    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for handling acknowledgement and retransmission timers during sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) communication. An example method by a transmitter user equipment (UE) generally includes transmitting a first repetition of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to a receiver UE prior to entering an inactive state, while the transmitter UE is operating in a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) mode; returning to an active state to monitor for acknowledgment feedback from the receiver UE, wherein the return is based on a first timer relative to an end of the first repetition of the PSSCH; remaining in the active state for a duration defined by a second timer; and taking one or more actions depending on whether the transmitter UE receives acknowledgment feedback during the duration indicating failed reception of the first repetition of the PSSCH by the receiver UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive and decode a network-coded message over a sidelink channel from a second UE, the network-coded message encoded using a rateless encoding algorithm. The first UE may report redundancy feedback information to the second UE for the network-coded message. Based on the feedback information, the second UE may adjust an amount of redundancy used to encode future messages to the first UE that are encoded using the rateless encoding algorithm.

    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for UE signaling a network regarding customized ringing signal (CRS) capability and use of such information by the network. Various embodiments may receiving from the network an INVITE message notifying the UE of an incoming call, determining whether the INVITE message indicates that the network provides CRS service if the UE supports a CRS function, and including an indication in a response to the INVITE that the UE supports the CRS function in response to determining that the INVITE message includes an alert information header field indicating that the network provides CRS service. Various embodiments include a network computing device receiving such information and performing negotiations for CRS service with the UE only if the UE indicates CRS functional capability.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for techniques for beam failure detection and recovery. A UE may support autonomous determination of a beam failure timer for a beam failure procedure, such as a beam failure detection (BFD) timer for a BFD procedure or a beam failure recovery (BFR) timer for a BFR procedure. For example, a network entity may transmit reference signals to the UE that are associated with the beam failure procedure. For instance, the UE may measure the reference signals as part of a BFD procedure or may initiate a BFR procedure in response to receiving the reference signals. The UE may determine a timer value for the beam failure timer using, for example, a machine learning (ML) model or a mapping and may perform the beam failure procedure in accordance with the UE-determined beam failure timer.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of at least one first beam and at least one first antenna panel of the UE, to use for one or more first transmissions, and of at least one second beam and at least one second antenna panel of the UE, to use for one or more second transmissions. Accordingly, the UE may communicate the one or more first transmissions, with the base station, using the at least one first beam and the at least one first antenna panel. Additionally, the UE may communicate the one or more second transmissions, with the base station, using the at least one second beam and the at least one second antenna panel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit first control signaling to a first set of user equipments (UEs) which identifies a first common configuration information element indicating a first slot format pattern for use by the first set of UEs. The base station may also transmit second control signaling to a second set of UEs which identifies a second common configuration information element indicating a second slot format pattern for the second set of UEs. The first information element and the second information element may be the same or different based on full-duplexing or half-duplexing capabilities of the UEs. In some other cases, the base station may identify a grouping configuration for assigning respective UEs to first or second UE groups which are either associated with uplink or downlink communications with the full-duplex base station.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an apparatus may transmit, to a base station, a request to transmit uplink control information (UCI), for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group that includes a primary cell (PCell) and for a second PUCCH group that includes a PUCCH secondary cell (SCell), via the PUCCH SCell. The apparatus may receive, from the base station, an indication of whether the request is rejected or approved. Numerous other aspects are described.
