    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure are described that may enable a user equipment (UE) and a base station to perform a two-step RACH procedure and begin communications using an accurate timing advance (TA). The UE may send a first RACH message of the two-step RACH procedure to the base station. The base station may determine an accurate TA based on the contents of the first RACH message. The base station may prepare a downlink control message and a corresponding second RACH message to send to the UE. The base station may include scheduling information for the second message and an indication of the TA in the downlink control message. The base station may identify one or more data fields in bits within the downlink control message reserved for information other than the TA and replace the bits with the TA indication.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A size of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) codebook may be determined and indicated when the HARQ-ACK codebook is transmitted. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a number of information bits within a HARQ-ACK codebook, and may further indicate a size of the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the number of information bits. The UE may transmit the indication of the size of the HARQ-ACK codebook on the same or different time/frequency resources as the HARQ-ACK codebook, using a particular field, using a different uplink channels, or the like. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may indicate the size of the HARQ-ACK codebook using a particular pattern or sequence of reference signals associated with the channel used to carry the HARQ-ACK codebook.

    Abstract: A base station may determine a Doppler metric associated with a wireless channel and a user equipment (UE). The Doppler metric may be determined from received information related to Doppler effects measured by the UE or from directly measured Doppler effects associated with uplink data received from the UE. Based on the determined Doppler metric, the base station may select one or both of a reference signal (RS) density and a channel estimation technique for the wireless channel and associated UE. The base station may transmit an indication of the RS density to the UE. Downlink data bursts and uplink data bursts may include RSs and data according to the indicated RS density. Further, the base station may transmit to the UE, an indication to communicate using the selected wireless channel estimation technique.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for mapping modulated symbols to physical resources. The mapping described herein may result in both time and frequency diversity. For example, a method for wireless communications may include alternately mapping quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) symbols of a code block to frequency resources within a scheduling unit of time, wherein the mapping comprises a frequency-first mapping where symbols of the code block are alternately mapped to a first subset of the frequency resources in a first set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols, then to a second subset of the frequency resources in a second set of OFDM symbols, and transmitting the code block based on the mapping.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A wireless communication device may switch between a distributed and a clustered transmission scheme for control information transmissions. In some cases, the base station may indicate to a UE that a clustered control information transmission scheme will be used and may also indicate a monitoring pattern informing the UE how to identify its own control information in a control information set. For instance, a base station may indicate to the UE that a preferred beam of the UE is correlated with a symbol position of the UE's control information in the control information set. In some cases, the base station may indicate to a UE that a distributed control information transmission scheme will be used.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control message (e.g., via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)) from a first transmission reception point (TRP) including a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifying multiple quasi co-location (QCL) relationships for the UE. The UE may determine a first set of control parameters for communication with the first TRP and a second set of control parameters for communication with a second TRP based on the downlink control message. In some cases, the second set of control parameters may be different than first set of control parameters. The UE may communicate with the first TRP and the second TRP (e.g., the UE may receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from each TRP) based on the first set of control parameters and the second set of parameters.

    Abstract: In a radio air interface, a mixed-numerology carrier is one that multiplexes orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) waveforms that have different numerologies onto the same carrier. This disclosure provides for a sync signal (SS) enabling channel access for such a mixed-numerology carrier. In one example, a single SS, having a given numerology, supports channel access for a plurality of numerologies on the mixed-numerology carrier. In another example, a plurality of numerologies on the mixed-numerology carrier each has its own respective SS, and a single, common numerology is used for all SS's. In still another example, a plurality of numerologies on the mixed-numerology carrier each has its own respective SS, where each SS has the same numerology as the numerology for which the SS provides channel access.
