1. A method of coordinating reference signal (RS) processing for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, at a base station, a request for a processing window (PW) configuration for the UE, wherein:
the base station comprises a serving base station of the UE, and
the request includes information indicative of an RS configuration, the RS configuration indicative of a timing of one or more RS resources; and
determining, at the base station, the PW configuration based at least in part on the information indicative of the RS configuration, wherein determining the PW configuration comprises determining the PW configuration based on an application of one or more predetermined rules to the information indicative of the RS configuration, wherein the application of the one or more predetermined rules comprises:
determining at least two PW fragments based on the information indicative of the RS configuration wherein a first PW fragment of the at least two PW fragments is separated in time from a second PW fragment of the at least two PW fragments by less than a first threshold amount of time; and
merging the at least two PW fragments, wherein the PW configuration comprises information indicative of:
one or more RS reception times of at least one PW for performing one or more measurements of the one or more RS resources, and
a processing time of the at least one PW.
