Techniques for network energy saving sequences and cell interaction

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, with instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), first control signaling indicating a first network operation sequence associated with a first component carrier, the first network operation sequence comprising a first set of time intervals corresponding to a first set of network operation modes for the first component carrier;
• transmit, to the UE, second control signaling indicating a second network operation sequence associated with a second component carrier, the second network operation sequence different from the first network operation sequence, the second network operation sequence comprising a second set of time intervals corresponding to a second set of network operation modes for the second component carrier, the second set of time intervals and the second set of network operation modes different from the first set of time intervals and the first set of network operation modes, respectively;
• communicate with the UE via the first component carrier in accordance with the first network operation sequence;
• and
• communicate with the UE via the second component carrier in accordance with the second network operation sequence.
