    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: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and techniques for full-duplex communication. A first system is characterized by techniques for communicating in full-duplex utilizing the Butler matrix beamformer for generating a spatial beam to be used for both uplink and downlink signaling, wherein the signaling utilizes the same time and frequency resources. A second system is characterized by techniques for communicating in full-duplex utilizing the Butler matrix beamformer to generate two spatial beams, one to be used for downlink and one to be used for uplink signaling, wherein the signaling utilizes the same time and frequency resources. Accordingly, the systems and techniques described herein are directed to low complexity, multi-user full-duplex communications.

    Abstract: The base station that is configured to transmit in a beamformed manner may set different transmission rates for different directions of the beams. During an initial access stage, the base station may determine how densely user equipments are located in various regions surrounding the base station, and may assign more beams for transmission of an initial access signal in an area with more UEs. The apparatus may be a base station. The base station divides a region surrounding the base station into a plurality of sub-regions, where one region of the plurality of sub-regions covers a greater area than at least one other region of the plurality of sub-regions. The base station assigns each beam of a plurality of beams of the base station to a respective sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions. The base station transmits at least one initial access signal in each direction of the plurality of beams using a respective beam of the plurality of beams, each direction of the plurality of beams corresponding to a respective sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive, via a first interface of a repeater, information associated with a second interface of the repeater. The base station may determine a configuration for the second interface of the repeater based at least in part on the information associated with the second interface, and may communicate the configuration for the second interface of the repeater via the first interface. In some aspects, a repeater may transmit, to a base station via a first interface, information associated with a second interface of the repeater. The repeater may receive, via the first interface, a configuration for the second interface, and may configure the second interface based at least in part on the configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) may select a weight vector, from a plurality of stored weight vectors, for enabling a spatially multiplexed communication, between a transmitter and a receiver, that includes two or more layers for each polarization of a plurality of polarizations for the spatially multiplexed communication. The RIS may receive the spatially multiplexed communication from the transmitter. The RIS may transmit the spatially multiplexed communication to the receiver in accordance with the weight vector. Numerous other aspects are described.
