    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform a random access procedure to synchronize with a network for uplink and/or downlink communication. The UE may transmit a first type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble or a second type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble and a random access message. The second type may result in reduced delay but may have lesser SNR tolerance than the first type. In some aspects, the UE may determine whether to transmit the first type or the second type, and may transmit the first type or the second type in a random access channel portion of a slot. The random access channel portion of the slot may be occupied by portions of either the first type of random access transmission or the second type of random access transmission, thereby enabling flexible utilization of multiple types of random access procedure.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the transmission of a cell identifier of a serving cell to a user equipment (UE). A Physical Cell Identification Channel (PCICH) is defined for carrying the cell identifier of the serving cell within an uplink-based mobility framework. In some examples, the PCICH may be transmitted in response to a trigger event that requires the user equipment to have knowledge of the cell identifier. For example, the UE may require the cell identifier to demodulate signals received from the serving cell and facilitate transmission and/or reception of user data traffic with the serving cell.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use a lower code rate by splitting a data stream into multiple data sub-streams. The UE may split the data stream to synchronously encode, modulate, and spread the data sub-streams at different layers. Then, the UE may superpose or combine the sub-streams together. The UE may scramble the combined data stream with a UE-specific scrambling code. In some examples, the UE may then apply a cyclic prefix to the combined data stream. The UE may then transmit the combined data stream to a base station. The receiving base station may use layer-wise matched filters and element-wise signal estimators (ESE) to obtain soft information such as log-likelihood ratios. Channel decoders may then determine estimated bits for each layer of each user of the combined data stream.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein create unified synchronization to support various network deployments in which multiple UE states (e.g., idle, connected, etc) and multiple synchronization signal periodicities (5 ms, 20 ms, etc.) and standalone/non-standalone networks may exist. Unified synchronization may be achieved at least by designating transmit frames as being even or odd. With such a designation, when a network transmits synchronization signals (SS) comprising the most significant bits (MSB)s of a frame's system frame number (SFN), a UE of any state may receive the SS according to any periodicity and blind decode the SFN's least significant bits (LSBs) with less complexity as compared to traditional systems and methods due at least to the even or odd frame designations.

    Abstract: Aspects related to pre-configuring for a serving cell change to neighbor cells are described. In one example, a user equipment (UE) may camp on a first cell. The UE may receive at least one communication including target cell pre-configuration information for one or more neighbor cells eligible for pre-configuration. The UE may determine that the first cell is no longer providing adequate service and identify a target cell, which may be one of the one or more neighbor cells, but is not part of an active set for the UE. The UE may transmit a message (e.g., Event 1d) requesting a serving cell change to the target cell. The UE may configure to receive service from the target cell based on the pre-configuration information associated with the target cell. The UE may receive an indication to perform the serving cell change and perform the serving cell change.
