An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus configured to configured to receive a RRC reconfiguration request associated with CA; perform a first set of RRC reconfiguration operations associated with a first set of physical layer parameters in response to the RRC reconfiguration request; transmit, based on completing performing the first set of RRC reconfiguration operations, an RRC reconfiguration complete indication; and perform, after transmitting the RRC reconfiguration complete indication, a second set of RRC reconfiguration operations associated with a second set of parameters other than the first set of physical layer parameters. In certain aspects, the apparatus may be configured to schedule, in response to the RRC reconfiguration request, at least one gap in uplink transmission and downlink reception via a PCC to coincide with one or more time periods based on a known configuration for communication with a network node associated with the carrier aggregation.
