Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating one or more uplink occasions. The UE may transmit an indication of one or more unused uplink occasions of the one or more uplink occasions. The UE may transmit an uplink communication using resources associated with at least one unused uplink occasion of the one or more unused uplink occasions. Numerous other aspects are described.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive configuration information indicating one or more uplink occasions;
- transmit an indication of one or more unused uplink occasions of the one or more uplink occasions;
- and
- transmit, subsequent to the indication, an uplink communication that reclaims at least one unused uplink occasion of the one or more unused uplink occasions by use of resources allocated for the at least one unused uplink occasion.
A network node for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- transmit configuration information, for a user equipment (UE), indicating one or more uplink occasions;
- receive an indication of one or more unused uplink occasions, of the one or more uplink occasions, associated with the UE;
- and
- receive, subsequent to the indication, an uplink communication, associated with the UE, that reclaims at least one unused uplink occasion of the one or more unused uplink occasions by use of resources allocated for the at least one unused uplink occasion.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving configuration information indicating one or more uplink occasions;
- transmitting an indication of one or more unused uplink occasions of the one or more uplink occasions;
- and
- transmitting, subsequent to the indication, an uplink communication that reclaims at least one unused uplink occasion of the one or more unused uplink occasions by use of resources allocated for the at least one unused uplink occasion.
A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:
- transmitting configuration information, for a user equipment (UE), indicating one or more uplink occasions;
- receiving an indication of one or more unused uplink occasions, of the one or more uplink occasions, associated with the UE;
- and
- receiving, subsequent to the indication, an uplink communication, associated with the UE, that reclaims at least one unused uplink occasion of the one or more unused uplink occasions by use of resources allocated for the at least one unused uplink occasion.
