Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may support beam measurements triggered by a wake-up signal (WUS) and that triggers an active duration of a receiving user equipment (UE). The WUS may trigger the receiving UE to perform a beam sweeping procedure during a beam measurement occasion that immediately preceding the active duration, or the UE may perform the beam sweeping procedure in the WUS resource itself. A UE may perform beam measurement procedures during active durations of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, or outside of active durations of the DRX cycle. A receiving UE may be configured with a timing for performing a beam measurement procedure based on one or more offset values. The timing offset values may indicate a timing during active durations or prior to active durations.
