Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, priority information associated with a first communication beam and a second communication beam. The UE may initiate, with the network node using at least one of the first communication beam or the second communication beam, a small data transmission operation in association with selecting a communication beam according to the priority information. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, individually or collectively configured to cause the UE to:
- receive, from a network node, priority information associated with a first communication beam and a second communication beam;
- and
- initiate, with the network node using at least one of the first communication beam or the second communication beam, a small data transmission operation in association with selecting a communication beam according to the priority information.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, individually or collectively configured to cause the network node to:
