Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive a wakeup signal (WUS) from a network node, such as a base station, before listening for a paging message. The UE may assume a maximum duration (Wmax) for the WUS based on a dependency on variables associated with the base station and WUS. In some cases, the UE may determine not to monitor a WUS for the Wmax and may engage in an early termination based on the determination. That is, the UE may monitor the WUS for a time shorter than Wmax. The UE may assume the shorter time has a dependency on variables associated with the base station and WUS. The base station may indicate this dependency to the UE either implicitly or explicitly.
