Handling overlapped communications

A method for wireless communication at a first wireless node, comprising:

• identifying a first signal to be communicated at a second wireless node using a first beam pair link (BPL);
• identifying a second signal to be communicated at the second wireless node or a third wireless node using a second BPL;
• identifying a misalignment between a first timing advance value for the first BPL and a second timing advance value for the second BPL, the misalignment to cause an overlap in time between the first signal and the second signal if the first signal is scheduled during a first time duration and the second signal is scheduled during a second time duration;
• and
• scheduling the first signal and the second signal to eliminate at least a portion of the overlap in time.

An apparatus for wireless communication, at a first wireless node 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:
• identify a first signal that is scheduled to be communicated at the first wireless node during a first time duration using a first beam pair link (BPL);
• identify a second signal that is scheduled to be communicated at the first wireless node during a second time duration using a second BPL;
• identify a misalignment between a first timing advance value for the first BPL and a second timing advance value for the second BPL, the misalignment causing an overlap in time between the first signal scheduled during the first time duration and the second signal scheduled during the second time duration;
• determine whether to drop a portion of the second signal;
• and
• communicate the first signal and a remaining portion of the second signal based at least in part on the determining.

• and
• schedule the first signal and the second signal to eliminate at least a portion of the overlap in time.
