1. A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
establishing a network connection, the network connection including a new radio (NR)-NR dual connectivity band combination wherein a primary cell (PCell) of a primary cell group (PCG) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) both operate on frequency range 1 (FR1) and wherein at least one cell of either the PCG or the SCG operates on frequency range 2 (FR2);
receiving a measurement gap timing advance parameter;
selecting one subframe from multiple serving cell subframes; and
determining a starting point for a configured per-frequency range (FR) measurement gap based on the measurement gap timing advance parameter and the selected subframe.
