1. A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
determining a measurement gap sharing scheme for layer 1 (L1)/layer 2 (L2) based mobility and layer 3 (L3) based mobility, wherein the measurement gap scheme includes measurement gap sharing between an intra-frequency measurement category and an inter-frequency measurement category, wherein the inter-frequency measurement category includes sharing a measurement gap between at least L1-reference signal received power (RSRP) and layer 3 (L3) measurements;
determining a measurement gap pattern, wherein at least one measurement gap includes L1/L2 measurement occasions and L3 measurement occasions; and
collecting measurement data during the at least one measurement gap in accordance with the measurement gap sharing scheme.
