A user equipment (UE) reduces latency of measurement procedures when the UE leaves a coverage area of a serving radio access technology (RAT) and enters a coverage area of a neighbor RAT. In one instance, the UE performs inter-RAT measurements of neighbor frequencies of the neighbor RAT during a measurement gap allocated by a base station of the serving RAT. The UE also determines whether to switch a frequency of the neighbor RAT for decoding a synchronization channel during the measurement gap of the serving RAT. The determining is based on whether a difference between a signal quality of a first frequency of the neighbor RAT and a signal quality of a second frequency of the neighbor RAT exceeds a threshold. |
