A method, in a wireless device, for operating in a wireless communications network in which the UE receives, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM, transmission formatted according to a first numerology; and receives, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology with the second numerology differing from the first numerology, the method comprising: operating in a dormant mode, wherein operating in the dormant mode comprises intermittently activating receiver circuitry to scan for synchronization signals and/or system information signals, the synchronization signals and/or system information signals being associated with a predetermined set of resources where the resources in the predetermined set of resources are each defined by one or more of a beam, a timing, and a frequency; and during a period of operation in the dormant mode when the receiver circuitry is activated for scanning for the synchronization signals and/or system information signals, performing at least one iteration, each iteration comprising: performing a measurement on or demodulating and decoding information from a respective resource from the predetermined set of resources; and evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for the respective resource against a predetermined criterion; wherein if the predetermined criterion for the respective resource is met for any of the at least one iteration: discontinuing the performing at least one iteration such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to the predetermined criterion for the respective resource being met. operating in a dormant mode, wherein operating in the dormant mode comprises intermittently activating receiver circuitry to scan for synchronization signals and/or system information signals, the synchronization signals and/or system information signals being associated with a predetermined set of resources where the resources in the predetermined set of resources are each defined by one or more of a beam, a timing, and a frequency; and during a period of operation in the dormant mode when the receiver circuitry is activated for scanning for the synchronization signals and/or system information signals, performing at least one iteration, each iteration comprising: performing a measurement on or demodulating and decoding information from a respective resource from the predetermined set of resources; and evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for the respective resource against a predetermined criterion; wherein if the predetermined criterion for the respective resource is met for any of the at least one iteration: discontinuing the performing at least one iteration such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to the predetermined criterion for the respective resource being met. performing a measurement on or demodulating and decoding information from a respective resource from the predetermined set of resources; and evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for the respective resource against a predetermined criterion; wherein if the predetermined criterion for the respective resource is met for any of the at least one iteration: discontinuing the performing at least one iteration such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to the predetermined criterion for the respective resource being met.
