    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The examples described herein may enable a decoder to determine path metrics for various decoding paths based on identified frozen bit locations of a polar code. The path metric for a decoding path may be based on bit metrics determined for the identified frozen bit locations along the decoding path. Once the path metrics and bit metrics are determined, the decoder may compare these metrics to threshold criteria and determine whether to discard decoding paths based on the comparison. The techniques described herein for discarding decoding paths may allow the decoder to discard, prune, or disqualify certain decoding paths that are unlikely to provide an accurate representation of bits received from another device. Consequently, the decoder may be able to save power by terminating a decoding process early (i.e., early termination) if all paths are discarded, pruned, or disqualified.

    Abstract: User equipment (UE)-specific information may be transmitted within a control resource set configured to carry resources common to UEs within a system. The UE-specific information may be associated with a search space having an aggregation level different from aggregation levels used with the common control resources and may occupy different modulation symbols within the common control resource set (e.g., to support flexible scheduling for multiple UEs). A base station and UE may operate in a system using one or more control resource sets within a system bandwidth. The UE may detect common control resources by monitoring decoding candidates in the control resource set according to a first set of aggregation levels. The UE may detect UE-specific control resources by monitoring decoding candidates in the control resource set according to other aggregation levels. The UE and base station may communicate based on control information obtained from the monitoring.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for mapping modulated symbols to physical resources. The mapping described herein may result in both time and frequency diversity. For example, a method for wireless communications may include alternately mapping quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) symbols of a code block to frequency resources within a scheduling unit of time, wherein the mapping comprises a frequency-first mapping where symbols of the code block are alternately mapped to a first subset of the frequency resources in a first set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols, then to a second subset of the frequency resources in a second set of OFDM symbols, and transmitting the code block based on the mapping.

    Abstract: Tracking reference signal designs for deployments without continuous reference signal transmission are described. The tracking reference signals may be extended in the frequency domain from a synchronization signal block and may occupy a subset or all of the symbol periods of the synchronization signal block. The tracking reference signals may have the same subcarrier spacing as synchronization signals and may be punctured in the frequency domain. Alternatively, the tracking reference signals may include common control reference signals transmitted periodically with paired reference signals in a data channel. The common control reference signals and paired reference signals may be transmitted regardless of the presence of control or data. For improved tracking after a transition to a connected mode or a long discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, a slot including tracking reference signals may be repeated or an additional tracking reference signal pattern may be transmitted.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes identifying a set of punctured bit locations in a received codeword. The received codeword is encoded using a polar code. The method also includes identifying a set of information bit locations of the polar code, with the set of information bit locations being determined based at least in part on polarization weights per polarized bit-channel of a polar code decoder that are a function of nulled repetition operations per polarization stage of the polar code identified based at least in part on the set of punctured bit locations. The method further includes processing the received codeword using the polar code decoder to obtain an information bit vector at the set of information bit locations.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of a control channel subcarrier spacing to be used by the UE; and transmitting a control message having a subcarrier spacing in accordance with the indication. Another method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a UE, an indicator channel identifying at least a subcarrier spacing to be used in one or more subsequent control channels. One or more subsequent control channels are then transmitted in accordance with the subcarrier spacing indicated by the indicator channel.
