    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may be configured for discontinuous reception (DRX) operations using wakeup signals. The UE may monitor periodic wakeup signal occasions for wakeup signals and, in the event that the UE detects a wakeup indication that the UE is to initiate an active duration, the UE may power on transmit/receive circuitry for communications with a base station. In an absence of receiving the wakeup indication, the UE may be configured to transmit an uplink reference signal (e.g., a sounding reference signal) to the base station in an inactive duration of a DRX cycle in some cases. The uplink reference signal may be measured at the base station and used to determine one or more parameters for subsequent communications with the UE.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit to a base station (BS), information indicating a medium access control (MAC) security capability of the UE. The UE may receive from the BS, a communication that includes an indication of a MAC security configuration for communications between the UE and the BS. The indication of the MAC security configuration may be based at least in part on the MAC security capability of the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) generating a scheduling request (SR) for a set of data for an uplink transmission from the UE to a base station. The UE may determine whether the SR for the set of data is associated with a grant-free configuration for the UE. The grant-free configuration may indicate a set of time-frequency resources that the UE may use to transmit the set of data. The UE may transmit to the base station an indication of whether the SR is associated with the grant-free configuration. If the SR is associated with a grant-free configuration for the UE, the UE may use the corresponding resources to transmit the set of data to the base station, and the base station may then decode the data based on having received the indication of the resources by way of the grant-free configuration.
