1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
receive, from a base station, at least one lean synchronization signal block (SSB), each of the at least one lean SSB being received in one of at least one symbol and each of the at least one lean SSB including a same kind of synchronization signal in each of the at least one symbol;
measure at least one quantity associated with the received at least one lean SSB; and
transmit, to the base station, a measurement report indicating the measured at least one quantity associated with the received at least one lean SSB.
