Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which UEs may communicate with satellites or base stations, or both in a non-terrestrial network. Due to large distances between transmitting devices and receiving devices in a non-terrestrial network, the UE may account for propagation delay and frequency shift of communications with a satellite based on location information of the satellite. The UE may receive first satellite location information from a base station or a satellite, via a broadcast message. The UE may receive second satellite location information from the wireless network node via a unicast message, where both the first satellite location information and the second satellite location information relate to a same satellite. The UE may transmit an uplink communication via the satellite based on at least one of the first satellite location information or the second satellite location information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a downlink control information (DCI) message to one or more user equipments (UEs) scheduling a multicast data message in a multicast downlink shared channel, the DCI message indicating a feedback process identifier (ID) for the multicast data message. The base station may transmit an additional DCI message to a UE scheduling a retransmission of the multicast data message in a unicast downlink shared channel and indicating a feedback process ID for the retransmission of the multicast data message. The feedback process ID for the retransmission may be the same as, or different from, the initial transmission of the multicast data message. The UE may transmit feedback for the multicast data message based on receiving the initial transmission of the multicast data or the retransmission of the multicast data and the feedback process IDs.

Abstract: A configuration to allow a UE to receive a BWP configuration that supports RC NR. The UE sends information to a network indicating a UE capability of the UE. The UE receives, based on the UE capability, information indicating a BWP associated with a first BWP, the second BWP having a frequency range equal to or less than the first BWP. The UE receives at least one of control information or data based on the indicated first BWP and the second BWP.

Abstract: Example aspects include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication at a base station of a mobile network, comprising transmitting system information corresponding to an aerial cell of the mobile network or a cell having at least one aerial sector being formed by one or more uptilt beams of the base station. The aspects further include performing, according to the system information, a random access channel (RACH) procedure with an aerial user equipment (UE). Additionally, the aspects include establishing, via the aerial cell or the at least one aerial sector, a communications link with the aerial UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, an aerial user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a priority for cell selection for aerial UEs from each cell in a set of cells and may select a cell from the set of cells based on the priority of each cell in the set of cells. In another example, an aerial UE may connect to a network available to aerial UEs and non-aerial UEs for auxiliary communications, when appropriate. In yet another example, when an aerial UE transitions to a new mission status, the aerial UE may transmit a tracking area update (TAU) if the aerial UE is connected to a cell in a tracking area that does not support the new mission status. In yet another example, a base station may page an aerial UE based on a mission status of the aerial UE.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for handling collisions between PUSCH and sounding reference signal (SRS) on additional SRS symbols in an uplink subframe using carrier aggregation. The techniques provide rules that a user equipment (UE) may apply to decide if and when to drop or apply power scaling to SRS or PUSCH transmissions scheduled on overlapping time resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive broadcast information from a base station indicating a numerology or a reference signal (RS) pattern to be used in broadcast or multicast transmissions (e.g., a physical multicast channel (PMCH)). The UE may identify a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) associated with the broadcast or multicast transmission and may determine a transport block size (TBS) based on the MCS and at least one of the numerology or the RS pattern. For instance, a UE may determine TBS for numerologies associated with a single symbol that spans multiple subframes differently from that of other numerologies. Additionally or alternatively, a UE may determine TBS for sparse RS patterns differently from that of other RS patterns. The UE may then perform communication with the base station via the broadcast or multicast transmissions in accordance with the TBS.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for enabling a wireless system implementing multicast transmissions to control feedback reports from multiple user equipments (UEs) and to address feedback codebook misalignment issues. In particular, aspects provide for multicast transmission grants including multiple feedback timing indicators (K1) in which the multicast transmission grants are configured to configure different UEs for multicast transmission feedback reporting in which feedback codebooks transmitted in various uplink control transmission occasions from the different UEs have a same size. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a connection release message, the connection release message including a resource indicator indicating that a set of resources are to be used for grant-free uplink transmissions by the UE while operating in a disconnected state. The UE may transition from a connected state to a disconnected state based at least in part on the connection release message. The UE may perform, while operating in the disconnected state, the grant-free uplink transmissions using the set of resources.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to reference signal (RS) designs that allow for tracking loop updates and paging of UEs using various RSs. One example method includes identifying reference signal (RS) monitoring occasions for a user equipment (UE) in an idle or inactive mode; and transmitting, to the UE, reference signals in the identified RS monitoring occasions, the RS monitoring occasions being associated with RS for tracking purposes and RS for an indication the UE is to wake up to process additional signaling.
