1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
identifying a first period for operating in an inactive state and a second period for operating in an awake state;
identifying a first reference signal occasion that occurs during the first period and is separated from the second period by a first duration and a second reference signal occasion that occurs during the first period and is separated from the second period by a second duration that is greater than the first duration; and
receiving a reference signal during the second reference signal occasion based on transitioning to an active state during the second reference signal occasion and remaining in the inactive state by not transitioning to the active state during the first reference signal occasion, the first duration being less than a threshold duration for the UE to transition from the inactive state to the active state and the second duration being greater than the threshold duration.
