Techniques for a reference signal for on-demand broadcast communications

A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the network node to:
• transmit a synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration for SSBs that carry first synchronization information;
• transmit a reference signal indicating second synchronization information that is reduced relative to the first synchronization information;
• and
• receive, in association with measurement information of the reference signal, a communication;
• and
• transmit, based on the reception of the communication, an SSB, wherein the SSB is in accordance with the SSB configuration and the measurement information.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration for SSBs that carry first synchronization information;
• receiving a reference signal indicating second synchronization information that is reduced relative to the first synchronization information;
• and
• measuring the reference signal to obtain measurement information;
• transmitting, in association with the measurement information, a communication;
• and
• receiving, based on the transmission of the communication, an SSB in accordance with the SSB configuration and the measurement of the reference signal.
