An apparatus for wireless communications at a first network entity, comprising:

• a processing system that includes processor circuitry and memory circuitry that stores code, the processing system configured to cause the apparatus to:
• communicate, via a backhaul communications link, one or more indications of a plurality of sets of parameters associated with a plurality of operation modes, the plurality of operation modes comprising at least an energy saving mode associated with a first set of parameters from the plurality of sets of parameters and a baseline mode associated with a second set of parameters from the plurality of sets of parameters, wherein the plurality of sets of parameters are associated with the first network entity, a second network entity, or both, and wherein the first set of parameters associated with the energy saving mode comprises at least a first offset value and the second set of parameters associated with the baseline mode comprises at least a second offset value;
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a control message indicative of a configuration of the plurality of sets of parameters associated with the plurality of operation modes based at least in part on communication of the one or more indications via the backhaul communications link;
• and
• transmit, to the UE, a message at a first frequency or a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is associated with the energy saving mode and the second frequency is associated with the baseline mode, and wherein an operation mode of the first network entity is in accordance with whether the message is transmitted at the first frequency or the second frequency.

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) operating in an idle or inactive mode, comprising:

• receiving a control message indicative of a configuration of a plurality of sets of parameters associated with a plurality of operation modes, the plurality of sets of parameters comprising at least a first set of parameters associated with an energy saving mode from the plurality of operation modes and a second set of parameters associated with a baseline mode associated from the plurality of operation modes, wherein the first set of parameters associated with the energy saving mode comprises at least a first offset value and the second set of parameters associated with the baseline mode comprises at least a second offset value;
• receiving, from a network entity, a message at a first frequency or a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is associated with the energy saving mode and the second frequency is associated with the baseline mode;
