1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network entity, an indication to multiplex a UE-specific reference signal (UE-RS) with one or more broadcast messages, wherein the UE-RS includes a tracking reference signal (TRS) and/or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein
the indication to multiplex the UE-RS corresponds to puncturing of the one or more broadcast messages for the UE-RS for at least one of an idle or inactive mode of the UE, and
one or more resource elements (REs) of the one or more broadcast messages that correspond to one or more REs of the UE-RS are replaced by the UE-RS;
monitoring for the one or more broadcast messages during the at least one of the idle or inactive mode of the UE; and
decoding the one or more broadcast messages based at least on one or more UE-RS.
