Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an energy harvesting (EH) device may receive a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration that indicates a DRX on-duration for data communication and an EH configuration that indicates a reserved EH duration during which the first device harvests energy and does not transmit or receive data. The DRX on-duration and the reserved EH duration may be part of a periodic cycle. The EH device may perform data communication during the DRX on-duration. The EH device may switch one or more antennas of the first device to an EH mode and perform EH during the reserved EH duration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE). The UE may generate a delay status report (DSR) for at least two traffic flows on different logical channels. The at least two traffic flows have a maximum synchronization threshold between each other. The DSR may include at least one remaining delay budget (RDB) parameter related to an RDB of at least one of a first traffic flow or a second traffic flow and the maximum synchronization threshold.

Abstract: New radio (NR) power headroom report (PHR) design for millimeter wave (mmWave) deployment is discussed. The power control process for mmWave may include beam-specific periodic PHR reporting and user equipment (UE)-specific event-trigger PHR reporting. The periodic PHR reporting may either provide a single PHR that includes power headroom information for each of the serving beams, or the UE may be configured to measure and report PHR for different beams in different slots. When reporting a single PHR with power headroom information for multiple serving beams, a beam index may be included in the reserved bits of the PHR. For the event-trigger PHR, the PHR reported based on a detected event trigger may provide power headroom information only for the current serving beam, or for all serving beams.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasion skipping uplink control information (UCI) on more than one transmit occasion of a configured grant (CG). For example, the PUSCH occasion skipping UCI may be associated with a priority, and the UE may multiplex the PUSCH occasion skipping UCI with a PUSCH transmission when the UE does not identify another UCI with a higher priority than the PUSCH occasion skipping UCI to multiplex with the PUSCH transmission. In some examples, the priority of the PUSCH occasion skipping UCI may decrease over time (e.g., with each successive slot). In some examples, the UE may identify a gap period, and may transmit a new PUSCH occasion skipping UCI when the gap period has passed.
