This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) radio frequency (RF) sensing with polarization configuration. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving at a network node participating in 5G NR RF sensing a first polarization indicator and a second polarization indicator from a network entity. The first polarization indicator is associated with transmission of a first reference sensing signal and the second polarization indicator is associated with reception of a second reference sensing signal. The network node performs sensing measurements using the first polarization indicator and the second polarization indicator and transmits a sensing measurement report including the sensing measurements associated with the second reference sensing signal to the network entity. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for multiple network energy modes at a network entity, where different network energy modes are associated with different energy consumption. A network entity may provide, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, configuration information for a set of synchronization signal block (SSB) transmissions, where different subsets of SSBs use different network energy modes. A UE may measure one or more parameters for at least a first SSB, and initiate a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure based at least in part on the network energy mode associated with the first SSB and a threshold value associated with the one or more parameters. In some aspects, different SSBs associated with different network energy modes may use different parameter thresholds for initiating the BFR procedure.
