In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control message indicating a set of parameters for a scheduling request for the UE. The UE may then receive on a receive beam a second downlink control message, which may be a layer 1 signal, and determine uplink resources for the scheduling request and a transmission configuration indicator state for the scheduling request. The UE may transmit, to the base station, the scheduling request using the uplink resources.

The UE receives a downlink transmission triggering hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources. The UE transmits the SR to the base station in the one or more PUCCH resources for the HARQ feedback. The base station transmits, to a UE, an indication to transmit an SR. The base station transmits a downlink transmission triggering HARQ feedback in one or more PUCCH resources. The base station receives the SR from the UE in the one or more PUCCH resources.

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.

A wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a scheduling device such as a base station, control signaling which indicates a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration scheduling a burst of multiple downlink shared channel transmission opportunities during an SPS interval. Based on receiving the SPS configuration, the UE may receive downlink signaling from the base station in a downlink shared channel transmission opportunity of the SPS interval. In some other aspects, a UE may receive control signaling which indicates a configured grant (CG) that schedules a burst of multiple uplink shared channel transmission opportunities during a CG timing interval.
