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

identifying one or more UE capabilities in association with different grant characteristics;

transmitting, to a base station, an indication of the one or more UE capabilities; and

receiving, from the base station, a grant having one of the different grant characteristics and including an assignment of resources, the assignment of resources based at least in part on the one or more UE capabilities

wherein the different grant characteristics include a configuration of a wireless communications frame structure or slot in which the grant is to be received.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

building a capability table, wherein the capability table maps UE capabilities and grant characteristics with an index; and

transmitting the capability table to the base station as the indication of a UE capability.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the capability table includes a time when the UE is able to process a grant having one or more of the grant characteristics.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the different grant characteristics include a beam indication, a beam-change indication, a bandwidth-part indication, a bandwidth-part change indication, or any combination thereof.

transmitting the indication of the one or more UE capabilities semi-statically in a form of a UE capability table.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting the indication of the one or more UE capabilities semi-statically in connection with radio resource control (RRC) connection setup procedure or RRC reconfiguration procedure.

21. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting the indication of the one or more UE capabilities via an uplink (UL) control channel from the UE.

22. The method of claim 15 , wherein the indication of the one or more UE capabilities is based at least in part on a history of at least one of one or more timing adjust durations received by the UE, or one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgements or negative acknowledgements received by the UE.

23. The method of claim 15 , wherein the indication of the one or more UE capabilities is based on at least one of a processing mode of the UE, available battery power of the UE, or available processing resources of the UE, and wherein the processing mode of the UE is either a low-latency mode or a relaxed-processing mode.
