Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support multiplexing multicast and unicast feedback. A base station may provision different subsets of resources from a set of resources for multicast feedback message transmission based on channel metric(s) of a user equipment (UE). The set of resources may include a plurality of subsets of resources, with each subset of resources being associated with a corresponding channel metric or range of channel metrics associated with each UE receiving the multicast transmission. A UE may determine that a feedback indication is to be provided in response to the multicast transmission, and select a subset of resources from the plurality of subsets of resources based on its own channel metric. The UE may multiplex the multicast feedback, an indication of the selected subset, and unicast feedback in a multiplexed feedback transmission to the base station.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include establishing a connection between the UE and a network node of a non-terrestrial network, identifying, based on a synchronization failure event and while the UE is in a connected mode in accordance with establishing the connection, that a location failure condition has occurred for the connection, and performing, at least in part in response to the location failure condition, one or more actions of a location failure recovery procedure to restore a synchronization associated with the connection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A non-terrestrial network (NTN) device (e.g., a satellite, base station) may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), at a first frequency a synchronization signal block (SSB) that indicates a second frequency of a control resource set (CORESET) relative to the SSB, where the second frequency is based on one or more of: a CORESET bandwidth, a combination of a first parameter associated with a first portion of the SSB and a second parameter associated with a second portion of the SSB, or both. The UE may monitor the CORESET at the indicated second frequency for a downlink control channel transmission. The NTN device may transmit, to the UE, a downlink control channel transmission over the CORESET. The NTN device may transmit, to the UE, system information based on the downlink control channel transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a network may establish communications over a directional beam. The UE may receive, from the network, a configuration of one or more channel sounding messages for one or more directional beams, where each directional beam of the one or more directional beams is associated with a set of narrowband carriers, and each of the one or more channel sounding messages being configured for transmission on a narrowband carrier of the set of narrowband carriers. The UE may determine a trigger for transmitting the one or more channel sounding messaged based at least in part on the configuration and transmit, to the network, the one or more channel sounding messages on respective narrowband carriers in accordance with the trigger and the configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives one or more downlink signals using a first beam associated with a first set of frequency resources, switches from the first beam to a second beam associated with a second set of frequency resources, selects a set of frequency resources for transmitting feedback information associated with the one or more downlink signals, and transmits the feedback information to the base station using the selected set of frequency resources. In some examples, the UE transmits one or more uplink signals to a base station using a first beam associated with a first set of frequency resources, switches from the first beam to a second beam associated with a second set of frequency resources, and determines whether to send a retransmission of the one or more uplink signals based at least in part on switching.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may use enhanced techniques for determining whether a transmission is scheduled to include new data when a mode for reporting acknowledgment feedback is disabled for one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes used by the receiving device. An enhanced technique may include increasing a quantity of bits used to convey an indication of whether a scheduled data transmission includes new data. An enhanced technique may include monitoring a duration between transmissions scheduled by different control messages based on a timing parameter that indicates a maximum time between transmissions of a data set and corresponding transmission including the data set.

Abstract: Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) may establish uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) radio frame timing structures to efficiently account for propagation delay and propagation delay variation associated with communications in the NTN. NTNs may manage (synchronize) radio frame timing structures of base stations (e.g., satellites) and user equipment (UEs) in the NTN. Further, UEs may determine timing advance (TA) values to be applied to UL transmissions based on their respective scheduling offset (e.g., offset in UL and DL radio frame timing structures), as well as based on propagation delay or round trip time (RTT). As such, served UEs may determine UL timing such that UL transmissions from the UEs to a satellite arrives at the satellite in a time synchronized manner. In other cases, a satellite may determine UL timing, based on reception timing, such that various UEs in the NTN may implement uniform UL and DL radio frame timing structures.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhancing ephemeris for non-terrestrial networks. For example, UEs of different orbit propagation capabilities (e.g., computing orbit propagation models of different accuracy levels) may receive additional ephemeris parameters. In one aspect, a network entity may determine at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters that includes different ephemeris parameters than one or more basic sets of ephemeris parameters associated with a satellite that provides a coverage for the network entity. The network entity may transmit broadcast signaling indicating the at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters. The UE may receive and use the at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters in an orbit propagation model to compute a state of motion of the satellite.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a first cell. The UE may receive a request to report one or more parameters associated with handover from the first cell to a second cell during a time period. The one or more parameters may include an estimated propagation delay between the UE and the second cell during the time period, an estimated rate of change in propagation delay during the time period, or both. The UE may transmit a message indicating the parameters in response to the request. The UE may receive an indication of an uplink grant occasion associated with the handover during the time period based on indicating the parameters.
