    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to dynamically controlling a time when random access initiated in a target cell of a non-terrestrial network. For example, when a user equipment (UE) detects an event that triggers a random access procedure in the target cell, the UE may monitor a control channel from the target cell for a control signal during a target cell monitoring window prior to initiating random access in the target cell. For example, the control signal may include a dynamic indication to identify UEs allowed to initiate random access, whereby a UE is not permitted to autonomously start contention-based random access in the target cell during the target cell monitoring window unless the UE has received the control signal. In this way, the target cell may regulate a rate at which UEs initiate the RACH procedure in order to manage congestion in the target cell.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE) associated with a non-terrestrial wireless network may identify a first synchronization procedure that is specific to the non-terrestrial network and different from synchronization procedures specific to terrestrial networks. In some cases, the UE may identify a different channel raster or may receive an indication of a true frequency of operation of a narrowband cell in the non-terrestrial network. The UE may identify the narrowband cell associated with the non-terrestrial network and may synchronize with the network using the identified synchronization procedure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station of a non-terrestrial network, a random access request message associated with a random access procedure using a transport block size (TBS) and a power control specified for the random access request message (e.g., a payload of the random access request message) for the random access procedure. The random access request message including a random access preamble and a random access payload carrying a buffer status report (BSR) or uplink data, or both. The UE may then monitor a response window based at least in part on transmitting the random access request message. The UE may receive, from the base station of the non-terrestrial network, a response message of the random access procedure during the response window.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless device are described. A wireless device may receive a configuration for a data radio bearer associated with voice traffic in a wireless communications network. In some examples, the configuration may indicate one or more parameters associated with the voice traffic. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may receive a configuration for a data radio bearer and a configured grant associated with voice traffic. The wireless device may identify a mapping between a configured grant identifier and the data radio bearer based on the configuration In some examples, the wireless device may generate a transport block including the voice traffic based on the one or more parameters associated with the voice traffic or the mapping between the configured grant identifier and the data radio bearer. The wireless device may then transmit the generated transport block including the voice traffic.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for transmitting a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including one or more MAC service data units (SDUs) of a logical channel; and transmitting a first type of MAC subheader including or excluding first logical channel identifier (LCID) information and including or excluding first length information, wherein a first size of the first LCID information is equal to or smaller than a second size of second LCID information of a second type of MAC subheader that is different than the first type of MAC subheader, and a third size of the first length information is equal to or smaller than a fourth size of second length information of the second type of MAC subheader.
