1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a scheduling configuration for a first uplink communication to be transmitted on a first uplink carrier, a second uplink communication to be transmitted on a second uplink carrier after the first uplink communication, and a third uplink communication to be transmitted on a third uplink carrier after the second uplink communication, wherein a timing relationship between the first uplink communication and the third uplink communication is in accordance with a consecutive uplink switching rule, and wherein the consecutive uplink switching rule limits a quantity of consecutive uplink switches that occur within a slot of the first uplink carrier, the second uplink carrier, or the third uplink carrier to one; and
transmitting at least one of the first uplink communication, the second uplink communication, or the third uplink communication, or a combination thereof based at least in part on the scheduling configuration and the consecutive uplink switching rule.
