1. A base station, comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio coupled to the antenna; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one radio, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the base station to:
exchange communications with a user equipment device (UE) to determine a scheduling-power profile, wherein the communications include a UE proposal of a scheduling power profile sent to the base station and specifying a constraint on K0 and K2 values, wherein K0 defines a number of slots between a slot scheduled for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a slot scheduled for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and wherein K2 defines a number of slots between a slot scheduled for the PDCCH and a slot scheduled for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
transmit, to the UE, a slot configuration schedule based on the UE proposed scheduling-power profile; and
perform communications with the UE based on the UE proposed scheduling-power profile.
