Multi-beam techniques for small data transfer over preconfigured uplink resources

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor and storing processor-readable code that, when executed by the at least one processor in conjunction with at least one modem, is configured to:
• receive an indication of at least one preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) allocated for uplink communication when the UE does not have a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a network entity, wherein the at least one PUR includes one or more distinct PUR occasions, wherein each of the one or more distinct PUR occasions is associated with different time resources;
• receive an indication of one or more different synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) respectively associated with the one or more distinct PUR occasions;
• and
• transmit information during a first PUR occasion, of the one or more distinct PUR occasions, that is associated with a first SSB, of the one or more different SSBs, that is associated with a reference signal received power (RSRP) that is greater than a threshold.

A method for wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting an indication of at least one preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) allocated for uplink communication when a user equipment (UE) does not have a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the network entity, wherein the at least one PUR includes one or more distinct PUR occasions, wherein each of the one or more distinct PUR occasions is associated with different time resources;
• transmitting an indication of one or more different synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) respectively associated with the one or more distinct PUR occasions;
• and
• receiving information during a first PUR occasion, of the one or more distinct PUR occasions, that is associated with a first SSB, of the one or more different SSBs, that is associated with a reference signal received power (RSRP) that is greater than a threshold.
