The method includes the UE maintaining a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a first base station (BS) of a first network while receiving transmissions from a BS of a second network during at least one time period specified in a switch gap configuration. The UE receives an RRC reconfiguration message from the first BS that includes a first command and a second command. The first command instructs the UE to begin a handover procedure from the first BS to a second BS of the first network. The second command controls usage of the switch gap configuration by the UE. The UE initiates the handover procedure according to the first command. The UE may suspend reception of transmissions from the BS of the second network during a time interval following completion of the handover procedure based on the second command.
