Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, during a first synchronization wakeup period while RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are set to an active state, one or more measurements of one or more SSBs of a first SSBS from a base station. The UE predicts, during the first synchronization wakeup period while the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are in the active state, a second SSBS at which to wake up for a second synchronization wakeup period based on the one or more measurements. In response to completion of FW post-processing operations, the UE transitions the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry from the active state to a sleep state.

A method of operating a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- performing, during a first synchronization wakeup period while at least one processor, radio frequency (RF) circuitry and firmware (FW) circuitry are set to an active state, one or more measurements of one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a first synchronization signal burst set (SSBS) from a wireless network component;
- predicting, during the first synchronization wakeup period while the at least one processor, the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are in the active state, a second SSBS at which to wake up for a second synchronization wakeup period based on the one or more measurements;
- performing, during the first synchronization wakeup period while the at least one processor, the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are in the active state, one or more FW post-processing operations based on the one or more measurements;
- transitioning the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry from the active state to a sleep state in response to completion of the one or more FW post-processing operations;
- and
- scheduling, by the at least one processor during the first synchronization wakeup period while the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are in the sleep state and the at least one processor is in the active state, a wakeup time associated with the second SSBS for the second synchronization wakeup period.
