Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A central access node (CAN) may manage and schedule resources for a wireless mesh network. The CAN may transmit a first message to a relay access node (AN) to expedite transmission of a priority communication in the wireless mesh network. The first message may provide configuration information for modifying a preconfigured schedule to expedite the transmission of the priority communication. For example, the first message may provide configuration information to modify a preconfigured schedule to allow a first network node to transmit the priority communication to a second network node during a reserved time period. The relay AN may generate a second message regarding the modified schedule and transmit the second message to the second network node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE) operating in a discontinuous reception mode, a wakeup signal indicating whether data is available to be transmitted to the UE, the wakeup signal transmitted using a first set of transmit beams, which may be selected from a periodic beam management procedure, in accordance with a beam sweeping configuration. The base station may receive, from the UE and based at least in part on the wakeup signal, a response signal. The base station may perform, based at least in part on the response signal, further beam update procedures to identify a second set of transmit beams for future transmissions of the wakeup signal and/or for transmission of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for transmitting different sets of control messages through a relay to a central unit (CU) and a core network of a wireless communications system. The different sets of control messages may include a first set of control messages for an access radio link between the relay and the CU and a second set of control messages for a fronthaul radio link between the relay and the CU. Techniques may include multiplexing of messages on a radio bearer (RB), establishment of separate RBs for different control messages, and encapsulation of one type of control message for transmission with the other type of control message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify that data is available to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) that is operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. The base station may configure a plurality of UE-specific reference signals for transmission to the UE, each UE-specific reference signal indicating a UE identifier and an availability of data for the UE. The UE may receive the UE-specific reference signal, and identify that data is available for the UE from the base station. The UE may then transmit a beam recovery signal to the base station that includes an identifier for the transmit beam used by the UE to transmit the beam recovery signal. The base station may transmit, using a beam sweeping configuration, the plurality of UE-specific reference signals.

Abstract: Techniques for procedures using request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) procedures and multiple timers are described. A RTS/CTS procedure using multiple timers may use a first timer and a second timer. The first timer may be associated with a duration to transmit and receive a request to send (RTS) message and a clear to send (CTS) message. The second timer may be associated with a duration to transmit a data message. A network device may transmit a RTS message to request communication resources to transmit data. If the CTS message is not received prior to the expiration of the first timer, neighboring network devices may determine that the communication resources were not allocated and may attempt to request the newly available resources. If a CTS message is received, the network device may communicate the second timer data to the neighboring network devices in a variety of ways.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless node may transmit directional signals in a sweeping transmission pattern while receiving communications from a second wireless node. Another wireless node may then, during a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, receive one of the directional signals, and terminate a correspondence communication session to avoid potential interference. Additionally or alternatively, a wireless node may listen in directions in a sweeping receive pattern while transmitting to a second wireless node. While listening, the wireless node may detect a transmission from a third wireless node in a particular direction. The wireless node may then accordingly refrain from transmitting in that direction to avoid potential interference.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. In one method, a user equipment (UE) receives a timing synchronization signal (TSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), with the TSS based at least in part on a timing of the TSS within a broadcast channel transmission time interval (BCH TTI); determines the timing of the TSS within the BCH TTI; and demodulates the PBCH based at least in part on the TSS. In another method, a base station allocates resources for a TSS and a PBCH within a BCH TTI; determines the TSS based at least in part on a timing of the TSS within the BCH TTI; and transmits, on the resources allocated for the TSS and the PBCH, the TSS and the PBCH, with the TSS transmitted as a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PBCH on at least one port used to transmit the TSS and the PBCH.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Beams used for synchronization signals may be associated with beams used for reference signals. For example, a base station may identify a first set of millimeter wave (mmW) communication beams to transmit a synchronization signal. The base station may transmit the synchronization signal and identify a second set of mmW communication beams to transmit a reference signal, where the second set of mmW communication beams may be associated with the first set of beams. For instance, the first set and second set of mmW communication beams may be the same or similar. The base station may then transmit the reference signal on the second set of mmW communication beams. A user equipment may in turn identify the first and second sets of beams as being associated, and receive the reference signal on the second set of mmW communication beams.

Abstract: In a wireless communications system that supports directional communications (e.g., a millimeter wave (mmW) system), a base station and a user equipment (UE) may utilize directional transmissions during a paging procedure. In some cases, a base station may use beam sweeping to transmit a control channel, which may contain a paging group information. For example, the base station may configure the UE or a group of UEs to monitor for the paging group information over a set of time-frequency resources. A UE that receives the paging group information may determine transmission resources to monitor for a subsequent data channel transmission based at least in part on the identified paging group information. The base station may then transmit the paging information over the indicated transmission resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for selecting different uplink transmission parameters for transmission or retransmission of a random access message. A user equipment (UE) may retransmit a random access message to a base station during a random access procedure if an initial transmission of the random access message was unsuccessfully received by the base station. The UE may select a different transmission beam, uplink resource, or transmission power for retransmission of the random access message. The selection may be based on path loss associated with synchronization signals or previous transmissions. The selection may also be based on a maximum number of retransmissions.
