Fast user equipment reconfiguration signaling in wireless communication

A network entity of a wireless network, comprising:

• a communication interface configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE);
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor operatively coupled with the communication interface and the memory,
• wherein the at least one processor and the memory are configured to:
• transmit a plurality of connection configurations to the UE, each of the connection configurations comprising a respective index, baseline configuration, and value tag;
• select a first connection configuration for the UE among the plurality of connection configurations;
• and
• transmit a reconfiguration message to the UE, the reconfiguration message comprising the index and the value tag of the first connection configuration.

A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a plurality of connection configurations from a network, each of the connection configurations comprising a respective index, baseline configuration, and value tag;
• receiving a reconfiguration message from the network, the reconfiguration message comprising the index and the value tag of a first connection configuration of the plurality of connection configurations;
• and
• reconfiguring one or more connections with the network based on the first connection configuration.
