Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for reference signals from a first, reference cell and a second, deactivated cell, and the UE may report a timing difference between a first timing advance of the first cell and a second timing advance of the second cell. In some cases, the UE may report a timing difference periodically, and, in other cases, the UE may report a timing difference aperiodically. Once a network entity receives the timing difference, the network entity may determine the second timing difference for the UE to use to communicate with the second cell. The network entity may then signal the second timing difference to the UE when the second cell is activated for communications with the UE, and the UE may use the second timing advance to communicate with the second cell.
