1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, at a plurality of radio frequency (RF) bands, one or more synchronization signal (SS) blocks from a base station, each of the one or more SS blocks being received at a respective RF band, wherein the one or more SS blocks comprise a first SS sequence or a second SS sequence;
identifying, concurrent with or after receiving the one or more SS blocks, a request from the base station to transmit an indication of the respective RF band of a preferred SS block of the one or more SS blocks based at least in part on a determination that the one or more SS blocks comprise the first SS sequence or the second SS sequence;
determining, in response to the request, the preferred SS block of the one or more SS blocks based at least in part on a signal strength of the one or more SS blocks; and
transmitting, to the base station, the indication of the respective RF band of the preferred SS block based at least in part on the request.
