1. A method for wireless communication at a station (STA), comprising:
receiving a first signal including an indication of a set of frequency channels for a set of target wake time sessions that recur according to a service interval, the first signal indicating a respective frequency channel of the set of frequency channels for each target wake time session of the set of target wake time sessions, each target wake time session of the set of target wake time sessions having an associated service period during which the STA is expected to be in an awake state;
switching, for a first target wake time session of the set of target wake time sessions, from a first frequency channel indicated by the first signal to a second frequency channel in accordance with a frequency hopping pattern associated with the first target wake time session; and
communicating a second signal during a service period associated with the first target wake time session over the second frequency channel based at least in part on the switching.
