This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, computer programs encoded on computer readable-medium to provide a user equipment (UE) to receive a reference signal from a base station, wherein the reference signal is received within a frequency-time region that overlaps with a control channel frequency-time region, generate information related to a control channel between the UE and the base station based on the reference signal, and transmitting the information to the base station.

Channel state information (CSI) feedback for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A group of random access channel opportunities are identified over which to transmit a preamble associated with a random access channel procedure. A preamble sequence group associated with the identified group of random access channel opportunities is determined based on a repetition level associated with the preamble sequence group. At least one downlink message associated with the random access channel procedure is received based on the repetition level.

NR-light random access response repetition

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for channel measurements for multiple uplink carriers in carrier aggregation (CA). A CA configuration may provide a first downlink carrier, a first uplink carrier, and a second uplink carrier. The second uplink carrier may be a supplemental uplink (SUL) carrier that does not have an associated downlink carrier in a same frequency band. A measurement downlink carrier may be configured and associated with the second uplink carrier, and measurements of a reference resource of the measurement downlink carrier may be used to determine transmission parameters of the second uplink carrier.

Techniques for channel measurements for multiple uplink carriers in carrier aggregation

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information (CSI) for multiple transmission reception point (mTRP) scenarios. The techniques may provide for dynamic interference measurement for mTRP CSI. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI reporting configuration configuring the UE with a plurality of CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources for channel measurement (CMRs) and a plurality of resources for interference measurement (IMRs). The method includes determining an indicator based on an association between one or more CMRs and one or more IMRs. A codepoint of the indicator is associated with an IMR or a set of IMRs by an order of the IMRs or the set of IMRs in the configuration, and is associated with a CMR, a CMR pair, or a part of the ports of a CMR. The method generally includes performing CSI measurement based on the association.

Dynamic interference measurement for multiple-TRP CSI

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication by a user equipment, comprising receiving at least one configuration associated with a plurality of connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycles, wherein a first C-DRX cycle of the plurality of C-DRX cycles is associated with a set of user equipment (UE) operations and a second C-DRX cycle of the plurality of C-DRX cycles is associated with a subset of UE operations of the set of UE operations. The implementations further include transmitting data based on performance of one or more UE operations of the subset of UE operations during the second C-DRX cycle.

Customizable connected mode discontinuous reception

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) determines a transmission gap adjustment (TGA) for a first message (msgA) of a 2 step random access channel (RACH) procedure based on measurement of a reference signal transmitted by a base station as well as the radio resource configuration (RRC) configurations for msgA. In other aspects, a base station transmits a system information block (SIB) or RRC signaling that indicates at least one possible configuration of the TGA, and UEs determine the TGA depending on RRC state. Connected mode UEs having a timing alignment (TA) timer running may determine the TGA based on a previous TA. UEs in other RRC modes determine the TGA based on the possible configuration transmitted in the SIB or RRC signaling. Advantageously, 2 step RACH UEs are able to communicate with the base station without the closed loop TA information provided by a 4 step RACH.

Open loop timing control for 2-step RACH

Aspects relate to a network entity sending downlink control information to a user equipment (UE) that the UE uses to receive a message from the network entity. The network entity may send to the UE a first DCI that includes a first transmission parameter or an indication thereof to be used for receiving a first message and a second DCI that includes a second transmission parameter to be used for receiving a second message.

Downlink control information procedures

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a network node, a first message configuring a group of component carriers that includes a primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers. The method also includes receiving, from the network node, a second message configuring a number of repetitions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission. The method further includes transmitting, to the network node, each repetition of the PUCCH transmission via the primary component carrier or one of the one or more secondary component carriers in accordance with the number of repetitions, each repetition being transmitted on only the primary component carrier in accordance with the number of repetitions being greater than one, and each repetition being transmitted on either the primary component carrier or the secondary component carrier in accordance with the number of repetitions being equal to one.

Physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition across multiple component carriers

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently transmitting data and control information in a first RACH message to a base station as part of a two-step RACH procedure. In particular, rather than or in addition to transmitting data and control information in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the first RACH message, a user equipment (UE) may transmit the data and control information along with a RACH preamble in a RACH occasion in the first RACH message (e.g., when the number of bytes of data or control information to be transmitted is low). Using these techniques, in some instances, the UE may transmit the data and control information in a first RACH message without transmitting the PUSCH, and the overhead associated with transmitting the PUSCH may be eliminated.

Random access channel occasion configuration

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for randomization of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) signals. A method for wireless communication includes determining a random reflection parameter for each of one or more RISs. The random reflection parameter is random over time for the one or more RISs. The method includes applying random values of the random reflection parameter at different times at each of the one or more RISs.

Randomization of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) signals

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying a set of uplink resources for a set of uplink transmissions. The UE may transmit a subset of the set of uplink transmissions, wherein the subset of the set of uplink transmissions includes uplink control information multiplexed from a remainder of the set of uplink transmissions corresponding to one or more instances in which data is not available for transmission. Numerous other aspects are described.

Uplink skipping and uplink control information multiplexing

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a signal associated with a communication channel. The UE may transmit a channel quality indicator (CQI) report comprising one or more CQI values based at least in part on a determined number of bits used to represent the one or more CQI values. The number of bits used to represent the one or more CQI values is based at least in part on a number of the one or more subbands. Numerous other aspects are described.

Dynamic quantization of channel quality information

Aspects relate to mechanisms for measuring the interference on the sidelink for use in calculating the channel quality indicator (CQI) in channel state information (CSI) reporting. Channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources on which a sidelink device may measure the interference may be located outside of a bandwidth allocated for the transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and/or inside of the allocated bandwidth. The sidelink device may measure respective interference values on one or more CSI-IM resources, identify one or more CQI(s) based on the measured interference value(s) and transmit one or more CSI reports including the one or more CQIs to another sidelink device.

Interference measurement for sidelink

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.

Semi-persistently scheduled rate-splitting communications

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for slot aggregation in new radio (NR) systems. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling providing a semi-static configuration for transmission and/or reception of a repeated transport block (TB) and/or a different TB in each of a plurality of aggregated slots. The UE transmits or receives the TBs in the plurality of aggregated slots based on the semi-static configuration. Another method is provided in which the UE transmits and/or receives a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in each of a plurality of aggregated slots, each DMRS associated with a repeated TB or a different TB in the slot. The UE determines, based on received signaling, whether the DMRS use a same precoder or a different precoder and modulates and/or demodulates the TBs in the plurality of aggregated slots based on the determination.
