    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may attempt to connect to a base station using a random access procedure. During the random access procedure, the base station may transmit control information associated with a random access response (RAR) during a RAR window. The UE may attempt to receive a single instance of the control information and, in some cases, may be unable to receive and decode the single instance of the control information. The base station may configure one or more RAR windows (or segment(s) thereof) to support transmitting repeating instances of the control information and/or RAR. The UE may identify a quantity of instances of the repeated control information and combine the instances. The UE may successfully decode the combined instances of control information and identify a location for receiving the RAR.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a random access channel (RACH) occasion (RO) based on one or more channel quality thresholds, such as reference signal received power (RSRP) thresholds. A base station may determine a set of RO types for receiving RACH transmissions. The base station may determine a channel quality threshold for each RO type. The base station may broadcast a configuration indicating the RO types and the associated channel quality thresholds. The UE may receive the configuration and measure a channel quality between the UE and the base station. Based on the measured channel quality, the UE may determine which RO types are available based on the indicated channel quality thresholds, and select an RO for transmitting a RACH preamble to establish a connection with the base station based on the available RO types.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), may include receiving a configuration for reporting feedback associated with beam blocking. The UE may perform a decoding process on one or more downlink transmissions via a set of multiple beams. The UE may determine whether a failure of the decoding process is a result of one or more of the plurality of beams being at least partially blocked during the one or more downlink transmissions according to the configuration. The UE may also transmit a negative acknowledgement (NACK) and link adaptation information, where the NACK acknowledgement is based on the failure of the decoding process and the link adaptation information is based on determining whether the one or more of the set of multiple beams are at least partially blocked.
