An access node comprising:
a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a user equipment (UE); and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the transceiver, and configured to:
determine a number of measurement objects (MOs) that collide with a target MO for the UE, wherein the number of MOs is based on both intra-frequency MOs and inter-frequency MOs when the UE is configured with equal sharing of collided MOs with other UEs, and wherein the number of MOs is based only on inter-frequency MOs when the UE is configured with non-equal sharing of collided MOs with other UEs;
determine, based on the number of MOs, a scaling factor to be used for an inter-frequency cell identification requirement; and
encode, for transmission to the UE, an indication of the scaling factor.
