1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
identifying a carrier bandwidth for communicating a wideband communication with a network entity;
transmitting control information indicative of a capability of the UE to communicate the wideband communication with the network entity over a plurality of sub-bands spanning the carrier bandwidth, wherein the control information identifies one or more of the plurality of sub-bands that the UE prefers to be used in communicating with the network entity, wherein the one or more of the plurality of sub-bands are based at least in part on at least one of a center frequency of a frequency range used by the UE or an element spacing associated with an antenna of the UE;
receiving, from the network entity, a configuration for communicating with the network entity in the carrier bandwidth using a plurality of sub-band based communications that are over the plurality of sub-bands spanning the carrier bandwidth; and
communicating with the network entity in the carrier bandwidth using the one or more of the plurality of sub-bands in accordance with the configuration.
