  • Publication number: 20250024478
    Abstract: Some techniques described herein provide indication of a preferred scheduling mode for a user equipment (UE) based at least in part on an energy harvesting state of the UE. For example, the preferred scheduling mode may indicate a configured grant scheduling mode or a dynamic grant scheduling mode and/or one or more parameters associated with the preferred scheduling mode. For example, the one or more parameters may be based at least in part on an energy harvesting state of the UE. By indicating the preferred scheduling mode, the UE can selectively perform a transmission using a dynamic grant resource or a configured grant resource. Thus, the UE can request a dynamic grant resource when the UE is associated with a high energy level or a relatively fast charging rate, or a CG resource when the UE is associated with a low energy level ora relatively slow charging rate.
