Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure allow a UE to request, in an anchor carrier on one frequency band, a base station to configure and transmit A-TRS in an SSB-less secondary carrier on a different frequency band. The UE transmits, in a first cell served by the anchor carrier, a request for A-TRS. Based on the request, the UE receives, in a second cell lacking SSB transmissions served by the secondary carrier, the A-TRS based on the request. The base station may also control transmission of the A-TRS in the SSB-less secondary cell based on a timer derived from the request. Using the A-TRS, the UE may apply AGC and time/frequency tracking loop operations prior to receiving a PDSCH in the SSB-less secondary cell, thereby improving reception performance of downlink data transmissions in the secondary carrier. Thus, network energy savings provided by SSB-less secondary carriers may be obtained in inter-band CA.
