Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to utilizing an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), a tracking algorithm, or both, to receive, calibrate, and maintain orbital angular momentum (OAM) signaling between wireless devices. The present disclosure describes a first wireless device transmitting spatial-multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) beams to the IRS such that reflected waves from the IRS form a spatial mixture of OAM modes. The IRS may reflect such OAM modes to a second wireless device for subsequent reflection (e.g., a second IRS), reception, calibration, and optimization. For example, the second wireless device may perform pattern recognition of the concentric OAM modes (e.g., by estimating ellipse geometry) to determine the modes of the OAM signaling. The second wireless device may also perform decorrelation, where small perturbations to the elliptical OAM geometry allow the second wireless device to perform one or more optimization techniques related to the OAM signaling.

Abstract: A node may identify a node configuration including one or more surface phase configurations associated with the node. In one configuration, the node may receive, from the base station, an indication of the node configuration. In another configuration, the node may select, at a controller associated with the node, the node configuration. The one or more surface phase configurations may be based on a wavelength corresponding to a center of a BWP associated with the one or more wireless signals or a wavelength corresponding to a center of a resource allocation associated with the one or more wireless signals. The node may forward, from a base station to a UE, or from the UE to the base station, one or more wireless signals. The forwarded one or more wireless signals may be associated with a beam squint less than a first threshold.

Abstract: A base station may select a plurality of node parameters of a node including at least one of: a number of UEs that have accessed a network while the node is operational, an amount of information that has been communicated through the network while the node is operational, one or more QoS measurements while the node is operational, or one or more resources utilized for operation of the node. The base station may configure, upon selecting the plurality of node parameters, an access threshold for the node based on the plurality of node parameters. The base station may transmit, to the node, an indication of the access threshold for the node based on the plurality of node parameters. The node may configure, upon receiving the indication of the access threshold, access to the node for each of the number of UEs based on the access threshold.

Abstract: Positioning methods suitable for use in a wireless network that utilizes beamformed communication are disclosed. In an aspect, a range and/or granularity for reporting a reference signal timing difference (RSTD) may be configurable according to one or more beam parameters (e.g., a repetition factor, a beam shape, a frequency band, a subcarrier spacing numerology, a cyclic prefix, etc.). In another aspect, a transmitting node may transmit one or more parameters associated with a beam used to transmit a positioning reference signal (e.g., an angle of departure, a zenith of departure, a beamwidth, etc.). According to another aspect, a cyclic prefix length for a positioning reference signal that a transmitting node transmits via one or more beams may be configured to increase a number of neighbor cells visible to a receiving node.

Abstract: A node may forward, from a base station to a first UE, or from the first UE to the base station, one or more wireless signals. The node may identify an indication to stop signal forwarding to the first UE. The indication may be based on a level of an interference to a second UE associated with the signal forwarding to the first UE being greater than a first threshold. The level of the interference to the second UE may be based on a path gain difference or a signal strength at the first UE associated with the signal forwarding to the first UE. The signal strength at the first UE associated with the signal forwarding to the first UE may correspond to an RSRP at the first UE. The node may stop the signal forwarding to the first UE based on the indication.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A repeater may apply a frequency translation and a phase rotation adjustment to a transmitted signal to avoid radio frequency interference. For instance, wireless repeater may receive a signal from a first device on a first carrier frequency. The wireless repeater may identify one or more interfering signals affecting the reception or transmission of the signal. The wireless repeater may then perform a frequency translation from the first carrier frequency to the second carrier frequency, and may also apply a phase rotation adjustment corresponding to the frequency translation. The wireless repeater may retransmit the signal including the phase rotation adjustment over the second carrier frequency to a second device in the wireless network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support beam correlation across frequency bands for beam selection in the event of a frequency switch. For example, a base station may determine a configuration indicating a mapping between a set of beam identifiers (IDs) and a set of angle coverage ranges for a set of frequency ranges which corresponds to a user equipment's (UE) operating frequencies. In some examples, the UE may undergo a frequency switch and switch from a first operating frequency to a second operating frequency. The UE may select a beam ID based on the mapping and communicate with the base station via the second operating frequency using a beam associated with the selected beam ID.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive a random access channel (RACH) message. The base station may determine, based at least in part on the RACH message, whether the RACH message was transmitted directly to the base station by a user equipment (UE) or whether the RACH message was relayed from the UE to the base station via a millimeter wave repeater. The base station may perform a beam management procedure based at least in part on the determination. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device (e.g., a user equipment and/or base station) may operate in a first mode in a wireless network over a radio frequency spectrum band. The wireless device may receive a signal indicating that a value of the radio frequency spectrum band has satisfied a threshold value. The wireless device may switch, based at least in part on the signal indicating that the value has satisfied the threshold value, from the first mode to a second mode for wireless communications in the wireless network, wherein a first length of a first synchronization signal block associated with the first mode is shorter than a second length of a second synchronization signal block associated with the second mode.
