Abstract:
Reference signals may not uniformly span over time and/or frequency on a resource unit. For example, reference signals may non-uniformly occupy symbols of a subframe. Alternatively, reference signals normally transmitted over certain tones of a subframe may have to be punctured to avoid collisions with a PSS and/or SSS transmitted over the same tones. Consequently, a UE may only be able to use a subset of reference signal tones for performing channel estimation. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for improving channel estimation under a non-uniform signal pattern. The apparatus indicates to a UE to utilize a subset of reference signals to derive a channel estimate for demodulating data in a specific subframe, and transmits a plurality of subframes, the plurality of subframes including the reference signals and the specific subframe, the specific subframe including a PSS and/or SSS.

Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a signal from an base station. The method also includes determining a timing advance loop from a set of timing advance loops, and/or a power control loop from a set of power control loops. The determination is based on the received signal.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication may include a mobile entity receiving a timing indicator for a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle during a DRX mode, and adjusting at least an acknowledgement timing in response to receiving the timing indicator for the DRX cycle. A base station in communication with the mobile entity may provide a timing indicator for a DRX cycle during a DRX mode to the mobile entity, transmit at least one of downlink (DL) data or an uplink (UL) grant indicator to the mobile entity at a first time, and waiting from the first time for a time period indicated by the timing indicator before receiving at least one of an acknowledgement of the DL data or UL data responsive to the UL grant from the mobile entity.
Abstract:
Aspects are presented which enable a UE to determine a supplementary uplink (SUL) configuration for an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI) for cancelling uplink communications in SUL. The UE receives from a base station a first configuration associated with a first block of an ULCI and associated with at least one of a SUL carrier a non-supplementary uplink (NUL) carrier in a cell. The base station configures the UE with a second configuration associated with a second block of the ULCI and associated with a SUL carrier in the cell, and the UE determines the second configuration. The UE monitors the ULCI based on the first configuration and the second configuration.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to obtaining a duplex mode of a scheduled entity, selecting a downlink-uplink (DU) slot interpretation to be applied by the scheduled entity to a slot including a DU symbol based on the duplex mode of the scheduled entity, and transmitting the DU slot interpretation to the scheduled entity. The DU symbol may be configured to include a downlink transmission and an uplink transmission within a same carrier bandwidth. Other aspects relate to receiving a message, indicating that the slot is formatted with a DU symbol, selecting a DU slot interpretation to be applied to the slot including the DU symbol based on a duplex mode of the scheduled entity, and applying the DU slot interpretation to the slot. Other aspects, examples, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for switching configurations for uplink transmission switching. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity such as a base station, a switching configuration for an uplink transmission switching for three or more carriers. The switching configuration may be associated with switching one or more uplink transmission chains of the UE from or to one or more carriers of the three or more carriers within a time period. The switching configuration may be associated with a UE capability. The switching configuration may permit switching from or to one carrier within the time period associated with the UE capability. The switching configuration may permit switching from or to two carriers within the time period associated with the UE capability. The switching configuration may depend on the UE capability, thereby not causing the uplink transmission switching to degrade a performance of the UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include a first network node receiving a configuration message for a report by the first network node of parameters for a temporal domain precoder. The configuration message may indicate a range of Doppler frequencies, a resolution associated with the range of Doppler frequencies, or a quantity of the parameters to be reported. The first network node may estimate a communications channel and select one or more bins within the range of Doppler frequencies based on the channel estimation. For each selected bin, the first network node may determine a corresponding discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector and transmit a report indicating the corresponding DFT vector.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a first slot for a semi persistent scheduled (SPS) transmission on a first serving cell of multiple serving cells in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The UE may be configured to transmit feedback information for the SPS transmission in a target slot. The UE may select either the target slot or a subsequent second slot for transmission of the feedback information based on an availability of uplink resources on the multiple serving cells in the target slot. The UE may transmit the feedback information to a base station in the target slot or the subsequent second slot based on the selection. The described techniques may enable the UE to transmit the feedback information with reduced latency, among other benefits.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication, by a user equipment (UE), includes receiving, from a network device, a trigger command initiating a hash-based random access procedure. The trigger command includes a target hash value and one or more rules for selecting preambles. The method also includes selecting, based on the trigger command, one or more random access channel (RACH) occasions (RO) for potential preamble transmission. The method further includes calculating at least one hash value in response to the trigger command based on computational resources of the UE. The method also includes transmitting a preamble on the at least one selected RO based on the at least one hash value and the target hash value.
