Techniques for adaptive packet data convergence protocol duplication

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• establish one or more communication links with a user equipment (UE), wherein each communication link comprises a respective bearer;
• communicate, with the UE, a first plurality of packets via the one or more communication links;
• and
• obtain, from the UE, a message associated with configuration of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication on the respective bearers of one or more of a second plurality of packets to be communicated via the one or more communication links.

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

• establishing one or more communication links with a network entity, wherein each communication link comprises a respective bearer;
• communicating, with the network entity, a first plurality of packets via the one or more communication links;
• monitoring one or more metrics associated with the first plurality of packets;
• and
• transmitting, to the network entity, a message associated with configuration of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication on the respective bearers of one or more of a second plurality of packets to be communicated via the one or more communication links, wherein the message is based at least in part on the one or more metrics.
