Some wireless communications systems may support techniques for a user equipment (UE) to select a scheduling request resource from multiple scheduling request resources allocated across different cells based on one or more conditions. The UE may receive control signaling that indicates a first scheduling request resource on a first cell and a second scheduling request resource on a second cell. The UE may generate a scheduling request applicable to the first and second scheduling request resources. The UE may select the first scheduling request resource for transmission of the scheduling request on the first cell based on one or more of a power mode of the UE, a signal metric associated with the first cell, or a numerology of the first cell. The UE may transmit the scheduling request via the first resource on the first cell based on the selecting. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A user equipment (UE), comprising: one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
