Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may measure a channel state information reference signal for a downlink cell associated with a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The UE may report measurement information associated with channel state information reference signal using an uplink cell of a second PUCCH group associated with the first PUCCH group. Numerous other aspects are described.

13 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the measurement of the channel state information reference signal for the downlink cell associated with the first PUCCH group is associated with the channel state information report, and wherein the channel state information report is on at least one PUCCH or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of at least one of the first PUCCH group or the second PUCCH group.

14 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein a report of at least one measurement of at least one channel state information reference signal for at least one downlink cell in at least one of the first PUCCH group or the second PUCCH group is reported on a physical uplink shared channel of an uplink cell associated with the first PUCCH group, wherein a hybrid automatic repeat request feedback message for the downlink cell is multiplexed with the report on the physical uplink shared channel of the uplink cell associated with the first PUCCH group.

15 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

drop at least one communication in connection with reporting the measurement information.

16 . The UE of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors, to drop the at least one communication, are configured to:

drop the at least one communication based at least in part on a PUCCH group of the at least one communication.

17 . A network node for wireless communication, comprising:
