Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may receive (e.g., from a transmitting device) one or more control messages indicating a first physical resource block (PRB) bundling size for a first set of two or more layers of a downlink shared channel and a second PRB bundling size for a second set of two or more layers of the downlink shared channel. The receiving device may receive a downlink transmission (e.g., a downlink shared channel transmission) that includes multiple codewords, such as a first codeword corresponding to the first set of two or more layers and a second codeword corresponding to the second set of two or more layers. The receiving device may receive the downlink transmission and may decode each codeword based on one or more channel estimates using the first PRB bundling size and the second PRB bundling size.

The UE may receive a control message indicating a first (MCS) value and a first resource associated with a first codeword and a second MCS value and a second resource associated with a second codeword. The UE may monitor the first resource for the first codeword in accordance with one or more first parameters determined by indexing a first MCS table using the first MCS value. The UE may monitor the second resource for the second codeword in accordance with one or more second parameters determined by indexing one of the first MCS table using the second MCS value or a second MCS table using the second MCS value. The UE may decode the first codeword and the second codeword based on monitoring the first resource and the second resource.

The method also includes transmitting, to the network node, a selection message indicating selection of a single multi-slot monitoring configuration from the set of multi-slot monitoring configurations. The method still further includes monitoring the search space for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission in a plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasion groups, each monitoring occasion group comprising a plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasions based on the single multi-slot monitoring configuration.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information indicating a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capability, wherein the PDCCH monitoring capability indicates a minimum length for a group of slots and a maximum number of consecutive slots including at least one search space within the group of slots. The UE may receive a search space set configuration associated with a plurality of search spaces, wherein the search space set configuration is based at least in part on a slot group length that is greater than or equal to the minimum length. The UE may monitor for control information based at least in part on the search space set configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may map a code block to resources, of a physical shared channel, that are allocated for data-modulated demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) in which each of the resources carries both at least a portion of a DMRS sequence and data. The wireless communication device may transmit a communication, via the physical shared channel, that includes the code block that is mapped to the resources that are allocated for the data-modulated DMRSs. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Code block-based resource mapping for transmissions with data-modulated demodulation reference signals

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration that indicates a code-division multiplexing (CDM) group configured for the UE; receive a first indication of an antenna port, included in the CDM group, assigned to the UE for reception of a first set of DMRS transmissions; receive a second indication of whether a second set of DMRS transmissions for another antenna port, included in the CDM group, is present or absent for another UE; and perform channel estimation based at least in part on the first indication of the antenna port and the second indication of whether the second set of DMRS transmissions for the other antenna port is present or absent.

In an aspect, a PDCCH and a PDSCH are transmitted by a BS to a UE, whereby the PDDCH includes a first DCI part and the PDSCH includes a second DCI part. In an example, a TBS associated with the PDSCH may be determined (e.g., either by factoring or ignoring resource elements associated with the second DCI part). In another example, the PDSCH may be associated with a modulation scheme with a constellation having constellation points, whereby the second DCI part in the PDSCH is restricted to a subset of the constellation points. In another example, rate-matching may be performed for one or more resource elements of the second DCI part.

Physical downlink shared channel including part of a downlink control information

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may generate a orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform for transmission to a second wireless device. Generation of an OTFS waveform may include mapping information samples to a delay-Doppler resource grid having a set of delay values and a set of Doppler values. A channel estimation block may occupy one or more rows of the delay-Doppler grid. When mapping information samples to the delay-Doppler grid, the transmitting device may first map information samples in the delay dimension (e.g., first map all of the symbols in one column of the delay-Doppler grid before mapping information samples into a second column). Such a mapping scheme may reduce the distance from any given information sample to the channel estimation block.

Techniques for rate matching order for orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for frequency tracking and timing tracking using wideband reference signals (RSs). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes monitoring for a wideband RS from a network entity when one or more conditions are met, the wideband RS occupying a wider band of frequency resources than a tracking reference signal (TRS) transmitted by the network entity; and performing at least one of frequency tracking or timing tracking based on the monitoring.

Frequency tracking and timing tracking using wideband reference signal(s)

In some designs, UE receives an active BWP SCS value of an active BWP SCS that is 120 kHz or higher, and a reference SCS value of a reference SCS that is the same or lower than the active BWP SCS, and determines a number of consecutive slots in the active BWP associated with the same SFI based on the active BWP SCS value and the reference SCS value. UE and BS communicate on slot(s) of the active BWP based on the active BWP SCS value and the reference SCS value. In some designs, a multi-slot SFI configuration is defined for multiple SFIs.

Slot format indicator configurations

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for enabling user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) to communicate using a set of frequency resources in which a subset of frequency resources include a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS). In one aspect, the UE may measure the PTRS in the subset of frequency resources, and select a phase noise compensation that is used to demodulate a communication from the BS. The subset of frequency resources may be selected from the set frequency resources based on channel conditions of different subsets of frequency resources. The BS may provide an indication of the selected subset of frequency resources to the UE, such as in control information that schedules the communication from the BS.

Frequency selective phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) allocation

Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to limit MCS and/or K1 offset used for communicating with a base station to a threshold based at least in part on an SCS used for the communication. In one aspect, a UE limit at least one of an MCS to being less than or equal to an MCS threshold or a K1 offset to being greater than or equal to a K1 offset threshold based on a subcarrier spacing selected for communication with a base station, the K1 offset being a number of slots between receiving DL data and transmitting ACK/NACK feedback. The UE communicate with the base station based at least on one of the MCS being less than or equal to the MCS threshold or the K1 offset being greater than or equal to the K1 offset threshold.
