Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network node, a supported channel latency indication that indicates a supported channel latency for time domain equalization by the UE. The UE may receive, from the network node, a downlink communication based at least in part on the supported channel latency indication. Numerous other aspects are described.
