Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) deferral for PUCCH groups are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a downlink configuration of a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group that configures a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback payload corresponding to a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) downlink packet for deferral and does not configure a second HARQ feedback payload corresponding to a second SPS downlink packet for deferral. The UE also may delay transmission of at least the first HARQ feedback payload based on different configurations for HARQ feedback deferral between the first SPS downlink packet and the second SPS downlink packet.

Semi-persistent scheduling physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) hybrid automatic repeat request deferral for PUCCH groups

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reporting content processing times to a base station to allow the base station to efficiently schedule bi-directional communications one or more UEs. A content processing time may correspond to the time taken by a UE to process one or more downlink signals received in one or more downlink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may report a content processing time for each downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may report one or more content processing times for multiple downlink transmissions. The base station may use the content processing times to configure an appropriate gap between downlink and uplink transmissions such that the UE may have sufficient time to process downlink signals before transmitting one or more uplink transmissions in response to the one or more downlink transmissions.

UE feedback of content processing time for bi-directional traffic

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration signal identifying reference signal resources for a channel measurement procedure performed on a multi-band channel, the configuration signal further identifying parameters of a feedback message associated with the channel measurement procedure, the parameters comprising a set of coherence bandwidth metrics for the multi-band channel that are to be indicated in the feedback message. The UE may perform the channel measurement procedure using the reference signal resources to identify the set of coherence bandwidth metrics for the multi-band channel. The UE may transmit the feedback message indicating the set of coherence bandwidth metrics.

Measurement reporting for fast fading detection error

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a measurement report indicating a set of channel quality indicators for a set of candidate beams; determine that a downlink transmission from a base station is not received via one or more beams of the set of candidate beams; and transmit a negative acknowledgement for the downlink transmission via one or more new beams of the set of candidate beams. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Beam switching based at least in part on a negative acknowledgement transmission

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration indicating a threshold for layer 3 (L3) measurements missed within a measurement period and during inactive periods of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) pattern. The UE may perform an adjusted mobility event detection procedure based at least in part on a quantity of L3 mobility measurements missed within the measurement period satisfying the threshold. Numerous other aspects are described.

In some implementations, a method of wireless communication includes selecting, at a user equipment (UE), one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) from a plurality of CORESETs corresponding to the UE. At least one of the plurality of CORESETs corresponds to multiple active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The method further includes performing a radio link monitoring (RLM) operation, a beam failure detection (BFD) operation, or both, based on one or more reference signals (RSs) corresponding to active TCI states associated with the one or more selected CORESETs.

A user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication network receives conditions for sweeping beams between a base station of the network and the UE. The conditions include a beam sweeping trigger rule, and a beam measurement configuration for measuring at least one characteristic of each of the beams on downlink. The UR measures at least one characteristic of each of the beams in accordance with the measurement configuration. After the measuring, the UE detects a trigger in accordance with the trigger rule. In response to detecting the trigger, the UE sweeps the beams on uplink based on the measuring.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling indicating one or more selected priorities, of at least two priorities, to which a trigger for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback applies. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) including the trigger for the HARQ feedback and omitting a field indicating the one or more selected priorities. The UE may transmit the HARQ feedback for the one or more selected priorities in accordance with the signaling. Numerous other aspects are described.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a request for a dropped hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook, wherein the DCI indicates a codebook identifier (ID) associated with the dropped HARQ codebook. The UE may transmit, to the network node, the dropped HARQ codebook based at least in part on the codebook ID associated with the dropped HARQ codebook, as indicated in the DCI. Numerous other aspects are described.

Embodiments include systems and methods that may be performed by a processor of a wireless device for managing a communication link with a communication network. Various embodiments may include determining whether a cause of a detected physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) error in a downlink communication from a base station is an out of coverage condition, and initiating an autonomous handover from the base station to a second base station in response to determining that the cause of the PDSCH error is an out of coverage condition.

Autonomous wireless device handover

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The network may manage access to a cell on a per-beam basis. The network may indicate, for a given beam, whether a user equipment (UE) is able to access the cell via the given beam. Accordingly, the UE may access a cell using a beam that is not barred for the UE. In some examples, control signaling may include a list of each beam associated with the cell and may indicate whether each beam is barred or accessible. In some examples, control signaling include a field indicating whether the particular beam on which the control signaling was transmitted is barred. In some examples, control signaling may indicate whether a cell is barred. The UE may interpret the indication of whether the cell is barred as indicating whether the beam on which the control signaling was transmitted is barred.
