Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may wake up, starting at a subframe, based at least in part on a subframe index of a resource cycle and a system frame number (SFN) wraparound offset that accounts for accumulated lengths of a hyper frame. The UE may receive a data burst during the subframe. Numerous other aspects are described.
