    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication systems configured to provide techniques for strategically placing a sounding reference signal (SRS) within a slot to improve the decoding timeline. Aspects of the disclosure further relate to wireless communication systems configured to optimize the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space within a slot to improve the decoding timeline. Features may also include placing the SRS near the end of the slot, such as after the uplink user data traffic and the corresponding uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS). In addition, features may also include identifying the PDCCH search space within the slot based on at least a slot index of the slot. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Dynamic channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) activation/deactivation via layer 1 signaling is discussed. An eNB may configure multiple dynamic CSI-RS resource configurations for a given user equipment (UE). Multiple dynamic CSI-RS configurations may be associated with CSI processes, and also one or more dynamic CSI-RS resources may be associated with multiple CSI processes. Each dynamic CSI-RS resource configuration may include the number of ports, RE locations, and power ratio, as well as the subframe configuration, which may include periodicity and subframe offset. The eNB may dynamically trigger or release the different dynamic CSI-RS resources through layer 1 signaling. Additional aspects provide for ways to determine dynamic CSI-RS transmission instances, to enhance rate matching to support dynamic CSI-RS transmissions, and to report CSI for dynamic CSI-RS resources.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communications utilizing discontinuous reception (DRX). Disclosed methods and apparatus include providing a grant indicator in a transmission from a base station to a user equipment (UE), where indicator notifies the UE of a grant of data during a subsequent discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle in the at least one UE. Additionally, a tracking reference signal (TRS), which may be aperiodic (A-TRS), is transmitted prior to an on-duration time of the DRX cycle, where the TRS is usable by the UE for updating a tracking loop and also can be referenced by the indicator. In this manner, the combination of the grant indicator and the TRS affords a UE sufficient time for updating a UE tracking loop before the DRX cycle. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for generating and communicating reference signals. Certain aspects provide a method for communicating reference signals. The method includes selecting a demodulation reference sequence (DMRS) of a plurality of DMRSs for transmission in a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on a half-frame in which the SSB is transmitted. The method further includes transmitting the selected DMRS in the SSB.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus relating to a long uplink burst channel design. In certain aspects, the method includes determining, based on a hopping pattern, a first set of frequency resources available for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) within a first portion of a transmission time interval (TTI) and a second set of frequency resources available for transmitting UCI within a second portion of the TTI. The method also includes transmitting the UCI using the determined first set of frequency resources and the second set of frequency resources.
