Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method for providing a wake-up signal to user equipments (UEs) that support multiple multicast sessions may include a base station transmitting configuration information to a UE indicating a wake-up signal configuration for one or more multicast sessions. Accordingly, the UE may monitor the one or more multicast sessions for a wake-up signal and receive, prior to an active duration of a multicast session, a wake-up signal from the base station. The wake-up signal may include control signaling indicating to the UE which of a set of multicast sessions the UE is to monitor. The UE may determine which multicast sessions to monitor based on the received control signaling.
