    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some systems may support wireless communications in high frequency millimeter wave (mmW) bands, such as frequency range 4 (FR4) or other frequency ranges. To support such communications, a base station may dynamically configure a cyclic prefix (CP) length for single carrier waveform communications. The base station may determine the CP length to handle a beam switching delay, a delay spread of a physical propagation channel, or both. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may provide feedback to the base station, and the base station may configure the UE with a CP length based on the feedback. The base station may transmit a configuration message to a UE indicating the configured CP length. A single carrier waveform with the configured CP length may maintain a symbol-level alignment with other supported waveforms, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first node may determine a grid allocation of single carrier resource blocks (SC-RBs) that defines a plurality of SC-RBs in a time domain and in a frequency domain. The first node may perform, to a second node, a frequency division multiplexed transmission associated with a single carrier waveform using one or more SC-RBs indicated in the grid allocation of SC-RBs. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access preamble to a base station as part of a random access procedure between the UE and the base station. To generate the random access preamble, the UE may repeat each time domain sample of a base sequence on a per-sample basis to obtain a repeated sequence that includes multiple repetitions of each time domain sample of the base sequence, with repetitions of the same sample being consecutive within the repeated sequence. The UE may perform such sample-wise repetition before adding a cyclic prefix (CP) to the repeated sequence or after adding a base CP to the base sequence.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support guard interval (GI) configurations for multiple links. For example, a user equipment (UE) may determine a first GI duration for a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second GI duration for a second TRP, when the UE is operating in a multi-TRP mode. The UE may determine the GI durations based on a difference in timing between signal reception from the first and second TRPs and may transmit a signal to one or both of the TRPs to indicate the GI durations. Based on the indicated GI durations, the first and second TRPs may transmit signaling to the UE that includes or implements the corresponding GI duration for each TRP. For example, the signaling may include a GI appended at the end of each symbol period that has a GI duration corresponding to the respective TRP.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which control information is transmitted using a single carrier (SC) waveform in time domain blocks without a cyclic prefix (CP). A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) for control information transmissions using a SC waveform without CPs in time domain blocks, and may activate the SC waveform without CPs in time domain blocks based on one or more parameters. The control information may be non-uniformly segmented across two or more time domain blocks or two or more portions of a time domain block. A reference signal, such as a demodulation reference signal, may be transmitted in the time domain blocks, where the reference signals may be distributed evenly or unevenly across the time domain blocks.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may determine a phase noise profile and may transmit the phase noise profile to a receiving device. The receiving device may use the phase noise profile and received phase tracking reference signals to more accurately determine phase errors on a wireless channel between the two devices and compensate for the phase noise errors. In examples where the UE transmits the phase noise profile to the base station, the UE may include the phase noise profile in a measurement report or in a radio resource control (RRC) message, among other examples. In examples where the base station transmits the phase noise profile to a UE, the base station may include the phase noise profile in a broadcast message, a unicast message, or an RRC message.
