Description

DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF MEASUREMENT REPORTING CHARACTERISTICS CROSS REFERENCE [0001] The present Application for Patent claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 18/345,055 by SAKHNINI et al., entitled ‘DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF MEASUREMENT REPORTING CHARACTERISTICS,” filed June 30, 2023, which is assigned to the assignee hereof and expressly incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY [0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including dynamic adjustment of measurement reporting characteristics such as measurement period or resource indicator size. BACKGROUND [0003] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various ty pes 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 New 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 transfomi 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). [0004] A UE may transmit measurement reports to a network entity based on measurements of reference signals, and the measurement reports may include an indication of measurement values associated with a set of beams for communications by the UE with the network entity. In some cases, the UE may transmit the measurement reports with a periodicity indicated or configured by the network entity, and the UE may indicate the one or more beams using an indicator having a configured indicator size. In some cases, measurement reports may result in more overhead than may be necessary. Reducing the overhead associated with the measurement reports may prove challenging, however, as reduced overhead reporting may not provide sufficient information to the network entity, for example, if some conditions associated with the UE change. SUMMARY [0005] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support dynamic adjustment of measurement reporting characteristics. For example, the described techniques provide for a UE to receive a message indicating a set of measurement report occasions for transmission of measurement reports. The measurement report occasions may be associated with a first periodicity betw een measurement report occasions, and the measurement reports may be associated with a first indicator size for reporting indicators of one or more of a plurality7 of beams transmitted by a network entity. The UE may measure reference signals associated with the measurement reports to determine one or more potential beams for communications with the netw ork entity7. The UE may transmit a measurement report including one or more indicators, each indicator corresponding to each of the one or more potential beams, and each indicator may have a second indicator size smaller than the first indicator size based on the quantity of the one or more potential beams. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may transmit measurement reports with a second periodicity different from the first periodicity based on a reporting metric being within a first value range of a set of value ranges. [0006] A method for w ireless communications by a UE is described. The method may include receiving a message indicating a set of measurement report occasions associated with a first periodicity betw een measurement report occasions of the set of measurement report occasions, measuring a set of multiple reference signals associated with a first subset of the set of measurement report occasions, and transmitting a set of multiple measurement reports during the first subset of the set of measurement report occasions with a second periodicity different from the first periodicity, where the second periodicity is based on a reporting metric being within a first value range of a set of value ranges. [0007] A UE for wireless communications is described. The UE 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 UE to receive a message indicating a set of measurement report occasions associated with a first periodicity between measurement report occasions of the set of measurement report occasions
