Dynamic network power mode switching and timeline

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, a network power mode configuration corresponding to a mode of operation of the base station that affects a power consumption of the base station;
• receiving control signaling indicating for the UE to switch to the network power mode configuration associated with the mode of operation of the base station;
• and
• communicating with the base station based on the network power mode configuration in response to the control signaling.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to cause the base station to:
• transmit, to a UE, a network power mode configuration corresponding to a mode of operation of the base station that affects a power consumption of the base station;
• transmit control signaling indicating for the UE to switch to the network power mode configuration associated with the mode of operation of the base station;
• and
• communicate with the UE based on the network power mode configuration in response to the control signaling.
