Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for using keep-alive signaling for network energy saving in an idle mode. A network entity can transmit a keep-alive signal (KAS) to reduce the energy consumption of a network when the network is in an idle mode. In some aspects, the KAS can be a reduced synchronization signal block (SSB) that is sent more frequently than a full SSB. In some aspects, the KAS can have a different beam sweeping pattern and/or beam width from the full SSB.
