    Abstract: Various features related to decoding jointly coded broadcast information and beam/symbol index information to achieve higher reliability and reduced decoding errors from the perspective of a receiving device such as a UE are described. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to receive a first beam and a second beam of a plurality of beams from a base station, the first beam including broadcast information and a first beam index information jointly encoded together, and the second beam including broadcast information and a second beam index information jointly encoded together, determine a first LLR of the first beam, determine a second LLR of the second beam, and decode the broadcast information and the first beam index information in the first beam based on both the first LLR and the second LLR.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a processor-readable storage medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, the apparatus is a subordinate entity that receives an indication of a resource allocated for an uplink transmission. The subordinate entity also receives a condition associated with the resource. The subordinate entity evaluates whether the condition is satisfied and determines whether to transmit a packet using the resource based on the condition being satisfied. In another aspect, the apparatus is a scheduling entity that generates an indication of a resource allocated for an uplink transmission. The resource is associated with a condition that limits access to the resource. The scheduling entity transmits the indication and the condition to a subordinate entity and receives a packet from the subordinate entity via the resource based on the condition being satisfied.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to techniques for use in systems where a plurality of devices with different priority levels share a common set of resources for communication (e.g., downlink transmissions). Certain aspects provide a new indication channel and a procedure to signal scheduling information (e.g., priority information). Such information may serve as an indicator for possible new grants. Such information may additionally serve as an indicator for higher-priority scheduling conflicts or include explicit commands that result from conflicts (e.g., conflicts relating to puncturing of resources allocated for transmissions to lower priority devices).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support channel selection for parity bits in polar coding techniques. In some cases, an encoder or decoder of a wireless device may assign information bits, frozen bits, and parity check bits to polar channels of an encoder or decoder based on reliability metrics. The information bits may initially be assigned and based on a channel index of the first information bit, the parity check bits may be assigned to channels having higher channel indices than the first information bit. After assignment, the bits may be encoded or decoded.

    Abstract: A wireless device (e.g., a base station or user equipment (UE)) may encode a codeword using a polar code for transmission over a wireless channel. The device may identify a set of bit locations of the polar code for a set of information bits based on a bit index reliability sequence. The bit index reliability sequence may be based on applying an ordered combination of a universal partial order, an analytical method, and a simulation. The bit index reliability sequence may be determined based on a binary bit weighting for the set of bit channels that applies one or more weighting factors. In some cases, the device may store the bit index reliability sequence in a lookup table for encoding, decoding, or both. A device receiving the transmitted codeword may similarly utilize the bit index reliability sequence to decode the codeword and determine the transmitted information bits.

    Abstract: Size ambiguity and false alarm rate reduction for polar codes. A user equipment (UE) may determine a decoding candidate bit sequence for a polar-encoded codeword having a codeword size based on a decoding hypothesis for control information having a particular bit length of multiple different bit lengths for the codeword size. The UE may calculate an error detection code (EDC) value for a payload portion of the decoding candidate bit sequence using an EDC algorithm, and may initialize an EDC variable state with at least one non-zero bit value. Scrambling or interleaving of bits may also be performed prior to, or after, polar encoding and may depend on the bit length. In examples, information bits may be bit-reversed prior to generating an EDC value. In examples, the encoded bits may include multiple EDC values to assist the UE in performing early termination and to reduce a false alarm rate.
