Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a set of base stations that are part of a synchronization group, where at least two of the base stations in the set of base stations operate on different frequencies.

Accordingly, the UE may then transmit a measurement report to the serving base station that includes the synchronization signal measurements.
