Applicability reporting and inference configurations for inference procedures

A network node, 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 node to:
• output first control signaling comprising a set of configuration identifiers corresponding to a set of configurations, the first control signaling further comprising one or more indicators that indicate whether one or more respective inference configurations from the set of configurations are for an applicability report;
• obtain the applicability report for one or more configurations of the set of configurations in accordance with the one or more indicators and based at least in part on whether the one or more configurations are applicable for one or more inference procedures, whether the one or more configurations are for inclusion in the applicability report, or both;
• and
• output, based at least in part on the applicability report, second control signaling indicating at least one configuration to be used for the one or more inference procedures, wherein the at least one configuration is from a subset of configurations for the applicability report.

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

• receiving first control signaling comprising a set of configuration identifiers corresponding to a set of configurations, the first control signaling further comprising one or more indicators that indicate whether one or more respective inference configurations from the set of configurations are for an applicability report;
• transmitting the applicability report for one or more configurations of the set of configurations in accordance with the one or more indicators and based at least in part on whether the one or more configurations are applicable for one or more inference procedures, whether the one or more configurations are for inclusion in the applicability report, or both;
• and
• receiving, based at least in part on the applicability report, second control signaling indicating at least one configuration to be used for the one or more inference procedures, wherein the at least one configuration is from a subset of configurations for the applicability report.
