1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving an allocation from a base station (BS) including at least one symbol beam switching gap based, at least in part, on a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the UE, wherein receiving the allocation from the BS for the at least one symbol beam switching gap comprises:
detecting one or more grants from the BS;
determining the at least one symbol beam switching gap is not allocated in time domain resources allocated by a first grant when there is another grant that indicates the same beam is used for adjacent time domain resources after the time domain resources allocated by the first grant; and
determining the at least one symbol beam switching gap is allocated in the time domain resources allocated by the first grant when:
there is another grant that indicates a different beam is used for the adjacent time domain resources after the time domain resources allocated by the first grant, or
no other grant is received to allocate the time domain resources after the adjacent time domain resources allocated by the first grant; and
communicating with the BS using the allocation.
