Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for user equipment (UE) idle mode operations. In embodiments, a UE wakes up more than once during a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle. Inter-frequency measurement requirements may be relaxed based on DRX cycle length. Some embodiments include radiofrequency (RF) circuitry warm-up overhead reduction by on-duration separation with RF circuitry switching pattern adaption. Some embodiments include and RF circuitry warm-up overhead reduction by adaptive synchronization signal block (SSB) reference symbol down-selection. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
