Abstract
A sensor may determine a sampling pattern based on a group of synchronization signals received by the sensor. The sampling pattern may identify an expected time for receiving an upcoming synchronization signal. The sensor may trigger, based on the sampling pattern, a performance of a sensor operation associated with the upcoming synchronization signal. The performance of the sensor operation may be triggered before the upcoming synchronization signal is received.

1-20. (canceled)
A sensor, comprising:
- one or more components to:
- start a counter based on sensor data, associated with a synchronization signal, being ready for transmission;
- stop the counter based on the synchronization signal being received;
- selectively adjust a delay time for triggering a sensor operation, associated with another synchronization signal, based on a value of the counter and a target time buffer;
- and
- trigger, at a time based on the delay time, a performance of the sensor operation associated with the other synchronization signal.

A system, comprising:
- a sensor to:
- start a counter based on sensor data, associated with a synchronization signal, being ready for transmission;
- stop the counter based on the synchronization signal being received;
- selectively adjust a delay time for triggering a sensor operation, associated with another synchronization signal, based on a value of the counter and a target time buffer;
- and
- trigger, at a time based on the delay time, a performance of the sensor operation associated with the other synchronization signal.

A method comprising:
- starting, by a sensor device, a counter based on sensor data, associated with a synchronization signal, being ready for transmission;
- stopping, by the sensor device, the counter based on the synchronization signal being received;
- selectively adjusting, by the sensor device, a delay time for triggering a sensor operation, associated with another synchronization signal, based on a value of the counter and a target time buffer;
- and
- triggering, by the sensor device at a time based on the delay time, a performance of the sensor operation associated with the other synchronization signal.
