    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for unambiguous mapping between downlink control channel transmissions, downlink shared channel transmissions, and uplink acknowledgment feedback resources. The uplink acknowledgment feedback resource may be located within a same transmission time interval (TTI). A base station may configure codebook-based acknowledgment resources from a user equipment (UE), and feedback delay values may be associated with time domain resources of the downlink shared channel transmissions. In some examples, feedback delay values may be associated with particular search spaces or monitoring occasions of the downlink control channel transmissions that include resource allocations for the downlink shared channel transmissions. A UE using codebook-based acknowledgment feedback resources may thus unambiguously identify uplink resources that are to be used for transmitting the uplink acknowledgment feedback.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a transmitting device may be configured to transmit a transport block in a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) of a repetition window to improve the chances that the transport block is received by a receiving device. In some cases, however, the transport block may not be available to be transmitted in the repetition window until after a first TTI of the repetition window. In such cases, a transmitting device may use the techniques described herein to identify appropriate configurations for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window. For example, the transmitting device may identify an adjusted redundancy version sequence to use for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window or the transmitting device may adjust a repetition window based on a TTI in which the transport block is available to be transmitted.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a group-common downlink control information (DCI) message, wherein the group-common DCI message includes information identifying at least one communication parameter for a plurality of UEs. The BS and the UE may communicate in accordance with the at least one communication parameter based at least in part on the BS transmitting the group-common DCI message to the plurality of UEs and the UE receiving the group-common DCI message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. As described herein, a service type may be configured, activated, and utilized for subsequent communications according to the service type. For example, a user equipment (UE) may monitor a downlink control channel associated with the service type based on configuring the service type and activating the service type, receive downlink messages associated with the service type, or transmit uplink messages associated with the service type. In some cases, the service type may be activated by transmitting a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) or a downlink control information (DCI) message. When traffic associated with the service type is no longer present, the service type may be deactivated based on a deactivation indication and/or a deactivation timer. In some cases, the service type may include an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) service or a low latency service.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein related to communicating a quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) for configuring physical (PHY) layer signaling. The QCI may be used to configure one or more transmission parameters of a device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or a base station) at a PHY layer. The PHY layer may select the one or more transmission parameters to meet the QoS conditions of a given QoS class of a transport block being communicated. A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer, or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer. In some cases, the QCI may be a single bit included in a downlink control message.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for encoding and decoding bits of information using cyclic redundancy check (CRC) concatenated polar encoding and decoding. The CRC concatenated polar encoding techniques may avoid transmission of dummy bits. A method generally includes obtaining the bits of information to be transmitted. The method includes performing CRC outer encoding of the bits of information using an even-weighted generator polynomial to produce CRC encoded bits. The method includes performing polar inner encoding of the CRC encoded bits to generate a codeword. The method includes discarding a first code bit at a beginning of the codeword. The shortened codeword is transmitted over a wireless medium. In another method, bit-level scrambling is performed on the CRC encoded bits before the polar encoding to avoid generating a dummy bit. In another method, only odd-weighted generator polynomials are selected to avoid generating the dummy bit.

In an aspect, the apparatus also includes a modulator configured to modulate the one or more instances of the codeword onto the multiple carrier components for transmission. In an aspect, the apparatus also includes a resource manager configured to provide the processor with a virtual carrier space comprising a logical carrier having a contiguous bandwidth equivalent to the aggregated bandwidth of the multiple carrier components. In an aspect, the process may be further configured to interleave at least one of the codeword instances across the multiple carrier components. In an aspect, the modulator may be configured to modulate the codeword instance onto the multiple carrier components in accordance to the interleaving.
