Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive, from a base station, downlink control information that indicates a wakeup signal for a broadcast or multicast (broadcast/multicast) session in a session-specific field of the downlink control information. The user equipment may selectively perform, for the broadcast/multicast session, a wakeup operation for a discontinuous reception cycle based at least in part on the wakeup signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
