A user equipment (UE) may determine whether a first subset of a first set of uplink channel transmission repetitions overlaps with a downlink transmission and determine whether to transmit a second subset of the first set of uplink channel transmission repetitions when the first subset overlaps with the downlink transmission. In some aspects, the second subset includes one or more uplink channel transmission repetitions that do not overlap with the downlink transmission. The UE may transmit, to a base station over an uplink channel, a second set of uplink channel transmission repetitions having the first subset and the second subset of the first set of uplink channel transmission repetitions when the second subset is determined to be transmitted. Thus, the reliability of uplink repetitions can be increased.

In accordance with the determining, the UE may transmit at least one of the first feedback message or the second feedback message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reporting content processing times to a base station to allow the base station to efficiently schedule bi-directional communications one or more UEs. A content processing time may correspond to the time taken by a UE to process one or more downlink signals received in one or more downlink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may report a content processing time for each downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may report one or more content processing times for multiple downlink transmissions. The base station may use the content processing times to configure an appropriate gap between downlink and uplink transmissions such that the UE may have sufficient time to process downlink signals before transmitting one or more uplink transmissions in response to the one or more downlink transmissions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may fail to successfully receive (e.g., fail to receive, or decode) a downlink transmission. In order to suggest a solution for the reception issue to a base station, the UE may detect a reason for the failed reception. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication that the UE failed to decode the transmission and may receive, in response, a grant for transmission of a channel state information (CSI) report including resources allocated for an indication of the error reason. The UE may use these resources to indicate the error reason to the base station, and the base station may perform a radio link adaptation action to mitigate the error based on the error reason. In some examples, the UE may suggest the radio link adaptation action to the base station.
