    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: 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.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive a first group downlink control information transmission associated with a UE group, where the first group downlink control information transmission may reference a second group downlink control information transmission (e.g., according to a pre-notification indication). The UE may determine a feedback condition for the second group downlink control information transmission and monitor for the second group downlink control information transmission. Alternatively, the UE may receive a second group downlink control information transmission referencing the first group downlink control information transmission (e.g., according to a post-confirmation indication), and the UE may determine a feedback condition for the first group downlink control information transmission. Based on the feedback condition, the UE may transmit feedback information, for example, indicating that the UE did not correctly receive the indicated group downlink control information transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control message from a base station. The downlink control message may include a grant for communication with the base station and an indication of a component carrier (CC) to use for transmission of uplink control information (UCI). The UE may determine a CC for UCI transmission based at least in part on the CC indication, and the UE may transmit an uplink message including the UCI via the determined CC.
