Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include a user equipment (UE) identifying a priority scheme for a set of signals including a first set of synchronization signal block (SSB) signals associated with a first frequency range, a second set of SSB signals associated with a second frequency range, and a paging signal associated with the first frequency range. The UE may then monitor, via a narrowband processor of the UE and based on the priority scheme, a set of time resources for one or more of the first set of SSB signals, the second set of SSB signals, or the paging signal. The narrowband processor may be configured to process signals received via the first frequency range and the second frequency range.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating multi-tasking and smart location selection during connected-mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) mode are disclosed herein. Example techniques disclosed herein enable a UE to perform multiple tasks during a same SSBS to reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. For example, disclosed techniques enable a UE to perform RLM tasks and loop tracking tasks during a first SSBS and thereby reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. In some examples, the UE may also perform the search task or the measurement task during the same first SSBS and, thereby, further reduce the number of wake-up SSBSs. Example techniques disclosed herein may also enable the UE to select which SSBS occurrences to wake-up for during the OFF duration of the CDRX cycle.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes determining a first synchronization signal block (SSB) to monitor beam management. The first SSB comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS), multiple physical broadcast channels (PBCHs), and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The method also includes determining a list of receive beams for measuring the first SSB. The method further includes measuring the first SSB by measuring the PSS with a first beam from the list of receive beams, measuring, with a second beam from the list of receive beams, a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) on a first PBCH symbol of a first of the PBCHs, measuring the SSS with a third beam from the list of receive beams; and measuring, with a fourth beam from the list of receive beams, a second DMRS on a second PBCH symbol of a second of the PBCHs.

Abstract: A UE is configured to determine a set of parameters associated with receiving the SSBs, the set of parameters including a first parameter bitmap associated with a serving cell, a second parameter bitmap associated with the neighbor cell, and the SMTC. The UE is configured to determine a search window for searching the received SSBs based on the SMTC and at least one of the first parameter bitmap or the second parameter bitmap. The UE may measure the SSBs searched during the determined search window and send measurement results associated with at least a subset of the measured SSBs to the base station. The UE may also prune measurements to generate the measurement results by removing measurements associated with SSBs received in slots that are not indicated to expect SSBs, based on the first parameter bitmap, the second first parameter bitmap, or the SMTC.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a synchronization signal block (SSB)-level sleep mode. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining, from a synchronization signal burst set, a first set of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) to forgo performing measurements on using one or more receive beams based, at least in part, on one or more previous measurements associated with the determined first set of SSBs and performing measurements on only one or more remaining SSBs in the synchronization signal burst set using the one or more receive beams.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of a set of component carriers (CCs) for the UE and a respective frequency range (FR) for each CC of the set of CCs. Each CC-FR pairing may be associated with a respective priority of a set of priorities. The UE may initiate a plurality of timers, where each timer of the plurality of timers may correspond to a respective CC-FR pairing. After expiration of a timer of the plurality of timers, the UE may measure one or more reference signals of a subset of the set of CCs based at least in part on a capability of the UE and a priority of the respective CC-FR pairing associated with the timer.

Abstract: Enhanced inter-RAT communication operations are disclosed. In one aspect, a device may identify one or more trigger events for monitoring control signals of another network for inter-RAT procedures, such as monitoring for one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs). In another aspect, the device may perform a comparison of multiple SSBs. In another aspect, the device may identify one or more release conditions for releasing local settings data associated with a customized measurement gap. In another aspect, the device may send the local settings data to a server. In another aspect, the device may send an extended signaling message indicating a timing offset between network devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) are described. Aspects of the described techniques may include the user equipment measuring signal aspects for a plurality of respective receive beams for receiving communications associated with a synchronization signal block transmitted by a base station on a transmit beam. From the measured signal aspects, the UE may determine that a receive beam from the plurality of receive beams is a preferred beam for receipt of communications from the base station transmitted on the transmit beam. With the determined preferred beam, the UE may initiate a beam-sweeping procedure to re-measure the plurality of UE receive beams, where the UE measures the first UE receive beam before measuring others of the plurality of UE receive beams.

Abstract: A UE may be configured to select narrower or wider beams that may be suitable for use with a current UE mobility, scattering environment, etc. The UE may track changes to an identified beam of a certain width, and so may recover from tracking or other radio link failures by switching to a beam that is spatially adjacent or to a beam of a different width. The UE may identify a first beam associated with a first beam width based on at least one reference signal received by the UE. The UE may further determine a set of beams based on the first beam width that is associated with the identified first beam, and the determined set of beams may include at least one beam corresponding to the first beam width. The UE may further measure respective channel qualities associated with each beam of the determined set of beams.
