1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network device, signaling that indicates a periodicity of beam sweep procedures performed during off-periods of discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles associated with a DRX mode;
monitoring, while operating in the DRX mode, for a first set of wake-up signals transmitted by the network device using a first set of beams during a first on-period of a first DRX cycle, the first set of beams selected as part of a first beam sweep procedure performed during a first off-period of the first DRX cycle in accordance with the indicated periodicity; and
monitoring, while operating in the DRX mode, for a second set of wake-up signals transmitted by the network device using the first set of beams during a second on-period of a second DRX cycle based at least in part on the indicated periodicity.
