1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
establishing a first time period to evaluate one or more quality parameters of one or more reference signals, wherein the first time period is based on a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configuration and a scaling factor, wherein the scaling factor is based on a number of panels of the UE, the scaling factor is based on a number of beams that the UE monitors simultaneously, or the scaling factor is based on both;
transmitting, to a network entity, an indication of at least one of the number of panels of the UE or the number of beams that the UE monitors simultaneously through one or more combinations of Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
determining a quality parameter of a beam or a cell based on the one or more quality parameters of the one or more reference signals during the first time period;
determining whether the one or more quality parameters of the one or more reference signals exceeds a quality threshold; and
transmitting, at a timing based on the first time period, an uplink signal to the network entity based on the determination of whether the one or more quality parameters of the one or more reference signals exceeds the quality threshold.
