Techniques for user equipment (UE) assisted uplink resource modification in a wireless communication system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer code executable by a processor for wireless communications comprising code for:

• identifying an upcoming absence of uplink data for transmission on an uplink communication channel to a network entity during a period defined by a configured grant;
• and
• transmitting a message including adjustment information of at least one resource associated with the configured grant to the network entity, the message triggering adjustment of the at least one resource associated with the configured grant based on identifying the absence of uplink data for transmission on the uplink communication channel, wherein the message including the adjustment information is transmitted on a subsequent scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission associated with the configured grant after a Layer 1 indication is transmitted on a current PUSCH, the Layer 1 indication corresponding to a distinct indication represented by a number of bits or a scrambling code used to scramble the current PUSCH.
