1. A baseband processor, when executing instructions stored in a memory, configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first RRCReconfiguration message comprising a measConfig information element (IE), wherein the first RRCReconfiguration message indicates a purpose of one or more of Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Dual Connectivity (DC), and wherein the measConfig IE configures one or more measurements on a set of non-serving frequencies associated with a neighboring cell;
generating a MeasurementReport message that indicates the one or more measurements; and
receiving a second RRCReconfiguration message that configures the one or more of CA or DC.
