Advanced receiver diversity trigger for extended reality

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

• obtaining, via an application program interface, an indication of an application type of an application at the UE and information including an indication of performance requirements associated with the application, an indication of a traffic type associated with the application, an indication of whether the performance requirements are being met, an indication of quality of service (QoS) information associated with a packet data unit (PDU) session established for communication by the application, an indication of a network slice associated with the PDU session, an indication of a power consumption of the UE, an indication of whether a power budget of the UE is being met, or any combination thereof;
• and
• communicating one or more wireless signals via a subset of a plurality of antennas of the UE, wherein the subset of the plurality of antennas is activated for communication of the one or more wireless signals based at least in part on the application type being associated with an extended reality (XR) environment and the information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• obtain, via an application program interface, an indication of an application type of an application at a user equipment (UE) and information including an indication of performance requirements associated with the application, an indication of a traffic type associated with the application, an indication of whether the performance requirements are being met, an indication of quality of service (QoS) information associated with a packet data unit (PDU) session established for communication by the application, an indication of a network slice associated with the PDU session, an indication of a power consumption of the UE, an indication of whether a power budget of the UE is being met, or any combination thereof;
• and
• communicate one or more wireless signals via a subset of a plurality of antennas of the UE, wherein the subset of the plurality of antennas is activated for communication of the one or more wireless signals based at least in part on the application type being associated with an extended reality (XR) environment and the information.
