On-demand non-cell-defining synchronization signal block transmission

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• transmit control signaling that configures an on-demand transmission scheme for a first synchronization signal block for a cell via one or more of a plurality of transmission opportunities of an operating bandwidth of a user equipment (UE), wherein the cell is associated with a carrier bandwidth that includes the operating bandwidth of the UE;
• receive, in accordance with the on-demand transmission scheme, a message requesting transmission of one or more instances of the first synchronization signal block;
• and
• transmit, based at least in part on the message, the one or more instances of the first synchronization signal block in the operating bandwidth of the UE via at least one transmission opportunity of the plurality of transmission opportunities.

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

• receiving control signaling that configures an on-demand transmission scheme for a first synchronization signal block for a cell via one or more of a plurality of transmission opportunities of an operating bandwidth of the UE, wherein the cell is associated with a carrier bandwidth that includes the operating bandwidth of the UE;
• transmitting, in accordance with the on-demand transmission scheme, a message requesting transmission of one or more instances of the first synchronization signal block;
• and
• receiving, based at least in part on the message, the one or more instances of the first synchronization signal block in the operating bandwidth of the UE via at least one transmission opportunity of the plurality of transmission opportunities.
