1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network node, a configuration of a first regulation operating mode for the UE, the first regulation operating mode corresponding to a defined low power indoor (LPI) mode or a defined very low power mode (VLP) and associated with a first transmit power constraint, a first frequency hopping setting, and a first listen-before-talk setting, wherein the first regulation operating mode is different from a second regulation operating mode that corresponds to the defined LPI mode or the defined VLP mode and is associated with a second transmit power constraint, a second frequency hopping setting, and a second listen-before-talk setting;
receiving downlink transmissions from the network node according to the second regulation operating mode; and
performing uplink transmissions to the network node according to the first regulation operating mode.
