    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to a control resource set (coreset) for transmitting physical downlink control channels using a single-carrier waveform in communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. In an exemplary method, a base station may determine a first control resource set (coreset) of time and frequency resources within a control region of system bandwidth, to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to a user equipment (UE) and transmit the PDCCH to the UE as a single-carrier waveform via the first coreset of time and frequency resources.

    Abstract: Aspects and techniques relate to scheduling resources for uplink transmissions in wireless communication systems. In some examples, an allocation of resources for uplink may be based on a common reference resource (e.g., a reference physical resource block, PRB) also used for allocation of resources for downlink In other examples, allocation of resources for uplink may be based on a different reference resource. A scheduler may further provide an indication whether the same, common reference resource is used, or a different reference resource. A scheduler may further indicate a different reference resource as needed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to initial network access in a network deployed over a downlink unlicensed band paired with one or more UL bands are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device in a downlink unlicensed band, a first broadcast communication signal during a discovery time period configured based on a network discovery configuration. The first broadcast communication signal includes a configuration for requesting a second broadcast communication signal when there is no second broadcast communication signal detected within the discovery time period. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a request for the second broadcast communication signal based on the configuration. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device in the downlink unlicensed band, the second broadcast communication signal outside of the discovery time period in response to the request.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communications and more specifically for handling hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes with discontinuous reception (DRX) operations. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may use a timer to maintain an ON duration in a DRX cycle based on receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message with a data-to-feedback timing indicator (for example, a K1 value) indicating a non-numeric value for a data message. For example, the UE may receive a DCI message with feedback timing for the data message based on maintaining the ON duration. In some other implementations, a UE may use a timer to maintain an ON duration following a feedback opportunity to support dynamic group-based HARQ messaging. For example, the UE may receive a DCI message requesting a retransmission of feedback information based on maintaining the ON duration.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support group-based acknowledgment feedback techniques. Two or more different groups of downlink transmissions may each have an associated transport block (TB) level or code block group (CBG) level group-based acknowledgment feedback, and a base station may transmit downlink control information to a UE that indicates one or more parameters that are used to determine which downlink transmissions are to be reported in the group-based feedback at a TB level, CBG level, or combinations thereof. Based on the parameters in the downlink control information, the UE may determine the feedback to be reported, and a timing for when to transmit the feedback to the base station.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a set of one or more uplink grants scheduling at least a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission during a channel occupancy time of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may identify a transmission gap between the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission of the plurality of uplink transmissions by the UE during the channel occupancy time, the transmission gap exceeding a threshold time. The UE may determine that the transmission gap corresponds to a lost uplink grant. The UE may modify the first uplink transmission or the second uplink transmission based at least in part on the determination that the transmission gap corresponds to the lost uplink grant.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In systems supporting multiple communication protocol types (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communication and enhance mobile broadband communication), a user equipment may implement multiplexing rules for handling overlapping transmissions of different communication protocols. For example, if lower latency data supports multiplexing with higher latency data and a lower latency resource overlaps (either partially or completely) with a higher latency resource, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. Similarly, if low latency uplink control information supports multiplexing with a slot-based physical uplink shared channel, and the physical uplink shared channel has its own uplink control information, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. If slot-based uplink control information overlaps (either partially or completely) with low latency data, then, likewise, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. Controlling multiplexing may support meeting low latency thresholds.

    Abstract: In order to improve the selection of search space candidates for a downlink control channel, an apparatus determines a set of decoding candidates of a lower aggregation level for a downlink control channel based on a random selection from a plurality of potential decoding candidates, wherein the plurality of potential decoding candidates are defined from a second set of decoding candidates of a higher aggregation level. The apparatus then attempts to decode the downlink control channel based on determined sets of decoding candidates of different aggregation levels. The downlink control channel may comprise a PDCCH.
