A method, in a wireless device, for operating in a wireless communications network, 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; and while scanning for synchronization signals and/or system information signals: performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from 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; evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are not measured or demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources; wherein the method further comprises: receiving, in a first downlink subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM, transmission formatted according to a first numerology; and receiving, in a second downlink subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. 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; and while scanning for synchronization signals and/or system information signals: performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from 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; evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are not measured or demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources; performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from 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; evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are not measured or demodulated and decoded; and deactivating the activated receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met for one of the resources; receiving, in a first downlink subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM, transmission formatted according to a first numerology; and receiving, in a second downlink subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology.
