Aligning time durations for signaling and measurement

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• determining a set of periodicities associated with a first duration of a set of first durations for a user equipment (UE) to perform signaling and measurement, the first duration aligned outside a second duration of a set of second durations for the UE to receive data based at least in part on the set of periodicities;
• transmitting a control message indicating the set of periodicities associated with the first duration of the set of first durations to the UE;
• and
• communicating with the UE based at least in part on transmitting the control message indicating the set of periodicities.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from a network entity, a control message indicating a set of periodicities associated with at least a first duration of a set of first durations for the UE to perform signaling and measurement, the first duration aligned outside of a second duration of a set of second durations for the UE to receive data based at least in part on the set of periodicities;
• perform one or more operations during the first duration based at least in part on the first duration of the set of first durations being aligned outside the second duration of the set of second durations;
• and
• communicate with the network entity based at least in part on receiving the control message indicating the set of periodicities and performing the one or more operations during the first duration.
