Techniques and apparatuses for beam management

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• determine an occurrence of a triggering event, wherein the triggering event is associated with an identification of a beam of a plurality of beams;
• perform measurements of reference signals on different beams, of the plurality of beams, prior to a wake cycle associated with a reception mode of the UE, wherein the UE is configured to wake, based on the occurrence of the triggering event, from a sleep cycle to perform the measurements before an ‘ON’ period of the wake cycle;
• identify the beam based at least in part on the measurements;
• and
• receive a control channel or a data channel using the beam after identifying the beam.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining an occurrence of a triggering event, wherein the triggering event is associated with an identification of a beam of a plurality of beams;
• means for performing measurements of reference signals on different beams, of the plurality of beams, prior to a wake cycle associated with a reception mode of the apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to wake, based on the occurrence of the triggering event, from a sleep cycle to perform the measurements before an ‘ON’ period of the wake cycle;
• means for identifying the beam based at least in part on the measurements;
• and
• means for receiving a control channel or a data channel using the beam after identifying the beam.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for wireless communication, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the one or more processors to:
• determine an occurrence of a triggering event, wherein the triggering event is associated with an identification of a beam of a plurality of beams;
• perform measurements of reference signals on different beams, of the plurality of beams, prior to a wake cycle associated with a reception mode of the UE, wherein the UE is configured to wake, based on the occurrence of the triggering event, from a sleep cycle to perform the measurements before an ‘ON’ period of the wake cycle;
• identify the beam based at least in part on the measurements;
• and
• receive a control channel or a data channel using the beam after identifying the beam.
