    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to interpreting a timing advance (TA) command for members of a timing advance group (TAG), such as different uplink component carriers and/or different bandwidth parts, having different numerologies, such as different subarrier spacing (SCS). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a TA command. The UE interprets the TA command differently for different members of a same TAG, associated with different numerologies. The UE applies a timing adjustment when transmitting an uplink transmission to the BS based, at least in part, on the interpretation.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multiple timing advance offsets that may be used in communications between wireless devices on a wireless communications system. A first timing advance offset may be a fixed offset that has a predetermined value or is selected from a set of available predetermined values, and a second timing advance offset may be adjustable by a wireless device. The second timing advance offset may be used in cases where relatively large distances between wireless devices are present in a system, where certain fixed timing advances are used in addition to or irrespective of a receiving devices propagation delay, where one or more parent nodes have an associated timing reference, or combinations thereof.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communications system operating in millimeter wave (mmW) spectrum may utilize synchronization signals for beam tracking. A synchronization signal (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS), secondary synchronization signals (SSS), etc.), beam reference signal, and/or control signal may be designed to facilitate beam tracking. A synchronization signal structure based on a repeated sequence in the time domain may facilitate searching for different beams in a timely manner. In some cases, the repeated synchronization signal structure may be achieved by using a larger tone spacing, and hence having shorter symbol duration and repeating the short symbols in the time domain. The repeated structure may be further used to encode additional information (e.g., facilitated by the resulting additional degrees of freedom). Additionally or alternatively, a synchronization signal (e.g., SSS) may be discrete Fourier transform (DFT) pre-coded to achieve better peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for discontinuous reception (DRX) wake up procedures over millimeter wave (mmW) frequency resources. A base station may use multiple antenna ports to transmit one or more beamformed downlink transmissions to a user equipment (UE). The downlink transmissions may include beam-swept reference signals, and the UE may initiate a wake up procedure prior to a configured DRX-On cycle to receive the reference signals. Based on the reception of the reference signals, the UE may train a set of receive beams and determine a preferred downlink transmit beam. The base station may subsequently transmit at least a portion of a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) in a beam-swept manner, and the UE may evaluate the C-RNTI transmission on the preferred transmit beam. The UE may also transmit an uplink response indicating the preferred transmit beam to receive downlink data.
