Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to improve control reporting latency are provided. A wireless communication device receives, from a first link in a first time interval, first control information associated with a second link and the first time interval. The wireless communication device transmits, via the second link in the first time interval, a control report associated with the second link based on a report configuration that is independent from the first control information. The report configuration is associated with a waveform type. The wireless communication device receives, from the first link in a second time interval following the first time interval, second control information that is dependent on the control report. The report configuration includes a power headroom (PHR) report configuration. The PHR report configuration includes a reference PHR report configuration. The PHR report configuration includes a delayed PHR report configuration.
