Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives assistance data for enabling the UE to estimate a location of the UE, the assistance data including a relative location of each of a plurality of transmission points, wherein the relative location is represented as a hierarchy of two or more levels of description, wherein a highest level of description is relative to a fixed reference point, receives, from each of at least a subset of the plurality of transmission points, at least one positioning reference signal, and estimates the location of the UE based on characteristics of reception of the at least one positioning reference signal from each of the subset of the plurality of transmission points and the two or more levels of description and the fixed reference point for each of the subset of the plurality of transmission points.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, the method may include a user equipment (UE) transmitting, to a base station, first reference signals. The base station may perform channel estimation using the first reference signals and estimate a value for an uplink channel based on the channel estimation. The base station may generate second reference signals such that a characteristic of a downlink channel seen by the UE is within a target value and transmit the second reference signals to the UE. The UE may estimate a value for the characteristic of the downlink channel and obtain the target value from the estimated value. Both the UE and the base station may generate a secret using the target value and utilize the secret key for physical layer protection.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive, when operating in a multiple link communication system, one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages scheduling one or more downlink communications. The user equipment may determine, based at least in part on the one or more DCI messages, whether a communication constraint is satisfied for the one or more downlink communications. The user equipment may determine a communication configuration for the one or more downlink communications based at least in part on whether the communication constraint is satisfied. The user equipment may receive, in the multiple link communication system, the one or more downlink communications based at least in part on the communication configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may receive a first signal from a second wireless device and may identify a first bundle size for a precoding resource group (PRG) based on a characteristic of the first signal and, in some examples, based on performing channel estimation on the first signal. The first wireless device may transmit a feedback message to the second wireless device indicating a second bundle size for the PRG and associated with a second signal based on identifying the first bundle size. In some examples, the first wireless device may receive the second signal on a set of resources in accordance with the second bundle size. The first signal may be an example of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and the second signal may be an example of a precoded CSI-RS or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for reducing the overhead of low layer positioning reports. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) performs at least one positioning measurement of at least one downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) received from at least one transmission-reception point (TRP) during a positioning session, and reports, to a positioning entity via low layer signaling, a relative value of the at least one positioning measurement relative to an expected value of the at least one positioning measurement, wherein the relative value of the at least one positioning measurement is a difference between the expected value of the at least one positioning measurement and a measured value of the at least one positioning measurement.

Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communication system in which a network node (e.g., a base station, gNB, etc.) may be allowed to puncture a reference signal (RS) to deliver high priority data (e.g., URLLC data) to a user equipment (UE) that is not currently being served by the network node. The RS may comprise a puncturable subset and an unpuncturable subset. The puncturable subset may comprise resources of the RS that are allowed to be punctured, and the unpuncturable subset may comprise resources of the RS that are prohibited from being punctured. The network node may transmit the RS such that unpuncturable subset indicates whether or not the puncturable subset of the RS has or has not been punctured.
