1. A apparatus of a User Equipment (UE), the apparatus including a Radio Frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface, the processing circuitry to:
generate a signal including capability information of the UE, wherein a time period for intra-frequency cell detection and measurement for the UE is based on the capability information; and
cause a transmission of the signal within a cellular network to include the UE using the RF interface;
wherein the UE is to operate in a 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz frequency range (a FR2 frequency range); and
wherein the time period corresponds to a maximum value as between a lower bound value, and an upper value based on a scale factor (N) for receive (Rx) beam sweeping times a value based on a number of samples times a time period for a Secondary Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel Block measurement time configuration (SMTC period).
