    Abstract: Techniques for signaling dynamic control region for PRACH transmission are described. In an aspect, the disclosure describes a method for receiving, at a user equipment (UE), an indication of a number of control symbols that the UE is to assume when transmitting physical random access channel (PRACH), and transmitting, by the UE, the PRACH over one or more slots based on the number of control symbols. In another aspect, the disclosure describes a method for generating, at a network device, an indication of a number of control symbols that a UE is to assume when transmitting PRACH, transmitting, by the network device, the indication to the UE. A UE and network device configuration as well as apparatuses and computer-readable medium related to these methods are also described.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving a physical random access channel (PRACH) design, for example, to support larger cell radius for communications in a wireless network. In aspects, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving at least one configuration of a plurality of available narrowband physical random access channel (NPRACH) configurations or an indication of one of the plurality of NPRACH configurations. Each of the plurality of NPRACH configurations includes a different combination of at least two of a multi-level frequency hopping patter, cyclic prefix length, symbol group format, or tone spacing for NPRACH signals. The method also includes determining at least one resource within a plurality of available NPRACH resources according to the received configuration(s) or the received indication, and transmitting a NPRACH signal using the determined at least one resource.

    Abstract: Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for wireless communication. The method includes determining at least one RS pattern for allocating a reference signal on an uplink channel and a downlink channel based on one or more transmission factors for transmitting the reference signal, wherein at least a portion of the at least one RS pattern is the same for the uplink channel and the downlink channel. The method further includes transmitting the reference signal using the determined RS pattern.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reducing the decoding complexity for low cost devices (e.g., low cost UEs). One technique may include simplifying the PDCCH format. This may include generating a compact DCI format for transmitting DCI to a low cost device. The compact DCI format may correspond to at least one standard DCI format used by a regular UE and may comprise a reduced number of bits when compared to the standard DCI format. Another technique may include reducing the number of blind decodes. This technique may include selecting a set of resources for transmitting DCI from a limited set of decoding candidates, such that a receiving low cost device need only perform blind decodes for the limited set of decoding candidates.
