1. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station distributed unit (DU), comprising:
configuring a report for transmission to a base station control unit (CU) that identifies a transmission timing within a radio frame for transmission of one or more cell-defining synchronization signal blocks (CD-SSBs) in a serving cell of the base station DU;
receiving, from the base station CU and in response to the report, an indication that radio resources for transmission of the one or more CD-SSBs in a serving cell of the base station DU are allocated as available for use by the base station DU; and
receiving, from the base station CU, a timing configuration that is based at least in part on the transmission timing within the radio frame for transmission of the one or more CD-SSBs of the report.
