    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 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.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a resource allocation indicating a plurality of transmission tones comprising a subset of data tones of a plurality of data tones and a subset of peak reduction tones (PRTs) of a plurality of PRTs, wherein the resource allocation indicates locations for the plurality of data tones and locations for the plurality of PRTs within a particular bandwidth, wherein the locations for the plurality of PRTs are arranged relative to the locations for the plurality of data tones according to a PRT subsequence of a universal PRT sequence, and wherein the PRT subsequence corresponds to a sub-band of the particular bandwidth; and transmit a data transmission using a waveform based at least in part on the resource allocation. Numerous other aspects are provided.
