Power savings while performing multiple concurrent cell searches

A method for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an indicator of a set of base stations included in a synchronization group, wherein at least a first base station of the set of base stations operates on a first frequency that is different than a second frequency on which a second base station of the set of base stations operates;
• identifying a measurement timing window corresponding to the synchronization group by
• identifying a symbol timing tolerance condition for a band and an intra-band carrier aggregation tolerance condition, and
• identifying a duration of the measurement timing window based at least in part on the symbol timing tolerance condition for the band and the intra-band carrier aggregation tolerance condition;
• transmitting, within the measurement timing window, a synchronization signal;
• and
• receiving, from the UE, a measurement report that indicates a respective synchronization signal measurement for each of the set of base stations.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor,
• a transceiver,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify a set of base stations that are included in a synchronization group, wherein at least a first base station of the set of base stations operates on a first frequency that is different than a second frequency on which a second base station of the set of base stations operates;
• identify a measurement timing window corresponding to the synchronization group by
• identifying a symbol timing tolerance condition for a band and an intra-band carrier aggregation tolerance condition, and
• identifying a duration of the measurement timing window based at least in part on the symbol timing tolerance condition for the band and the intra-band carrier aggregation tolerance condition;
• measure, within the measurement timing window, a respective synchronization signal for each base station of the set of base stations;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, a measurement report that indicates a set of synchronization signal measurements.
