    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to coordinated beam refinement and coordinated beam failure recovery (BFR) in a wireless communication network are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device of a group of wireless communication devices, a communication signal using a first beam characteristic. The first wireless communication device receives, from the second wireless communication device, at least one of beam feedback information or a beam change request. The first wireless communication device transmits, to the group of wireless communication devices in response to the at least one of the beam feedback information or the beam change request, a beam configuration indicating a second beam characteristic to be used by the group of wireless communication devices for communicating with the first wireless communication device, the second beam characteristic being different from the first beam characteristic.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide beam determination in beamformed wireless communications. A base station may transmit multiple repetitions of control information for a subsequent scheduled transmission. A user equipment (UE) may receive one of the multiple repetitions, determine the control information, and adjust beamforming parameters for the scheduled transmission. The UE may have a scheduling threshold that corresponds to a time needed for the UE to adjust beamforming parameters for the scheduled transmission, and the UE may identify the beamforming parameters for the scheduled transmission from any one of the multiple repetitions of control information, which may be transmitted using different downlink transmission beams, before or after the scheduling threshold, or combinations thereof.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may transmit, to a second device, reference signals using combinations of analog beamforming parameters over multiple cycles. The reference signals may be transmitted for different combinations of transmit beamforming parameters and receive beamforming parameters over different cycles of the multiple cycles. The first device may receive, from the second device over the multiple cycles, a set of reports. Each report may indicate combinations of analog beamforming parameters selected for the analog beamforming parameters at the second device. Each combination of analog beamforming parameters may correspond to different cycles of the multiple cycles. The first device may set, for each radio frequency (RF) chain of a plurality of RF chains associated with the first device, a corresponding combination of analog beamforming parameters, and communicate with the second device via two or more beams based on the setting.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling configuring the UE to use a first waveform for communicating via a first beam and a second waveform for communicating via a second beam, the first waveform being different than the second waveform. The UE may communicate a first data transmission via the first beam using the first waveform and communicate a second data transmission via the second beam using the second waveform.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for phase error estimation and correction with sub-symbol resolution. A transmitting device may precode symbols (e.g., phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) symbols) using a discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The transmitting device may map the DFT-precoded symbols to sets of adjacent subcarriers of a wireless signal, and may map other symbols to other subcarriers of the wireless signal. A receiving device may receive the wireless signal and may compare time domain representations of the DFT-precoded symbols with time domain representations of known reference symbols. The receiving device may estimate a phase error with sub-symbol resolution in the time domain based at least in part on the comparison, and may apply a phase correction in either the time or frequency domain to the other symbols.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide efficient beam updates in beamformed communications between a transmitting device and receiving device. The transmitting device and the receiving device may establish a connection using one or more beamformed transmission beams. The devices may periodically perform beam refinement procedures or beam training procedures and may update the transmission beams used for communications based on such procedures. Signaling to indicate the updated transmission beams may be transmitted that indicates one or more of a difference or delta from a prior beamforming parameter, a beam that was used at the receiving device for one or more measurements of a reference signal from the transmitting device, or any combinations thereof.
