Techniques for adapting communications upon channel unreliability event

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• communicate one or more messages with a user equipment (UE) in accordance with a first antenna configuration at the UE, a first set of resources, or both;
• receive, from the UE, capability signaling indicating a capability of the UE to adjust the first antenna configuration, the first set of resources, or both, for channel reliability management;
• transmit, to the UE based at least in part on the capability signaling, control signaling indicating one or more parameters for channel unreliability event detection associated with a downlink channel between the base station and the UE;
• and
• communicate one or more additional messages with the UE in accordance with a second antenna configuration at the UE, a second set of resources, or both, based at least in part on a channel unreliability event detected in accordance with the one or more parameters.

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

• communicating one or more messages with a base station in accordance with a first antenna configuration, a first set of resources, or both;
• transmitting, to the base station, capability signaling indicating a capability of the UE to adjust the first antenna configuration, the first set of resources, or both, for channel reliability management;
• receiving, from the base station based at least in part on the capability signaling, control signaling indicating one or more parameters for channel unreliability event detection associated with a downlink channel between the base station and the UE;
• and
• communicating one or more additional messages with the base station in accordance with a second antenna configuration, a second set of resources, or both, based at least in part on a channel unreliability event detected in accordance with the one or more parameters.
