## Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a scheduling request that indicates full antenna panel availability or partial antenna panel availability. The UE may receive, from the network entity, an uplink grant that schedules an uplink communication in connection with the scheduling request, wherein the uplink grant is based at least in part on the full antenna panel availability or the partial antenna panel availability indicated by the scheduling request. Numerous other aspects are described.
