1. A processor of a reduced capability (redcap) user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a measurement configuration from a serving cell, wherein the measurement configuration comprises event configuration associated with radio resource management (RRM) relaxation for a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode;
performing measurements of the serving cell;
determining whether the event configuration associated with the RRM relaxation for the RRC connected mode has been satisfied based on the measurements;
when the event configuration associated with the RRM relaxation for the RRC connected mode has been satisfied, generating one or more RRC messages to be transmitted to the serving cell, the one or more RRC messages comprising a measurement report and an explicit indication that RRM relaxation criterion has been fulfilled; and
receiving an indication from the serving cell that the RRM relaxation for the RRC connected mode is enabled at the redcap UE.
