1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM) comprising instructions to, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
decode a message to obtain a measurement gap (MG) configuration in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access—new radio dual connectivity (EN-DC) operation; and
determine, based on the MG configuration, a start of a configured MG that corresponds to one or more long term evolution (LTE) subframes of one or more master-cell-group (MCG) serving cells and one or more new radio (NR) subframes of one or more secondary-cell-group (SCG) serving cells received by the UE; and
wherein the MG configuration is to indicate that the configured MG starts at x milliseconds advanced to an end of a latest subframe occurring immediately before a subframe of the configured MG among the one or more NR subframes of the one or more SCG serving cells including a primary secondary serving cell (PSCell), x is a value greater than zero, and the subframe of the configured MG is a subframe of the configured MG received by the UE at last in time among the one or more LTE subframes or among the one or more NR subframes.
