    Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to mechanisms to implement PUCCH resource configuration for two-step RACH for subsequent HARQ messaging. After a UE transmits msgA to a BS, the BS responds with msgB including a PUCCH resource indicator in a DCI of PDCCH, or a PUCCH resource indicator in PDSCH. The UE attempts to decode PDCCH or PDSCH, respectively. Upon decoding, the UE will use the configuration identified by the resource indicator. With the PUCCH resource configuration information, the UE signals a HARQ message.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently signaling configurations of physical resources and transmission parameters to a user equipment (UE) for small data transmissions (for example, data transmissions in an inactive or idle state). A base station may broadcast or multicast downlink control information (DCI) in one or more control channels that schedules data transmissions in a set of data channels. The base station may then multicast one or more configurations in each of the data channels, and a UE may decode one of the data channels to determine a configuration for a small data transmission. Because the configurations may be transmitted in the data channels in addition to system information or paging information, a base station may have access to sufficient resources to provide suitable configurations to a UE for communications in an inactive or idle state.

    Abstract: In some aspects, the SIB1 message is transmitted in a subframe 0 and a subframe 5 of alternating radio frames of the non-anchor carrier. In some aspects, the SIB1 message is transmitted in a subframe 0 of alternating radio frames of the anchor carrier. In some aspects, the frequency domain location parameter is associated with a physical resource block offset relative to a center frequency, and the anchor carrier is in a first frequency range greater than the center frequency by the physical resource block offset and the non-anchor carrier is in a second frequency range less than the center frequency by the physical resource block offset, or the non-anchor carrier is in the first frequency range greater than the center frequency by the physical resource block offset and the anchor carrier is in the second frequency.

    Abstract: Aspects are provided in which narrow channels are configured and carrier aggregated with defined channel bandwidths in order to support irregular channel bandwidths that are not a multiple of 5 MHz or other defined bandwidth multiple. An apparatus such as a UE receives, from a base station, a configuration for carrier aggregation for a PCell and one or more SCells. A total bandwidth of the PCell and the one or more SCells is not a defined bandwidth multiple. The apparatus communicates with the base station through the PCell and the one or more SCells. In this way, the available spectrum of wireless operators that include channel bandwidths of irregular size may be supported.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive configuration information from a base station, and the configuration information may indicate at least two different random access channel (RACH) request configuration parameters that each is associated with a respective radio resource control (RRC) state. The UE may be further configured to generate a first message associated with a two-step RACH procedure including a preamble and a payload, the payload including data on an uplink data channel and at least one reference signal. The UE may be further configured to transmit the first message to the base station using at least one of the at least two different RACH request configuration parameters that corresponds to an RRC state of the UE. The preamble may be transmitted on a first set of resources associated with a RACH occasion, and the payload may be transmitted on a second set of resources.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive one or more retransmissions of an initial group-common transmission. The UE may receive, in accordance with a first SPS configuration, a group-common transmission of a group-common downlink shared channel, the group-common transmission being associated with a first RNTI. The UE may transmit feedback information for the group-common transmission. The UE may then receive a downlink control information (DCI) message scheduling either a group-common retransmission of the group-common downlink shared channel or a unicast retransmission of the group-common downlink shared channel. The DCI may indicate that either the group-common retransmission is associated with the first RNTI or that the unicast retransmission is associated with a second RNTI that may be different from the first RNTI.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive modulo base selection for non-linear precoding. Aspects provide a method for wireless communications that can be performed by a base station (BS). The BS adaptively selects a modulo base for a data stream for at least one user equipment (UE) in a transmission to one or more UEs. The BS selects the modulo base based on one or more parameters. The BS transmits a signal for at least one UE of the one or more UEs to identify the selected modulo base. The BS performs the transmission to the one or more UEs. The UE receives the transmission from the BS and the signal for the identification of the selected modulo base. Based on the signal, the UE determines the modulo base for at least one data stream in the transmission and decodes the data stream using the modulo base.

    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring for control information in sets of downlink control channel resources are described, where multiple sets of downlink control channel resources may overlap. The described techniques include monitoring for one or more search spaces in a set of downlink control channel resources by rate matching downlink control channel resources independently of other sets of downlink control channel resources. Alternatively, overlapping sets of downlink control channel resources may be rate-matched accounting for reference signals of overlapping sets of downlink control channel resources.
