Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may identify a set of time instances to monitor for paging, wherein the set of time instances are identified based at least in part on a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle parameter set, identify a subset of time instances, of the set of time instances, for which a narrowband reference signal is to be monitored irrespective of whether paging is present on the subset of time instances, wherein the subset of time instances is identified based at least on a second DRX cycle parameter set; and communicate based at least on the set of time instances and the subset of time instances.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, an aerial user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a priority for cell selection for aerial UEs from each cell in a set of cells and may select a cell from the set of cells based on the priority of each cell in the set of cells. In another example, an aerial UE may connect to a network available to aerial UEs and non-aerial UEs for auxiliary communications, when appropriate. In yet another example, when an aerial UE transitions to a new mission status, the aerial UE may transmit a tracking area update (TAU) if the aerial UE is connected to a cell in a tracking area that does not support the new mission status. In yet another example, a base station may page an aerial UE based on a mission status of the aerial UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support techniques for wireless communications using preconfigured uplink resources. Generally, the described techniques provide for enhancement of communication features including frequency hopping, an uplink control channel, coverage enhancement, timing advance, uplink power control, reconfiguration, a downlink control channel, a downlink data channel, retransmissions, or subcarrier spacing for a UE in idle mode. The UE may receive an uplink resource configuration for uplink communications in idle mode, the uplink resource configuration comprising an indicator associated with allocated resources for the uplink communications in idle mode and a set of parameters. The UE may transmit, while in idle mode, a first uplink transmission associated with a transport block on the allocated resources and according to one or more of the parameters, and monitor for a response to the first uplink transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a base station may transmit an indication of a pre-compensation timing value for transmission of a random access message by an aerial user equipment (UE), the random access message part of a random access procedure between the base station and the aerial UE when the aerial UE is in a connected state. The pre-compensation timing value may be based on a location of the aerial UE. In some examples, the base station may monitor a set of random access resources associated with the pre-compensation timing value and the aerial UE for the random access message, and the aerial UE may transmit the random access message using a first random access resource of a set of random access resources associated with the pre-compensation timing value and the aerial UE.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback operations for multicast communications are provided. A first user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), a multicast feedback configuration indicating a first resource configuration for a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) feedback mode; and a second resource configuration for an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback mode. The first UE receives, from the BS, a first multicast communication. The first UE transmits, to the BS, a NACK feedback for the first multicast communication based on the first resource configuration. The first UE receives, from the BS, a second multicast communication. The first UE transmits, to the BS, an ACK feedback or a NACK feedback for the second multicast communication based on the second resource configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling that configures a downlink bandwidth for a broadcast channel transmission (e.g., a physical downlink control channel transmission). The UE may determine a bandwidth of the capability is less than the downlink bandwidth, and monitor search space occasions in a period to receive samples of the broadcast channel. The period and the search space occasions may be associated with a control resource set and a search space set. The UE may receive the samples in non-overlapping subbands of the bandwidth according to the bandwidth capability, and detect the broadcast channel based on the samples. The UE may additionally monitor repeated transmission occasions in the period based on detecting the broadcast channel to detect a second broadcast channel (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit multiple repetitions of a paging early indication (PEI) signal to a user equipment (UE) to indicate that the UE is to receive paging signaling in a paging occasion. In some cases, a PEI occasion for transmitting a PEI repetition may have a scheduling conflict. For example, a PEI occasion may collide with other downlink signaling. A UE may implement techniques to resolve scheduling conflicts or collisions for PEI repetitions. For example, the UE may be configured to receive either colliding PEI signaling or colliding downlink signaling based on priorities of the signaling. Additionally, or alternatively, PEI signaling may be shifted (e.g., delayed) until after the downlink signaling ends. In some cases, a UE may be configured with a subset of blind decoding hypotheses for PEI decoding.

Abstract: A base station may transmit a multicast transmission to a group of user equipments (UEs) that are each configured with a group radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI). The UEs may be configured to receive the transmission using the same modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and transport block size (TBS) such that the group of UEs may receive the same transmission. In particular, a UE may receive one or more configurations for multicast transmissions, each configuration associated with a G-RNTI. The UE may determine a MCS table for the G-RNTI. The UE may determine a TBS for a multicast transmission based on an overhead value for the G-RNTI. The UE may receive the multicast transmission based on the MCS table and the TBS.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may monitor a search space associated with a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to a multicast/broadcast (MBS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for at least one MBS PDCCH communication having a payload that is scrambled according to a PDCCH payload scrambling sequence based on a value of a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the value of the RNTI is equal to a group-RNTI (G-RNTI) or zero. The UE may receive the at least one MBS PDCCH communication. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein allocate and/or transmit a narrower bandwidth value for LTE MTC UEs, such as UEs that operate in a small bandwidth mode using LTE procedures, and allocate and/or transmit a wider bandwidth value for 5G MTC UEs, such as UEs that can perform hopping and/or be allocated resources outside of a legacy bandwidth. For example, the wider bandwidth value may be associated with a non-LTE carrier (e.g., a 5G carrier in a 5G bandwidth) with the same center frequency as an LTE carrier associated with the narrower bandwidth value. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide for initial access, signaling, paging, random access, unicast communications, frequency hopping, cell-specific reference signaling, narrowband alignment, and/or other coexistence considerations for LTE MTC UEs operating on an LTE carrier and 5G MTC UEs operating on a non-LTE carrier with a bandwidth that includes the LTE carrier.
