Self-adapting autonomous transmission configuration

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration that includes at least one of a modulation and coding scheme or resources for autonomous uplink transmissions or autonomous downlink transmissions;
• transmit, to the UE, an indication of a window of time during which the UE monitors for occurrence of a trigger event that triggers autonomous adjustment of the configuration;
• detect the occurrence of the trigger event based at least in part on identifying that a retransmission of an autonomous uplink transmission or an autonomous downlink transmission occurred during the window of time;
• adjust the configuration based at least in part on detecting the occurrence of the trigger event during the indicated window of time, wherein adjusting the configuration comprises autonomously increasing or decreasing the modulation and coding scheme for the autonomous communications or the resources to be used for transmitting the autonomous uplink transmissions or for monitoring the autonomous downlink transmissions;
• and
• communicate with the UE using the adjusted modulation and coding scheme or resources.
