    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device in communications with a second device may receive a message from the second device. After receiving, the device selects between a decode-and-forward (DF) or an amplify-and-forward (AF) transmission scheme for forwarding the message to a base station. The selection may be made using one or more trigger conditions associated with the transmitting device, the receiving device, or the base station, such as power availability at the device, processing capability of the device, or beam parameters such as beam width, array gain, or other conditions. After selecting, the device may use the selected transmission scheme for forwarding a packet from the second device to the base station.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Devices in a wireless communications system using multiple transmission/reception points (TRPs) may provide information related to one or more default operating frequencies. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message indicating one or more default operating frequencies for each TRP of a set of TRPs. The UE may determine a priority of each TRP of the set of TRPs based on the respective default operating frequencies of the TRPs compared with a default operating frequency of the UE and may indicate the priorities to each TRP. Additionally, based on the default operating frequencies of the TRPs, the UE may select two or more TRPs of the set of TRPs that are suited for joint communications with the UE and may transmit an indication of the selected TRPs. The selected TRPs may coordinate joint communications over an ultra-wide bandwidth with the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently determining a region in which a user equipment (UE) is located. The UE may perform measurements on reference signals received from a first network entity to determine the region in which the UE is located. In some cases, the UE may provide the measurements or other information to a second network entity, and the second network entity may indicate the region in which the UE is located to the UE based on the measurements or the other information. The second network entity or the UE may also indicate the region in which the UE is located to the first network entity. The UE and the first network entity may then select suitable beams for communicating based on the region in which the UE is located.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating a set of sampling beams defined for the UE. The UE may measure a set of received signal strengths for communications from a wireless node associated with a set of linear combinations of sampling beams from the set of sampling beams defined at the UE. The UE may calculate a set of entries of a channel covariance matrix based on the set of received signal strengths of the set of linear combinations of the sampling beams from the set of sampling beams defined for the UE. As such, the UE may communicate with the wireless node based on applying a set of beam weights to an antenna array of the UE. In some examples, the set of beam weights may be based on the channel covariance matrix.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications in millimeter wave (mmW) systems are described. A mmW wireless device may identify a plurality of subsets of antennas from available antennas. The wireless device may compare effective array gain values for each subset in the plurality of subsets of antennas. An effective array gain value may be determined based on a realized array gain for each subset normalized or penalized by a radio frequency (RF) power consumption for antennas corresponding to each subset in the plurality of subsets of antennas. Based on the comparison, the wireless device may select one or more subsets of the plurality of subsets of antennas, the selected one or more subsets may correspond to antenna combinations of one or more antenna subarray units. The mmW wireless device may then communicate using the selected one or more subsets.

    Abstract: The position of a mobile device is estimated using angle based positioning measurements. The angle based positioning measurements are generated using transmit (Tx) beams or receive (Rx) beams from one or more base stations that generate the beams over an ultra-wide bandwidth, which produces frequency and spatial distortions and impairments in an array gain response. The array gain distribution variation as a function of angle and frequency for the set of beam weights used in beamforming is conveyed to indicate the frequency and spatial distortions. The array gain distribution variation may be provided to the mobile device in assistance data for a sub-band that is only a portion of the allocated bandwidth for the base stations, or as an aggregation of the array gain distribution variation for a plurality of sub-bands of the allocated bandwidth to reduce the overhead in signaling.
