Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a digital simulation to determine a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a digital reception beam. A base station may send, to the UE, a reference signal. The UE may perform a coarse beam search on the reference signal using non-oversampled digital reception beams. The UE may measure the signal strength of the reference signal for each of the non-oversampled digital reception beams and select the non-oversampled digital reception beam with the strongest signal. The UE may perform a refined beam search procedure on the selected beam by using a set of oversampled digital reception beams which correspond to the selected non-oversampled digital reception beam. The UE may determine the PMI associated with the strongest oversampled digital reception beam and send the PMI in a report to the base station.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for managing power consumption of a mobile device are disclosed. The systems, method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium may cause the base station to identify an energy metric associated with a mobile device, and to configure the transmission between the base station and the mobile device based at least in part on the energy metric. The configuration of the transmission may reduce the power consumption of the mobile device for processing the transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use a measurement procedure for beam detection within an existing cell. The UE perform a search procedure for a first synchronization signal block (SSB) to detect a first beam of a base station. The UE may determine a first timing offset for the first SSB based on the search procedure. The UE may estimate a second timing offset for a second SSB from the base station based on the first timing offset. The UE may perform a measurement procedure for the second SSB to detect a second beam of the base station based on the second timing offset. The UE may prune fake beams based on synchronization signals used for the measurement procedure.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may configure a UE to transmit a cross link interference reference signal (CLI-RS) using a bandwidth and frequency similar to those used for a synchronization signal. In another aspect, a BS may may configure a UE to measure a cross link interference reference signal (CLI-RS) transmitted using a bandwidth and frequency similar to those used for a synchronization signal. In other aspects, a base station may transmit, to a UE, an instruction to transmit or measure a CLI-RS. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may utilize synchronization signal block (SSB) and channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based beam management to select beams for communicating with a base station. For example, a UE may receive, from a base station, control signaling that configures the UE to monitor a set of SSBs and a set of reference signals. The UE may select a subset of the set of SSBs based on measuring a first signal metric for each SSB of the set of SSBs. In some examples, the UE may select a reference signal subset of the set of reference signals that correspond to the subset of the set SSBs, and may communicate a data transmission with the base station using a first beam selected based on measuring a second signal metric for each reference signal in the reference signal subset.

Abstract: A signaling channel that punctures traffic channels is used to send signaling, e.g., acknowledgments (ACKs). To send signaling, resources for the signaling channel are determined, e.g., based on a frequency hopping pattern. Signaling is spread with a spreading code (e.g., a Walsh code) to generate spread signaling, which is mapped to the resources for the signaling channel. Each resource may be partitioned into multiple clusters. A signaling message may be mapped to different clusters to achieve diversity. Traffic data may also be mapped to other resources for a traffic channel assigned for use. Traffic data mapped to the other resources for the signaling channel is punctured. The mapped signaling and traffic data are further processed (e.g., for OFDM or SC-FDMA) and transmitted.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. In one method, a method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a synchronization signal. The synchronization signal may be common to a plurality of cells within a network. The method further includes acquiring a timing of the network based on the synchronization signal, and transmitting a pilot signal in response to acquiring the timing of the network. The pilot signal may identify the UE and be concurrently receivable by the plurality of cells within the network. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.
