Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some networks, a user equipment (UE) may switch between serving beams of a transmitting device that are associated with different bandwidth parts of a radio frequency spectrum. To improve aspects of beam measurement and selection, a UE may be configured to support various techniques for beam measurement according to the different bandwidth parts. For example, a UE may receive a beam measurement configuration associated with one or more beams, and may monitor for reference signals associated with the beams using the different bandwidth parts. The UE may determine a channel quality of one or more of the beams based on the monitoring, and transmit a beam measurement report to the network in accordance with the beam measurement configuration. In some examples, such a report may be transmitted based on the UE determining that an event condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a satellite of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) may establish communications on a beam of the satellite. The UE may receive, on a first carrier of a first set of carriers associated with a first beam, a configuration for the first set of carriers associated with the first beam and a second set of carriers associated with a second beam. The first carrier may be used to send a first set of synchronization signals, and a second carrier of the second set of carriers may be used to send a second set of synchronization signals. The UE may identify some system information associated with the second set of carriers based on the configuration and reselect to the second beam based on the configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine an inactivity timer associated with a first set of one or more beams used for communicating with a network entity associated with a satellite has expired. The UE may identify location information corresponding to the location of the UE with respect to the network entity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE) associated with a non-terrestrial wireless network may identify a first synchronization procedure that is specific to the non-terrestrial network and different from synchronization procedures specific to terrestrial networks. In some cases, the UE may identify a different channel raster or may receive an indication of a true frequency of operation of a narrowband cell in the non-terrestrial network. The UE may identify the narrowband cell associated with the non-terrestrial network and may synchronize with the network using the identified synchronization procedure.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configuration enhancements. A method generally includes receiving, from the network, a message comprising sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information, wherein the SRS configuration information comprises configuration information for a first SRS resource set and configuration information for a second SRS resource set and transmitting at least one SRS according to the received SRS configuration information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support multiplexing multicast and unicast feedback. A base station may provision different subsets of resources from a set of resources for multicast feedback message transmission based on channel metric(s) of a user equipment (UE). The set of resources may include a plurality of subsets of resources, with each subset of resources being associated with a corresponding channel metric or range of channel metrics associated with each UE receiving the multicast transmission. A UE may determine that a feedback indication is to be provided in response to the multicast transmission, and select a subset of resources from the plurality of subsets of resources based on its own channel metric. The UE may multiplex the multicast feedback, an indication of the selected subset, and unicast feedback in a multiplexed feedback transmission to the base station.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for establishing rules for scheduling downlink data transmissions and flow control feedback for the downlink data transmissions to avoid confusion at a base station and a user equipment (UE). In one example, when flow control feedback from a UE is disabled for a downlink data transmission, the UE may still operate according to a timing for reporting flow control feedback for the downlink data transmission. In this example, the UE may drop (e.g., refrain from decoding) other downlink data transmissions based on the timing for reporting flow control feedback. In another example, when flow control feedback from a UE is disabled for a downlink data transmission, other downlink data transmissions to the UE may be scheduled according to one or more rules to avoid confusion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multicast wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) for providing feedback for multicast transmissions from the base station while the UE is in an inactive or idle mode. Based on a configuration sent to the UE from the base station, the UE may determine resources or a timing advance (TA) to use for transmission of a feedback message for multicast communications. A base station may configure a UE with multiple TA commands, each corresponding to a TA value and a set of channel metrics associated with group of cells including a serving cell of the UE. Based on measure channel metrics at the UE, the UE may determine a TA to use for multicast feedback. TA values may be determined using neural network modeling.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently allocating resources for multicast feedback from one or more user equipment (UEs) and efficiently retransmitting information in transport blocks to the one or more UEs. If a UE fails to decode one or more transport blocks of a set of transport blocks from a base station, the UE may report feedback, such as a negative acknowledgment (NACK), to the base station. The base station may receive the feedback from the UE and potentially from other UEs that failed to decode one or more transport blocks of the set of transport blocks, and the base station may multicast one or more outer-coded transport blocks to the UEs. Each of the outer-coded transport blocks may include a different combination (for example, a linear combination) of transport blocks of the set of transport blocks.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback operations for multicast communications are provided. A first user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), a multicast feedback configuration indicating a first resource configuration for a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) feedback mode; and a second resource configuration for an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback mode. The first UE receives, from the BS, a first multicast communication. The first UE transmits, to the BS, a NACK feedback for the first multicast communication based on the first resource configuration. The first UE receives, from the BS, a second multicast communication. The first UE transmits, to the BS, an ACK feedback or a NACK feedback for the second multicast communication based on the second resource configuration.
