    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described, including techniques for utilizing implicit or explicit signaling to indicate a cancellation of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling. A first user equipment (UE) may perform DMRS bundling across physical sidelink channels transmitted to a second UE to enable the second UE to perform joint channel estimation. In some examples, based on a detected change, either at the first UE or the second UE, the first UE may signal to the second UE that the DMRS bundling is canceled. In some examples, the detected change may be a resource allocation change, a physical channel configuration change, a change in a quasi-colocation (QCL) relationship at the first UE, or a change in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state at the first UE. Additionally or alternatively, the first UE or the second UE may request the cancellation based on detected changes.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a wireless device may modify a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) generation and attachment operation based on a secret key to support enhanced security. In some examples, a first device may identify a set of data to transmit to a second device and prior to transmitting the set of data, the first device and the second device may obtain a set of key bits for data protection. The first device may generate a bit vector based on a subset of the set of key bits and a cyclic redundancy check polynomial. The transmitting device may then generate an encoded codeword based on the bit vector and transmit the encoded codeword to the second wireless device. The second device may decode the encoded codeword and obtain the set of data based on the set of key bits.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive a message that includes downlink control information (DCI) pertaining to system information that is scheduled to be received from a base station. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the message, whether the system information that is scheduled is remaining minimum system information (RMSI) or is other system information (OSI), and searching a downlink bandwidth part for the scheduled RMSI or OSI determined from the message. The described techniques may serve to resolve ambiguity between RMSI and OSI, for instance, when scheduled in the same control region and having overlapping search spaces.

    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: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support allocation of resources for a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for reduced bandwidth devices. In a first aspect, a method includes monitoring, by a user equipment (UE) configured for reduced bandwidth operation, at least a subset of a first set of time and frequency resources allocated to a synchronization signal block (SSB) for UEs configured for non-reduced bandwidth operation. The SSB includes synchronization signals and a PBCH. The method includes monitoring, by the UE, a second set of time and frequency resources allocated to the PBCH for UEs configured for reduced bandwidth operation. The method includes receiving, by the UE, the synchronization signals and the PBCH within at least the subset of the first set of time and frequency resources and the second set of time and frequency resources. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) message indicating the UE is to transmit a transport block over multiple available slots on at least a first carrier and a resource allocation for the transport block. The multiple available slots my span a time interval. The UE may receive, from the base station, a second DCI message indicating the UE is to switch from the first carrier to a second carrier during the interval. Based on the second DCI message, the UE may transmit at least a first portion of coded bits corresponding to the transport block on the first carrier in at least one available slot of the multiple available slots.

    Abstract: Bandwidth part (BWP) configurations supporting various communication approaches (e.g., full duplex and/or half duplex operations) are described. Full duplex (FD) frequency-based BWP configurations may, for example, be configured as a subset of defined BWP resources for supporting full duplex operation by base stations and/or user equipments (UEs). Usable bandwidth of a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected from half duplex frequency-based BWPs in legacy BWPs. Bandwidths of usable BWPs for a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected so as to be non-overlapping in frequency. Transition between configurations and modes (e.g., between full duplex frequency-based BWP configurations, between half duplex and full duplex modes, etc.) may be managed to avoid periods in which a communication device cannot perform any uplink or downlink transmissions due to switching between defined BWP configurations, or otherwise reduces BWP switching time. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
