1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a first base station, control signaling indicating one or more frequency bands on which one or more neighbor base stations operate that are associated with a first geographic location of the first base station;
performing, based at least in part on the control signaling, a frequency scanning procedure using at least one frequency band of the one or more frequency bands to select a first neighbor base station of the one or more neighbor base stations;
establishing connectivity with the first neighbor base station based at least in part on the frequency scanning procedure; and
identifying one or more additional frequency bands other than the one or more frequency bands indicated via the control signaling based at least in part on querying an acquisition database indicating one or more base stations with which the UE previously established connectivity corresponding to the first geographic location, wherein the frequency scanning procedure is performed using at least one frequency band of the one or more additional frequency bands.
