Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for measurement without gaps for narrow bandwidth part (BWP) hopping. A user equipment (UE) may measure one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) while performing BWP hopping according to a hopping pattern. The UE may receive data and measure an SSB in a same frequency hop during a same measurement window without a gap. A base station (BS) may transmit a control message to the UE to configure an active BWP for the UE, a set of measurement windows, a hopping pattern, and a set of SSBs that occur within a set of frequency hops to support the measurement without gaps. The active BWP may be defined for measurement purposes to reduce ambiguity. The control message may support alignment of a measurement window with an active frequency hop to support measurement without gaps.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions based on user authentication. One exemplary method includes, for a network transaction, receiving, at a card device, an authentication command from an issuer of a payment account associated with the card device. A user of the card device is instructed, at an indicator of the card device, to provide a biometric for use in authenticating the user.
