Techniques for narrowband transmissions with finer granularity of reserved resources. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a configuration indicating first resource elements (REs) reserved from being used for narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) transmissions in a subframe; determining second REs, in the subframe, for narrowband reference signals (NRSs), based on the configuration; and processing the NRSs on the second REs in the subframe.

Narrowband transmissions with finer granularity of reserved resources

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a duration of a first gap that precedes a reference signal, based at least in part on a polarization of the reference signal. The UE may determine a duration of a second gap that succeeds the reference signal, based at least in part on the polarization of the reference signal. The UE may perform a measurement of the reference signal based at least in part on the first gap and the second gap. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Measurement of reference signal with polarization

A method for wireless communication by a wireless device includes receiving a first bit sequence and a second bit sequence from an upper layer of a wireless communication protocol stack. The first bit sequence is assigned a first class and the second bit sequence is assigned a second class. The second bit sequence is included in a same medium access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) as the first bit sequence. The method also includes processing, at a physical layer, the first bit sequence with a first quality of service (QoS) level, and the second bit sequence with a second QoS level that is different from the first QoS level.

Radio access network (RAN) enhancement for unequal error protection (UEP)

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information indicating whether hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is disabled for one or more HARQ processes. The UE may receive a downlink communication. The downlink communication may include a HARQ process identifier that indicates a HARQ process to be used for the downlink communication. The UE may selectively provide HARQ feedback for the downlink communication based at least in part on the HARQ identifier and information indicating whether HARQ feedback is disabled for the HARQ process. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Disabling hybrid automatic repeat request feedback

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station in a wireless communications system. The UE may perform a random access procedure to communicate with the base station. The base station may configure the UE with different sets of preamble parameters for different types of UEs. The UE may generate a random access preamble based on the sets of preamble parameters according to the type of the UE. The base station may indicate a location of the base station to the UE. The UE may identify a location of the UE. The UE may determine a pre-compensation timing based on a distance from the two locations. The UE and the base station may transmit subsequent communication according to the random access preamble, the pre-compensation timing, or any combination thereof.

Flexible random access channel configurations

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for indicating a user equipment (UE) preferred paging carrier. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a UE generally includes generating a cell measurement report, transmitting the cell measurement report to a network entity, transmitting, to the network entity, an indicator of a preferred paging carrier, and monitoring paging occasions (POs) in at least the preferred paging carrier.

Indication of preferred paging carrier

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive first control signaling indicating a configuration associated with a target network node in a non-terrestrial network. The configuration may include a first UE-group configuration and a UE-specific configuration including integrity information for the first UE-group configuration. The UE may perform a connection operation based on a trust status of the first UE-group configuration.

Managing group configurations in wireless communications systems

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information indicating a capability of the UE to receive multicast communications while operating in an inactive state. The UE may receive, from a first cell, configuration information that indicates a common frequency resource (CFR) associated with receiving multicast communications from the first cell while operating in the inactive state. The UE may receive, from the first cell, multicast mobility information associated with receiving multicast communications from one or more neighboring cells while operating in the inactive state. The UE may receive, while operating in the inactive state, one or more multicast communications from at least one of the first cell or a second cell based at least in part on at least one of the configuration information or the multicast mobility information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Configuration of multicast reception and mobility for user equipment in an inactive state

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a loss of coherence associated with the UE. The UE may perform at least one adjustment to a transmission parameter or a reception parameter based at least in part on the indication of the loss of coherence. For example, the adjustment to the transmission parameter may include adjusting a transmit power, adjusting a transmit frequency, adapting a transmission time, changing an antenna port, or a combination thereof. Additionally, or alternatively, the adjustment to the reception parameter may include refraining from joint channel estimation across a plurality of slots, adjusting a downscaling parameter or a frequency tuning associated with at least one reception antenna, refraining from blind decoding, or a combination thereof. Numerous other aspects are described.

Indicating a loss of coherence in a wireless network

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, in which a communication device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a network entity) may perform carrier aggregation, and cross-carrier scheduling provides that a first carrier may provide scheduling information for one or more other carriers, in which the one or more other carriers may have different discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations than the first carrier. One or more DRX-related timers of different DRX groups may be started or restarted based on a control information reception on the first carrier, or on a different carrier of a different DRX group. Additionally, or alternatively, control information transmissions on the first carrier may be provided based on one or more DRX-related timers that are associated with the first carrier, or that are associated with a carrier of another DRX group than the DRX group of the first carrier, or any combinations thereof.

Cross-carrier scheduling techniques for multiple discontinuous reception groups

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling, such as a control message or radio resource control (RRC) signaling, from a base station indicating a time interval over which to determine available power headroom relative to a transmission power threshold. The UE may calculate the available power headroom relative to the transmission power threshold as a function of UE transmission power during the time interval. The UE may transmit a power headroom report in an uplink transmission to the base station, the power headroom report indicating the calculated available power headroom. The base station may schedule one or more uplink messages at the UE according to the available power headroom.

Power headroom reporting for dynamic power aggregation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Described techniques provide for mitigating error in time or frequency adjustments for preambles of a random access procedure. A user equipment may use one value for the adjustment when transmitting data to a non-terrestrial network, but then transmit the preamble of a random access procedure according to a preamble-specific time or frequency adjustment based on one or more indications received from the network (e.g., rather than resetting the adjustment to '0'). By using some signaled value for the preamble-specific timing or frequency adjustment rather than resetting the adjustment to “0,” preamble reception performance may be maintained or improved with as many or fewer position measurements for the UE or non-terrestrial network entity.

Closed loop time and frequency corrections in non-terrestrial networks

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to monitor search spaces on a primary cell and an secondary cell in a carrier aggregation configuration. The UE may monitor the search spaces for control information according to a shared search space monitoring configuration. Based on the shared search space monitoring configuration, the UE may identify that the secondary cell is a scheduling cell and the primary cell is a scheduled cell (e.g., cross-carrier scheduling). The UE may monitor control channel candidates of search spaces on the primary cell and on the secondary cell for downlink control information messages scheduling data transmissions with the primary cell. In some examples, the cross-carrier scheduled communications may be configured according to a scheduling configuration, which may include one or more scheduling constraints.

Techniques for cross-carrier scheduling from a secondary cell to a primary cell

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for identifying a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) independently of a channel quality indicator (CQI) table that is configured at a user equipment (UE). A rate matching parameter may be determined based on one or more of the MCS or CQI table, which may be used for dimensioning a soft buffer that is used to store received transmissions for decoding. The MCS field may be a six-bit field and may indicate an MCS that exceeds a highest MCS associated with the CQI table. The base station may activate a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration at the UE through an activation command, and the UE may verify that SPS is activated based on information in a number of different fields of control information which may include the MCS field.

Rate matching and semi persistent scheduling configuration in wireless communications

Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook design. For example, a user equipment (UE) configured for feedback processing may comprise a memory and a processor configured to receive, from a base station (BS), a first indication of a first feedback process type for providing feedback to the BS for a plurality of feedback processes of the UE. The memory and the processor may also be configured to receive one or more first downlink transmissions from the BS associated with at least one feedback process of the plurality of feedback processes. The memory and the processor may also be configured to transmit feedback or withhold transmission of feedback to the BS regarding decoding of the one or more first downlink transmissions according to the first feedback process type.
