Synchronization signal periodicity adjustment

An apparatus for communications at a first device, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory, the processor configured to:
• determine a configuration of an actual transmission periodicity and at least one virtual transmission periodicity used by a second device, the at least one virtual transmission periodicity comprising a first period of time between one or more virtual instances of a measurement signal and the actual transmission periodicity comprising a second period of time between one or more actual instances of the measurement signal;
• select a monitoring periodicity corresponding to the actual transmission periodicity or the at least one virtual transmission periodicity based at least in part on one or more parameters, wherein the monitoring periodicity corresponds to a periodicity for monitoring measurement signals associated with the second device;
• and
• monitor for one or more measurement signals over a communication link in accordance with the selected monitoring periodicity.
