Communication of WUS indicating selected PCIs of a PCI group

A method of operating a base station, comprising:

• receiving a measurement report, from a user equipment (UE), during a configured DRX ON duration that precedes a wake-up signal (WUS);
• selecting physical cell identifiers, PCIs, of a PCI group based on the measurement report;
• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), the WUS that includes an indication of selected physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of a PCI group;
• and
• transmitting, to the UE based on the WUS, during one or more configured DRX ON durations associated with the selected PCIs of the PCI group.

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

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• transmit a measurement report during a configured DRX ON duration that precedes a wake-up signal (WUS), the measurement report including measurements of cells associated with a physical cell identifier (PCI) Group;
• receive WUS that includes an indication of selected PCIs of the PCI group;
• and
• monitor, in response to the WUS, one or more configured DRX ON durations associated with the selected PCIs of the PCI group.

A network entity, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive a measurement report, from a user equipment UE during a configured DRX ON duration that precedes a wake-up signal (WUS);
• select physical cell identifiers, PCIs, of a PCI group based on the measurement report;
• transmit, to the (UE), the WUS that includes an indication of selected physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of a PCI group;
• and
• transmit, to the UE based on the WUS, during one or more configured DRX ON durations associated with the selected PCIs of the PCI group.
