Description

TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING USAGE COST INFORMATION CROSS REFERENCES [0001] The present Application for Patent claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 18/343,672 by Hasanzadezonuzy et al., entitled ‘TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING USAGE COST INFORMATION,” filed June 28, 2023, which is assigned to the assignee hereof and which is expressly incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY [0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for sharing usage cost information. BACKGROUND [0003] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g.. time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New7 Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication for communication devices, which may be known as user equipment (UE). SUMMARY [0004] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that enable techniques for sharing usage cost information. Generally, the techniques described herein enable network energy savings based on sharing of usage cost information. A wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), may transmit, to a network entity, a usage cost message indicating usage costs associated with each configuration of the UE. Each configuration may be associated with a quantity of receive beams of the UE and the usage cost message may indicate a first usage cost associated with both a first configuration of the UE and a first quantity of receive beams. The usage cost message may also indicate a second usage cost associated with both a second configuration of the UE and a second quantity of receive beams. Based on the first and second usage costs, the network entity may determine which configuration (e.g., of the first configuration and the second configuration) to configure for the UE bydetermining which configuration may support balancing of energy savings and performance for a wireless communications system including at least the network entity and the UE based on the usage costs (e.g., the first usage cost and the second usage cost) or other factors. Accordingly, the network entity may transmit, to the UE, an indication for the UE to operate according to the first configuration or the second configuration based on the first usage cost and the second usage cost (e.g., based on the determination by the network entity). [0005] A method for wireless communications by a wireless device is described. The method may include transmitting a usage cost message indicating a first usage cost associated with a first set of operating parameters supported by the wireless device and indicating a second usage cost associated with a second set of operating parameters supported by the wireless device, the second set of operating parameters different from the first set of operating parameters, where the first set of operating parameters includes a first quantity of receive beams of the wireless device for operating according to the first set of operating parameters, and where the second set of operating parameters includes a second quantity of receive beams of the wireless device for operating according to the second set of operating parameters and receiving an indication for the wireless device to operate according to one of the first set of operating parameters or the second set of operating parameters based on the first usage cost and the second usage cost. [0006] A wireless device for wireless communications is described. The wireless device may include one or more memories storing processor executable code, and one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories. The one or more processors may individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the wireless device to transmit a usage cost message indicating a first usage cost associated with a first set of operating parameters supported by the wireless device and indicating a second usage cost associated with a second set of operating parameters supported by the wireless device, the second set of operating parameters different from the first set of operating parameters, where the first set of operating parameters includes a first quantity of receive beams of the
