    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control message identifying a frequency hop configuration that configures the UE to use frequency hopping when transmitting repetitions of an uplink control channel transmission. The UE, the base station, or both may determine, based on the UE being configured with the frequency hop configuration, a frequency hop for each repetition of the uplink control channel transmission. Each frequency hop may be determined based on a corresponding uplink control channel index for a respective repetition a frequency hop for each repetition of the uplink control channel transmission. The uplink control channel index may be an uplink transmission occasion index, or a repetition index. The UE may transmit the repetitions of the uplink control channel transmission using respective frequency hops in accordance with the determination and the frequency hop configuration.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling from a base station including a configuration for multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) including uplink symbols, downlink symbols, flexible symbols, or a combination. The UE may receive a grant scheduling one or more repetitions of an uplink shared channel carrying an uplink random access message from the base station. The UE may determine available TTIs for the repetitions based on a pre-TTI evaluation of symbols according to a rule that defines types of symbols available for the uplink shared channel. The UE may transmit the repetitions on the available TTIs according to the rule.

    Abstract: A configuration to enable a UE to determine a slot direction for communication with a base station while operating in half duplex FDD with carrier aggregation. The apparatus receives a first indication of a slot pattern for a plurality of slots associated with at least one component carrier assigned to the UE, wherein the first indication indicates that each of the plurality of slots is one of an uplink slot, a downlink slot, a special slot, or a flexible slot, and the plurality of slots includes a flexible slot. The apparatus receives, from the base station, a second indication indicating whether the flexible slot is the uplink slot or the downlink slot. The apparatus communicates with a base station based on at least one of the first indication or the second indication.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform a dual active link handover procedure from a source base station to a target base station. During the dual active link handover procedure, the UE may have connections to both of the base stations concurrently. In such cases, transmission opportunities for communicating with the base stations may conflict. To handle conflicting transmission opportunities, the UE may drop a monitoring occasion or a packet reception for a base station based on prioritization rules. In some cases, to mitigate packet losses, the base station may configure re-transmissions or slot aggregation to provide the UE with additional opportunities to receive a packet. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may transmit a notification message to a base station indicating dropped monitoring occasions or packets.

    Abstract: In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for connecting, by a user equipment (UE), to a source cell via a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state; connecting, by the UE, to a target cell via a second TCI state during a handover from the source cell to the target cell; determining, by the UE, whether a first transmission using the first TCI state overlaps in time with a second transmission using the second TCI state; and performing, by the UE, TCI selection between the first beam and the second TCI state based at least in part on the determination of whether the first transmission using the first TCI state overlaps or does not overlap with the second transmission using the second TCI state.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set configuration for a plurality of SRS resources that correspond to respective SRS ports on which an SRS is to be transmitted; transmit SRSs using the SRS resources; receive downlink control information that identifies a sequence of SRS resource indicator (SRI) collections, where an SRI collection identifies one or more of the SRS resources used for transmitting the SRSs; and transmit a plurality of repetitions of an uplink communication based at least in part on the sequence of SRI collections, where a repetition is transmitted using one or more uplink ports that correspond to one or more SRS ports associated with the one or more SRS resources identified based at least in part on the SRI collection. Numerous other aspects are provided.
