Techniques for sensing wakeup signal

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

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit control signaling indicating one or more parameters for a wakeup signal associated with a sensing reference signal;
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE) operating in an idle mode, the wakeup signal based at least in part on the one or more parameters;
• and
• communicate the sensing reference signal based at least in part on the wakeup signal.

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

• receiving control signaling indicating one or more parameters for a wakeup signal associated with a sensing reference signal;
• receiving, while operating in an idle mode, the wakeup signal based at least in part on the one or more parameters;
• and
• communicating the sensing reference signal based at least in part on the wakeup signal.
