A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a network node, a first message indicating, for each network power mode of a group of network power modes, a group of random-access channel (RACH) process parameters. The method also includes receiving, from the network node, a second message indicating a current network power mode, of the group of network power modes, enabled at the network node. The method further includes receiving, from the network node, a third message including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order that initiates a RACH process in accordance with the respective group of RACH process parameters associated with the current network power mode. The method still further includes transmitting, to the network node based on receiving the PDCCH order, a RACH preamble associated with the RACH process.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) for sidelink communication. An example method include determining a set of resources, in a resource pool of one or more resource pools, to use for transmitting information to a group of receiver UEs (RX UEs), transmitting to the group of RX UEs an indication that the TX UE will transmit the information to the group of RX UEs using rate splitting multiple access (RSMA), and transmitting the information to the group of RX UEs in the set of resources using RSMA. Transmitting the information to the group using RSMA may include transmitting a common message including combined control information to the group of RX UEs using a first precoder and transmitting individual private data messages to each RX UE in the group of RX UEs using separate respective precoders different from the first precoder.

Rate splitting multiple access for sidelink communication

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the proposed techniques provide for a semi-persistent design for communicating rate-split messages from a network entity to multiple user equipments (UEs). The network entity may transmit control information to one or more UEs indicating encoding information for receipt of one or more downlink messages to be communicated during respective downlink occasions, which may be configured for rate-split communications. Thus, a first UE may be made aware of one or more semi-persistent downlink occasions via which respective downlink messages (e.g., respective to each downlink occasion) are to be encoded into a common portion and a private portion. In some cases, the common portion may be common with other downlink messages (e.g., intended for other UEs) and the private portion may be specific to the first UE. The first UE may then decode the rate-split downlink messages according to the encoding information.
