1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
selecting, from a set of one or more neighbor cells, a set of one or more candidate cells;
determining a reference signal received power (RSRP) for the set of one or more candidate cells based at least in part on synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a cell;
determining, from the set of one or more candidate cells, a set of one or more selected cells with corresponding RSRPs that are greater than or equal to a RSRP threshold;
transmitting, to a network entity and based at least in part on a triggering event, first information identifying the set of one or more selected cells and the corresponding RSRPs, the triggering event including a change to the set of one or more selected cells;
receiving, from the network entity and based at least in part on transmitting the first information, second information identifying an updated set of one or more selected cells; and
adding the updated set of one or more selected cells to a cell group of the UE.
