1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) having a serving cell and a neighbor cell included in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, parameters defining a measurement window;
receiving, by the UE, one or more timing thresholds;
performing a measurement operation with respect to the neighbor cell by measuring reference information of the neighbor cell in accordance with the measurement window;
determining, by the UE, whether to adjust one or more of the parameters of the measurement window based on a temporal position of the reference information and the one or more timing thresholds; and
adjusting one or more of the parameters of the measurement window based on the determining,
wherein the measurement window is a synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window,
wherein the reference information of the neighbor cell is an SSB of the neighbor cell,
wherein,
the one or more timing thresholds include a first timing threshold,
the parameters of the measurement window include a temporal position of the of the measurement window,
the determining includes performing a comparison based on the first timing threshold and a first timing difference,
the first timing difference is an absolute value of a difference between a temporal position of the SSB and a temporal position of the SMTC window, and
the adjusting includes adjusting the temporal position of the SMTC window such that the temporal position of the SMTC window is closer to the temporal position of the SSB, in response to determining that the first timing difference is not less than the first timing threshold.
