8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a control message of the plurality of control messages on the first cell schedules third resources on the second cell.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the signaling is transmitted via at least one of: a downlink control information (DCI), a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), or a radio resource control (RRC) message.
10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein:
the apparatus is configured as a first transmission point;
the one or more processors, individually or collectively, are further configured to execute the instructions and cause the first transmission point to transmit, to the UE, a first control message of the plurality of control messages; and a second control message of the plurality of control message is to be received by the UE via one of the plurality of cells associated with a second transmission point.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors, individually or collectively, are further configured to execute the instructions and cause the first transmission point to:
send, to the second transmission point, channel measurement information to be used for scheduling of fifth resources via the second control message.
12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein:
the plurality of control messages comprise a first control message and a second control message, and
the one or more processors, individually or collectively, are further configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to transmit the first control message, via one of the plurality of cells, indicating fourth resources on another one of the plurality of cells for reception of the second control message.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first control message designates a switch of a control for a resource scheduling from the one of the plurality of cells to the other one of the plurality of cells.
14. A method for wireless communication by a user-equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving signaling indicating a plurality of cells comprising a first cell and a second cell for reception of a plurality of control messages, wherein:
