Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may calculate one or more parameters associated with a quality of communications between the UE and a base station. The UE may determine a bitrate for performing the communications based on the one or more calculated parameters prior to receiving a bitrate recommendation from the base station, and the UE may transmit, prior to receiving the bitrate recommendation from the base station, a request to perform the communications in accordance with the determined bitrate. The base station may determine whether to accept the requested bitrate, and perform the communications with the UE in accordance with the determination.

Techniques for configuring a bitrate request

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques transmitting a recommended bit rate query. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes participating in a voice call with a base station using a channel and a bit rate for the voice call, measuring one or more channel quality metrics for the channel during the voice call, determining whether to transmit a query message to the base station to request a change in the bit rate based, at least in part, on the measured one or more channel quality metrics, at least one of a handover indication received from the base station or a change mode request received from the base station, and a prohibit timer, and taking one or more actions based on the determination.
