A method for wireless communication by a network node includes transmitting a first group of frames comprising a group of normal slots and one or more first special slots. The method also includes reconfiguring one or more second special slots within a second group of frames scheduled after the first group of frames based on a block error rate (BLER) associated with the group of normal slots failing to satisfy a BLER condition. The method further includes transmitting the second group of frames based on reconfiguring the one or more second special slots within the second group of frames.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a signal. The UE may measure the signal to explore one or more inactive ranks or inactive precoders. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the measuring, a report that includes channel state information for at least one of the one or more inactive ranks or inactive precoders. Numerous other aspects are described.

Exploration of inactive ranks or inactive precoders

To reduce power consumption, a user equipment (UE) may trigger a microsleep in a subframe when a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) does not include a downlink grant. However, because the microsleep depends on the PDCCH not including a downlink grant, the UE cannot trigger the microsleep until after the PDCCH is decoded. Accordingly, in some aspects, a UE may enable an aggressive extra microsleep in which a microsleep duration may be increased by reducing a PDCCH decode time. For example, a UE may use a stale channel estimate and noise estimate from a previous subframe to perform PDCCH demapping when conditions related to a PDCCH block error rate are satisfied. In this way, removing channel estimation and noise estimation from a PDCCH demapping path may reduce the PDCCH decode time, whereby the UE may trigger a microsleep sooner to increase a sleep ratio and thereby increase power savings.
