12. A method for a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE) to perform measurement object (MO) merging for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) layer 3 (L3) measurements, the method comprising:
accessing data corresponding to a first measurement configuration from a primary cell (PCell) and a second measurement configuration from a primary secondary cell (PSCell);
processing the first measurement configuration from the PCell to configure a first MO;
processing the second measurement configuration from the PSCell to configure a second MO, wherein the first MO and the second MO are for the UE to measure in synchronous intra-band dual connectivity (DC);
determining whether the first MO and the second MO are to be counted only once in a total number of effective CSI-RS L3 MOs; and
configuring the UE perform CSI-RS L3 measurements according to the total number of effective CSI-RS L3 MOs.
