Original Abstract Submitted

certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for slot preconfiguration for coverage enhancement and power saving. an example method performed by a ue includes processing one or more synchronization signals in a first slot according to a first configuration of slot parameters, wherein the synchronization signals are used for at least one of time or frequency tracking, receiving, from a network entity, a second configuration of slot parameters, and processing a physical downlink control channel (pdcch) in a second slot according to the second configuration of slot parameters, wherein the second slot occurs within a configured slot duration that is offset in time from the first slot.
