Abstract: A wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes a processor. The wireless communication device also includes memory in electronic communication with the processor. The wireless communication device further includes instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to determine, for a first measurement gap, whether a measured gain state matches an appointed gain state. The instructions are also executable to determine, for the first measurement gap, whether a new cell is detected. The instructions are further executable to determine whether to skip a subsequent measurement gap based on whether the measured gain state matches the appointed gain state and whether a new cell is detected.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a measurement gap configuration from a base station, wherein the measurement gap configuration includes a tune away period. The UE may determine whether one or more data traffic criteria are satisfied for the tune away period. The UE may disregard the measurement gap configuration based at least in part on the determination of whether the one or more data traffic criteria are satisfied. The UE may remain tuned to the base station during the tune away period based at least in part on the determination of whether the one or more data traffic criteria are satisfied. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for wireless communication are disclosed. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines to perform a synchronization procedure and receives at least one synchronization signal. The UE may generate a detection metric based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal and compare the detection metric or detection metrics accumulated since determining to perform the synchronization procedure with a detection threshold. The detection threshold may be associated with the at least one synchronization signal utilized to determine whether the synchronization procedure can be terminated prior to receiving a predetermined number of synchronization signals. The UE may continue or terminate the synchronization procedure based at least in part on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a quantity configuration indicating one or more updated measurement parameters for a specific radio access technology (RAT). The UE may remove, from a measurement report list, only measurement reporting entries for one or more measurement identities that are associated with the specific RAT. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for early termination of decoding of communication channels for power saving in narrowband devices are provided. One technique includes monitoring for one or more first repetitions of at least one communication channel from a base station. The device determines, based on the monitoring, whether to refrain from monitoring for one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel. The device enters a low power mode if the determination is to refrain from monitoring for the one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for transmitting a measurement report during wireless communications. When, for example, a low-power period (e.g., CDRX OFF period) is scheduled to begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer (TTT timer), a UE may modify the low-power period. The low-power period may be modified based, at least in part on determining the low-power period of the UE will begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer, a duration of the measurement event timer, and a duration of the low-power period. Modifying the low-power period may include delaying the start of the low-power state until after transmission of the MR associated with the measurement event timer or skipping the low-power period altogether. The UE may transmit the MR based, at least in part, on the modification.
