    Abstract: In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines a resource configuration and a transmit power for a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble sequence and/or a configuration and a transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource unit (PRU) based on positioning information of the UE relative to the base station, the speed of the UE relative to the base station, and/or a radio resource control (RRC) state of the UE, transmits, to the base station, a message comprising the PRACH preamble sequence on a PRACH occasion and a payload on a PRU occasion based on the determined resource configuration and transmit power for the PRACH preamble sequence and/or the determined resource configuration and transmit power for the PRU, and receives, from the base station, a second message comprising information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a payload on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

    Abstract: User equipments (UEs) with reduced capabilities may need a relaxed processing timeline relative to standard UEs. The relaxed processing timeline may provide UEs with reduced capabilities an appropriate amount of time (e.g., during a random access procedure) to decode messages from a base station (BS) and/or to prepare uplink messages. Aspects of the disclosure relate to a UE configured to transmit a message to a serving BS, the message including a request for timeline relaxation for transmission of a subsequent message, the message and the subsequent message being associated with a random access procedure. The UE may receive a response message associated with the random access procedure and indicating one or more timing offsets corresponding to the timeline relaxation. The UE may transmit the subsequent message to the serving BS based on the one or more timing offsets indicated by the serving BS. The subsequent message acknowledges the response message.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications, and more specifically to sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions in enhanced machine type communication (MTC). An example method generally includes determining one or more narrowband regions partitioned from wider system bandwidth for communicating with a base station, determining resources, within the one or more narrowband regions of a first subframe, for transmission of sounding reference signals (SRS) by the UE, deciding whether or not to transmit SRS on the determined resources of the first subframe, and transmitting or not transmitting the SRS on the determined resources of the first subframe based on the decision.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from another UE, a coordination message that includes resource information (e.g., a preference status) for communication resources. The UE receiving the coordination message may determine a status of one or more resources based on the resource information, an intended recipient of the coordination message (e.g., based on a destination identifier of the coordination message), or a communication connection associated with the one or more resources. The status may indicate that a respective resource of the one or more resources is available, reserved, preferred, or non-preferred, or some combination thereof. In some examples, the one or more resources may be for a sidelink connection or a unicast connection. The receiving UE may utilize the determined status to select one or more resources for a sidelink transmission.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for collision handling for channel state information (CSI) reporting on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving scheduling for at least one CSI reporting transmission and at least one uplink transmission in a same slot. The UE determines to multiplex the at least one CSI and the at least one uplink transmission in the slot or to drop the at least one CSI or the at least one uplink transmission in the slot. The UE transmits in the slot at least one of: the at least one CSI transmission or the at least one uplink transmission based on the determination.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to reallocating resources assigned to sidelinks are provided. A first user equipment receives a preemption indication from a base station. The preemption indication is for reallocating resources allocated for communication between the first user equipment and the base station and for sidelink communication between the first user equipment and a second user equipment. Based on the preemption indication, the first user equipment reallocates the resources for the communication between the first user equipment and the base station. Based on the preemption indication, the first user equipment reallocates the resources for the sidelink communication between the first user equipment and the second user equipment.

    Abstract: In order to improve the selection of search space candidates for a downlink control channel, an apparatus determines a set of decoding candidates of a lower aggregation level for a downlink control channel based on a random selection from a plurality of potential decoding candidates, wherein the plurality of potential decoding candidates are defined from a second set of decoding candidates of a higher aggregation level. The apparatus then attempts to decode the downlink control channel based on determined sets of decoding candidates of different aggregation levels. The downlink control channel may comprise a PDCCH.
