1. A network access device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured for macrotechnology-based transmission to a multi-mode user equipment of a signal including a plurality of data portions and a plurality of gaps between one or more of the plurality of data portions, wherein at least one of the gaps is used by the multi-mode user equipment for measurement of a first signal strength of a microtechnology-based network, wherein the processor is further configured to use a gap previously designated for macrotechnology-based signal strength measurement to perform the microtechnology-based signal strength measurement.
