1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the UE to:
connect with a master node (MN) in an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)-New Radio (NR) Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) mode;
process, at the UE, a message from the MN to configure one or more inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurement object (MO) on an NR serving component carrier (CC);
determine whether the message configures the one or more inter-RAT MO with or without a measurement gap (MG);
when the message configures the one or more inter-RAT MO on the NR serving CC with the MG, performing an inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether the MG is fully overlapped or partially overlapped with synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a target MO of the one or more inter-RAT MO;
when the message configures the one or more inter-RAT MO on the NR serving CC without the MG, performing the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether a target SSB of the target MO is within or outside an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the NR serving CC; and
when the MG is partially overlapped with the SSBs of the target MO:
perform the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC within the MG when the target SSB of the target MO is outside the active BWP of the NR serving CC; and
perform the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC outside the MG when the target SSB of the target MO is inside the active BWP of the NR serving CC.
