1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a memory configured to:
store a measurement object (MO) having an associated synchronization-signal block based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) that defines an SMTC occasion,
wherein the MO is within a group of MOs that include SMTC configurations that provide fully overlapped SMTC occasions; and
processing circuitry, coupled with the memory, configured to:
determine a per-UE based inter-frequency cell identification requirement for the group, wherein the per-UE based inter-frequency cell identification requirement is based on at least multiplying a scaling factor by a number of inter-frequency new radio (NR) carriers and an SMTC periodicity, wherein the group is an ith group and the per-UE based inter-frequency cell identification requirement is defined as:

OG Complex Work Unit Math
wherein the KInter-freq,GS is the scaling factor,
wherein the SMTCi is the SMTC periodicity of the ith group,
wherein the NFR1,i is a number of inter-frequency new radio (NR) frequency range 1 (FR1) carriers in the ith group,
wherein the NFR2,i is a number of inter-frequency NR frequency range 2 (FR2) carriers in the ith group,
wherein MIdentifyInter-freq,FR1 is a number of SMTCs that are used to measure a cell on an FR1 inter-frequency carrier, and
wherein MIdentifyInter-freq,FR2 is a number of synchronization signal block (SSBs) that are used to measure a cell on an FR2 inter-frequency carrier;
perform measurements based on the MO to determine whether a cell is detected within the per-UE based inter-frequency cell identification requirement; and
in response to determining that the cell is detected within the per-UE based inter-frequency cell identification requirement, report the measurements to an access node.
