1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
measure a respective interference level for each symbol index of a plurality of symbol indexes of a physical resource block structure;
transmit an indication of a rate matching pattern based at least in part on the respective interference level measurements, the indicated rate matching pattern comprising a pattern of resources associated with a downlink transmission, and the indicated rate matching pattern comprising a first rate matching pattern for a first subset of the plurality of symbol indexes of the physical resource block structure and a second rate matching pattern for a second subset of the plurality of symbol indexes of the physical resource block structure; and
receive the downlink transmission based at least in part on the indicated rate matching pattern.
