Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information including an indication of a discontinuous monitoring delay period. The UE may receive a message including an indication to adjust monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and monitor for the PDCCH during the discontinuous monitoring delay period. The UE may adjust monitoring for the PDCCH following the discontinuous monitoring delay period during a temporal period based on the received indication to adjust monitoring of the PDCCH. In some examples, at least one of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception, downlink reference signal monitoring, uplink reference signal transmissions, and channel reporting is enabled during the temporal period while monitoring of the PDCCH is adjusted.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a configuration for a set of bandwidth part groups including an intra-group switching delay and an inter-group switching delay, where the intra-group switching delay is smaller than the inter-group switching delay. The UE may communicate with a base station on a first bandwidth part of a first bandwidth part group of the set of bandwidth part groups. The UE may switch to a second bandwidth part of the first bandwidth part group based at least in part on the intra-group switching delay, or the UE may switch to a third bandwidth part of a second bandwidth part group based at least in part on the inter-group switching delay. The UE may communicate with the base station on the second bandwidth part or the third bandwidth part based on switching.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A semi-independent discontinuous reception (DRX) group configuration for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate on at least a primary DRX group (PDG) and a secondary DRX group (SDG). The UE and a base station may implement a DRX coupling rule to ensure the PDG is in an active mode when the SDG is in an active mode. In some examples, the PDG, the SDG, or both may be configured for DRX long cycles, DRX short cycles, or both. The UE may determine active or inactive mode timers of each semi-independent DRX group. In some cases, the UE may trigger or extend an active mode of the PDG when an SDG active mode is triggered. Additionally, the UE may end an active mode of the SDG when an active mode of the PDG expires.

Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to an energy-aware architecture that supports a low power scheduling mode. For example, a media access control (MAC) architecture for a base station (e.g., an enhanced Node B) and associated access terminals (e.g., UEs) can take the power needs of the access terminals into account when scheduling the access terminals. In some aspects, an access terminal may support a particular frame structure for a low power mode. Accordingly, scheduling of the access terminal may include use of the particular frame structure during low power mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for antenna selection at a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a set of available antennas for uplink and downlink communications, and may select a first subset of antennas for uplink communications and a second subset of antennas for downlink communications. The first subset of antennas may be based on one or more uplink metrics, and the second subset of antennas may be based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or any combinations thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transition to communicating on a first bandwidth part from communicating on a second bandwidth part. In order to ensure that the UE is able to perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part, after transitioning to communicating on the first bandwidth part, the UE may be configured to perform receiver processing using reference signals received on the second bandwidth part. That is, for a configured period of time, before the UE is able to perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part using reference signals received on the first bandwidth part, the UE may perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part using reference signals received on the second bandwidth part.

Abstract: A base station transmits an indication of a configuration indicating one or more time-variable parameters for a group-specific wake-up signal (WUS) to an associated group of user equipment (UEs). The base station determines a value of the one or more time-variable parameters based on a time associated with the group-specific WUS and transmits the group-specific WUS to the group of UEs based on the determined value. A UE in the group of UEs receives the indication of the configuration from the base station and determines a value of the one or more time-variable parameters based on a time associated with the group-specific WUS. The UE monitors for the group-specific WUS based on the determined value.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for carrier group based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers and antenna adaptation. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a configuration of one or more groups of component carriers (CCs) and, for each group of CCs, one or more sets of configured maximum number of MIMO layers. Each set includes a configured maximum number of MIMO layers associated with each CC in the group. The UE receives an indication of at least one of the one or more sets and determines the configured maximum number of MIMO layers associated with each CC in the corresponding group of CCs based on the indication.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may distinguish between synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) intended for different classes of UEs. For example, a base station may transmit different SSBs in a physical broadcast channel with different configurations or parameters to indicate different UE classes, where UEs may monitor for and receive SSBs for their UE class. A UE may operate according to a UE class (e.g., New Radio (NR) Light) associated with lower bandwidths and may identify SSBs associated with this UE class to connect with a base station. The UE may identify the SSBs associated with the UE class based on a subcarrier-level offset value either implicitly or explicitly indicated to the UE. Additionally, the base station may transmit fields to indicate different parameters for subsequent communications transmitted according to the UE class.
