  • the network and the UE may be configured to use additional bands (e.g., three or four bands) . Accordingly, the network may configure the UE for more flexible uplink transmission switching cases. For example, the network may configure the UE with a band pair, out of the three or four bands, for performing uplink transmission switching. However, the UE may not support uplink transmission switching for all possible band pairs. The network may therefore indicate an unsupported band pair, which increases latency and reduces throughput from the UE to the network. Additionally, power and processing resources are wasted because the UE will be unable to transmit according to the indication from the network, such that the network will transmit a new indication after failing to receive and decode transmissions from the UE.
  • additional bands e.g., three or four bands
  • Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable a UE (e.g., UE 120) to report which band pairs are supported for uplink transmission switching. Accordingly, a network (e.g., via network node 110) may refrain from instructing the UE 120 to use an unsupported band pair. As a result, latency is reduced, and throughput is increased; additionally, power and processing resources are conserved because the network may continue to successfully receive and decode transmissions from the UE 120. Additionally, the UE 120 may report a switching period associated with reconfiguring from a first band pair to a second band pair. Accordingly, the network may refrain from transmitting to the UE 120, or instructing the UE 120 to transmit, during a switching period. As a result, power and processing resources are conserved because transmissions during the switching period would usually be retransmitted.
