1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a serving cell, a floating synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for measurement of a target cell, wherein the serving cell and the target cell are asynchronous,
the floating SMTC comprises a duration, periodicity, and timing offset to monitor for SSB transmission by the target cell, and
the offset is configured as a floating offset comprising an initial offset that increments after each unsuccessful SSB monitoring at the floating SMTC periodicity;
determining a measurement gap that covers the floating SMTC; and
monitoring in the determined measurement gap for a SSB transmission of the target cell based on the floating SMTC.
