    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which beamforming may be configured at a user equipment (UE) for narrowband communications. The UE may be a narrowband UE that may provide an indication to a base station that the UE is capable of performing beamforming communication for a unicast channel transmission. Such an indication may be provided in response to the UE receiving a non-beamformed broadcast channel transmission from the base station via a first carrier. The base station may receive the indication and configure the UE with a beamformed narrowband communications scheme. Such a beamformed formed narrowband communications scheme may be used for narrowband downlink shared channel communications, narrowband downlink control channel communications, or combinations thereof. In some cases, beamformed communications may be configured on a different carrier than the first carrier. The base station and UE may then communicate using beamformed transmissions.

    Abstract: A method of providing positioning state information in a channel usable for conveying the positioning state information includes: obtaining a positioning state information resource allocation parameter; determining a positioning resource amount based on the positioning state information resource allocation parameter, the positioning resource amount being an amount of resources of the channel usable for conveying the positioning state information; and transmitting the positioning state information over the channel while occupying no more than the positioning resource amount of resources of the channel.
