Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) and a base station may participate in a one-shot initial access procedure involving a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) divided into a number of sub-RISs, each sub-RIS associated with a different configuration for reflecting signaling from the base station. In some aspects, the base station may configure each sub-RIS to have a different frequency shift and transmit, to the UE, a parameter indicating a quantity of synchronization rasters associated with each of a set of beams that the base station may use as part of the one-shot initial access procedure. The UE may, for each beam, monitor a quantity of monitoring occasions corresponding to the quantity of synchronization rasters and transmit random access signaling to the base station based on which synchronization raster of which beam provides a greatest signal strength at the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may communicate with a user equipment (UE) via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) which is capable of adjusting a reflection characteristic to reflect incident signaling in different directions. The base station and the RIS may establish a beamformed connection and, in some scenarios, the base station and the RIS may experience a beam failure. In such scenarios, the base station, the UE, and the RIS may participate in a two-step beam training procedure to reduce an amount of possible beam pair hypotheses that the communicating devices test in order to re-establish communication between the base station and the UE via the RIS. The two-step beam training procedure may include a first procedure in which the RIS selects a suitable beam toward the base station and a second procedure that leverages the selected beam.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to beam sweeping with controllable reflective surfaces in the presence of co-located base stations of different network operators. A first base station that is co-located at a site with a second base station may perform a first beam sweep. The first beam sweep includes transmitting a plurality of directional beams. The first base station further transmits a control signal to a controllable reflective surface to control the controllable reflective surface to reduce a likelihood of a redirection of a directional beam of a potential second beam sweep by the second base station towards a user equipment associated with the second base station. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction based on a tone reservation (TR) algorithm. For a TR algorithm, a suitable subset of tones from among a full set of tones in a given resource allocation are reserved for use as peak reduction tones (PRT). An apparatus such as a transmission/reception point receives a set of one or more PRT sequences and stores them in memory. The transmission/reception point then determines a set of PRTs based on one or more later-received PRT sequence selection parameters. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction are described. Wireless devices may use one or more PAPR shaping resources, such as expanded bandwidth and/or pulse-shaping filtering, for shaping a signal to reduce PAPR. For example, expanded bandwidth may be utilized for adding a cyclic affix (CA), such as may comprise a cyclic prefix (CP), cyclic suffix (CS), etc., and combinations thereof, to a frequency domain data signal to provide a CP augmented frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Additionally or alternatively, pulse-shaping filtering may be applied to a frequency domain signal to provide a pulse-shaped frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may improve the efficiency and performance of the tone reservation PAPR reduction technique by allocating peak reduction tone based at least in part on a channel condition, such as based on the signal to noise ratio of the channel. In some aspects, a transmitting device measures a signal to noise ratio for a plurality of tones within a frequency resource. The transmitting device selects a location of one or more reserved tones (e.g., peak reduction tones) among one or more tones based at least in part on an SNR for one or more tones. The transmitting device transmits data to a receiving device in a subset of the plurality of tones that does not include the one or more peak reduction tones. Other aspects and features are also disclosed.
