    Abstract: A user equipment includes a processor configured to: receive a first, second, and third reference signals including a first, second, and third sets of tones, and spanning first, second, and third frequency ranges in first and second sets of symbols and at least one third symbol, respectively, the first and second frequency ranges differing; where at least one of (1) the third frequency range overlaps the first frequency range, or (2) the at least one third symbol overlaps with the first set of symbols and the third frequency range overlaps the second frequency range; determine an offset between the first reference signal and the supplemental signal using the third set of tones; and determine a first indication, of a time and/or a range, based on a combination of the first reference signal and the second reference signal using the offset.

    Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication transmits a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for at least eight orthogonal DMRS ports in a single symbol of at least one slot. The apparatus also transmits data in the at least one slot. The apparatus may correspond to a base station transmitting DMRS and downlink data. The apparatus may correspond to a user equipment (UE) transmitting DMRS and uplink data. The apparatus may bundle the DMRS across multiple slots with a bundled DMRS including a first set of the DMRS ports in a first single symbol of a first slot and a second set of the DMRS ports in a second single symbol of a second slot. The apparatus may transmit the DMRS in only a single slot in a physical resource block group (PRG) including two or more resource blocks using four frequency domain orthogonal cover codes (FD-OCC) and a frequency offset pattern.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for beam group reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, multiple PRS resources, e.g., a beam group, received by a user equipment (UE) from the same network entity may be used to produce a combined Time of Arrival (TOA) measurement for the reference or target to derive an Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) estimate. The UE provides to a network entity an indication of the PRS resources in the beam group, which may be specifically or generally identified. Additionally, parameters associated with the beam group are provided, such as a relative quality of the TOA measurement for each PRS resource in the subset, a spread of the TOA measurements in the subset, a relative signal strength of each PRS resource in the subset, or a spread of the signal strength in the subset.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for the establishment of a communication link between a base station and a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a spatial partial reciprocity capability. The UE may be configured to determine antenna cross-correlation information for at least a first subset of antenna elements in the UE. The cross-correlation information may include one or more correlation parameters (e.g., correlation coefficients), a correlation model, or both. The UE may transmit sounding reference signals for a second set of antenna elements in accordance with the spatial partial reciprocity capability. The UE may also transmit an indication of the cross-correlation information for at least the first subset of antenna elements of the UE. The base station may use such information to derive correlation parameters for the unsounded antennas and determine precoders for downlink communications.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that a phase-tracking reference signal (PTRS) will not be transmitted based at least in part on a mapping value associated with transmitting the PTRS, and may identify another mapping value associated with transmitting the PTRS, wherein the other mapping value is different from the mapping value. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may identify a symbol in which a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is to be muted, and may map, based at least in part on a mapping value configured on the wireless communication device, a PTRS relative to the symbol in which the DMRS is to be muted. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: The techniques described herein provide procedures at user equipment (UEs) for performing channel state information (CSI) reporting and sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions based on an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) block error rate (BLER) target and for reliably receiving PDCCH transmissions. For CSI reporting, a UE may be configured to generate a CSI report based on a BLER target and on received CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs), where the CSI-RSs may be transmitted on one or more groups of quasi co-located antenna ports. For SRS transmissions, a UE may be configured to transmit SRS based on an SRS configuration determined based on a BLER target. For receiving PDCCH transmissions, a UE may be configured to receive and combine DCI received from multiple base stations.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink reference signal may be associated with a positioning procedure. In some cases, the positioning procedure may include transmission, by the UE, of the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which may be farther away from the UE than a serving cell. The UE may determine an absence of a parameter associated with a transmit power for transmitting the reference signal. Based on the absence, the UE may determine the transmit power based on parameters received from a serving cell, based on configuration information, based on a message intercepted from the non-serving cell, or based on other considerations or information. In some cases, the UE may determine the transmit power such that the likelihood of the non-serving cell receiving the reference signal is increased.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for generating a positioning beacon sequence suitable for use in a wireless network that utilizes beamformed communication. More particularly, the positioning beacon sequence may be generated based on a first sequence that depends on a link identifier and does not depend on a beam index assigned to a beam used to transmit the positioning beacon in combination with a second sequence that depends on the beam index and does not depend on the link identifier. For example, the first sequence and the second sequence may be XORed to obtain the final beacon sequence, or the first sequence and the second sequence may be modulated and multiplied to obtain the final beacon sequence. Furthermore, in practice, the beacon sequence may be generated using a pseudo-random sequence generator initialized with a seed in which the link identifier and the beam index are treated as separate subcomponents.
