1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), including:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, configured to:
measure a first measurement on a first serving cell or a first serving beam using a first measurement configuration with a higher gain and a higher power consumption than a second measurement configuration;
measure a second measurement on one or more neighbor cells or one or more non-serving beams using the second measurement configuration with a lower gain and a lower power consumption than the first measurement configuration, the second measurement configuration being different than the first measurement configuration; and
perform at least one of:
transmit a measurement report to a network node based on the first measurement and the second measurement,
select a second serving cell or a second serving beam based on the first measurement and the second measurement based on a rank, or
rank cells or beams based on the first measurement and the second measurement.
