1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, in a system comprising:
one or more processors; and
instructions stored in one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors, individually or collectively, to cause the apparatus to:
receive an indication of a user equipment (UE) capability from a UE;
transmit a timing configuration to the UE based at least in part on the UE capability, the timing configuration comprising either a first timing configuration or a second timing configuration for communications with the UE, the first timing configuration including a first time difference between a downlink communication and a responsive uplink communication, the downlink communication being a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission, the responsive uplink communication being one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions, and the second timing configuration including a second time difference between the downlink communication and the responsive uplink communication, the second time difference being less than the first time difference; and
receive a responsive uplink communication from the UE according to either the first timing configuration or the second timing configuration.
