1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
communicating with a network entity within a first coverage area associated with a first wireless cell;
receiving a system information update message that indicates a modification of the first coverage area to a second coverage area associated with the first wireless cell, one or more thresholds comprising at least a synchronization signal-reference signal receive power threshold, and one or more bits that indicate a mapping that associates the synchronization signal-reference signal receive power threshold to the first coverage area or the second coverage area, the one or more thresholds indicating whether the UE is to receive an updated system information message associated with the modification of the first coverage area to the second coverage area of the first wireless cell, or whether the UE is to skip receiving the updated system information message associated with the modification of the first coverage area to the second coverage area of the first wireless cell; and
receiving the updated system information message based at least in part on a measured synchronization signal-reference signal receive power at the UE being less than the synchronization signal-reference signal receive power threshold in accordance with the mapping.
