## Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a configuration associated with channel measurement resources (CMRs). The UE may perform downlink channel measurements associated with the CMRs, wherein the downlink channel measurements are associated with one or more time instances. The UE may store the downlink channel measurements associated with the one or more time instances for a period of time at the UE. The UE may transmit, to the network entity and based at least in part on a request, at least a portion of the downlink channel measurements associated with the one or more time instances. Numerous other aspects are described.
