Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) comprising instructions to, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations, the operations comprising:
determining, based on one or more selected synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), a set of SSB timing groups in an SSB burst;
generating, based on the set of SSB timing groups, a receiver switching pattern that indicates whether to switch a receiver of the UE to operate at one or more inter-frequency layers associated with a serving cell of the UE with respect to individual SSB timing groups of the set of SSB timing groups; and
switching, based on the receiver switching pattern, the receiver to operate at individual inter-frequency layers of the one or more inter-frequency layers with respect to the individual SSB timing groups for respective SSB measurements in a radio resource control_connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state.
