Cell selection in energy saving mode cells

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

• establishing wireless connectivity via a first network entity;
• wirelessly receiving a discovery signal from a second network entity, wherein the discovery signal contains less information than a synchronization signal block for use in a cell access procedure;
• wirelessly transmitting, based at least in part on one or more conditions associated with the discovery signal being satisfied, a trigger signal to the second network entity to transmit the synchronization signal block for use in the cell access procedure, wherein the cell access procedure is based at least in part on signal measurements of both the first network entity and the second network entity;
• and
• monitoring for the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the trigger signal.

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

• means for establishing wireless connectivity via a first network entity;
• means for wirelessly receiving a discovery signal from a second network entity, wherein the discovery signal contains less information than a synchronization signal block for use in a cell access procedure;
• means for wirelessly transmitting, based at least in part on one or more conditions associated with the discovery signal being satisfied, a trigger signal to the second network entity to transmit the synchronization signal block for use in the cell access procedure, wherein the cell access procedure is based at least in part on signal measurements of both the first network entity and the second network entity;
• and
• means for monitoring for the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the trigger signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• establish wireless connectivity via a first network entity;
• wirelessly receive a discovery signal from a second network entity, wherein the discovery signal contains less information than a synchronization signal block for use in a cell access procedure;
• wirelessly transmit, based at least in part on one or more conditions associated with the discovery signal being satisfied, a trigger signal to the second network entity to transmit the synchronization signal block for use in the cell access procedure, wherein the cell access procedure is based at least in part on signal measurements of both the first network entity and the second network entity;
• and
• monitor for the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the trigger signal.
