Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for cell access procedures based on multiple types of discovery signals that may be transmitted by network entities operating in an energy saving (ES) mode. A user equipment (UE) may establish wireless connectivity via a first network entity and receive a discovery signal from a second network entity that contains less information than a synchronization signal block (SSB) for use in a cell access procedure. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on one or more conditions associated with the discovery signal being satisfied, a trigger signal to the ES-mode second network entity to transmit a SSB for use in the cell access procedure. The UE may monitor for the SSB based at least in part on the trigger signal, and perform the cell access procedure based at least in part on the SSB.
