Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for downlink control information (DCI) communication and processing. One example method generally includes determining a limit, between a transmission time of a control channel carrying a DCI of a plurality of DCI and a time of an event enabled by the DCI, of a quantity of the plurality of DCI in a frame, generating a frame comprising the plurality of DCI in accordance with the determined limit, and transmitting the frame to a user-equipment (UE).

Abstract: In a legacy gNB (e.g., pre-Rel. 17 gNB), RC UEs with only 1 or 2 receive antennas may have a geographic coverage area for control data and traffic data that is smaller than their geographic coverage area for SSB with respect to certain legacy gNBs. By contrast, at least some new gNBs (e.g., Rel. 17+ gNBs) have the capability to provide uniform geographic coverage for RC UEs with respect to SSB, control data and traffic data. In an aspect of the disclosure, a particular class of UEs (such as RC UEs) is steered towards particular cells (e.g., Rel. 17+ gNBs) via one or more biased class-specific cell selection parameters included in system information from the cells.

Abstract: Feedback reports (e.g., hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) codebooks) may provide feedback for both downlink data messages (e.g., physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) messages) and control messages (e.g., physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) messages). As such, a base station may transmit an indication of a power savings mode in a control message (e.g., in scheduling downlink control information (DCI)), and the base station may be able to confirm whether a user equipment (UE) received (e.g., and implemented) the power savings mode via the feedback corresponding to the control message carrying the indication of the power savings mode. The techniques described herein may provide for improved synchronization of base station and UE power savings modes (e.g., as a base station may or may not implement a new power saving mode depending on whether the control message indicating the new power saving mode was successfully received and acknowledged).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify one or more radio frequency (RF) spectrum bands for full-duplex communications, and may signal an indication of the UE's capability to support full-duplex communications for each RF spectrum band. The UE may further receive one or more configurations for full-duplex communications, which, in some examples, may be based on the UE's indicated capabilities. As an example, the UE may identify a guard band configuration for full-duplex communications, where the guard band configuration may be based on one or more aspects of resources used for the full-duplex communications. In other cases, the UE may identify a transmission hopping or antenna switching configuration for full-duplex communications. In any case, the UE may communicate with a base station in accordance with the one or more configurations and the UE's capabilities.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for antenna selection at a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a set of available antennas for uplink and downlink communications, and may select a first subset of antennas for uplink communications and a second subset of antennas for downlink communications. The first subset of antennas may be based on one or more uplink metrics, and the second subset of antennas may be based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or any combinations thereof.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a discontinuous reception (DRX) short cadence value that corresponds to a number of Hertz (Hz). The UE may sleep as part of a DRX cycle. The UE may wake up, starting at a subframe, based at least in part on the DRX short cadence value and a subframe identifier of the subframe. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Different sets of downlink control information (DCI) fields may be configured for DCI that includes an indication to trigger bandwidth part switching at a user equipment (UE). For example, a UE may receive DCI that triggers the UE to switch operation from a first bandwidth part to a second bandwidth part. The UE may also identify a set of transformable DCI fields and a set of non-transformable DCI fields within the DCI. The UE may then determine updated content of the DCI for application to the second bandwidth part based on whether DCI fields are included in the set of transformable or the set of non-transformable fields. In some cases, the UE may identify a null assignment in the received DCI and may switch its operation from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part based on the null assignment.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a control channel in a primary cell, one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages that include a secondary cell (SCell) dormancy indication and a request for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The DCI messages may have a format associated with downlink scheduling, and fields used to carry the SCell dormancy indication and the request for HARQ feedback may have a configuration that depends on whether the DCI messages are used to schedule a downlink data transmission. Furthermore, in some aspects, a DCI message may include a field that has a value to indicate whether the DCI message does or does not schedule a downlink data transmission, to enable the UE to correctly receive and decode the SCell dormancy indication and the request for HARQ feedback.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may implement cross-carrier scheduling. A user equipment (UE) may identify a minimum scheduling delay and may receive a downlink grant on a first CC. The UE may further identify the slot in which a downlink data transmission corresponding to the downlink grant will be received, and may identify the slot such that the minimum scheduling delay is satisfied. The UE may the receive the downlink data transmission, as indicated in the downlink grant, in the identified slot. In some examples, the UE and the base station may alternate between a long minimum scheduling delay and a short minimum scheduling delay. In some examples, the UE and the base station may alternate between a cross-carrier mode, and a self-scheduling mode.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to receiving or determining an indication of multiple component carriers (CCs) configured wireless communications, communicating in a first bandwidth part (BWP) within a first one of the multiple CCs during a first time period, and communicating, based on a hopping pattern, in a second BWP within a second one of the multiple CCs during a second time period.
