Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may operate in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. The UE may receive control messages indicating reference signal and wakeup signal (WUS) configurations. The reference signal configuration may indicate a reference signal position associated with reference signals and the WUS configuration may indicate a WUS position associated with WUSs and within a time-domain offset of the reference signal position. For example, the WUS position may be directly before or after the reference signal position. The offset may be based on durations associated with the UE transitioning (e.g., ramping up and ramping down) between sleep modes and an awake mode. The reference signal position may be within a DRX cycle period offset in time from the WUS position. The UE may monitor for the WUSs, the reference signals, and in some implementations, data, according to the offset.
