    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support reducing a time domain selectivity of a downlink channel with multiple signal paths. A base station may spatially precode multiple channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) and transmit the spatially precoded CSI-RSs to a user equipment (UE), where at least one spatially precoded CSI-RS may correspond to each signal path. Based on the spatially precoded CSI-RSs, the UE may determine a mean or average Doppler shift for each signal path. The UE may transmit, to the base station, signaling indicative of the respective average Doppler shifts for each signal path. Based on the indication of the Doppler shifts, the base station may spatially and temporally precode one or more downlink transmissions to the UE, which may reduce the time domain selectivity of the downlink channel.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a channel state information (CSI) configuration indicating a first feedback reporting periodicity for a dominant, or strong, spatial layer and a second feedback reporting periodicity for a non-dominant, or weak, spatial layer. The UE may transmit a first CSI report for at least the dominant spatial layer according to the first feedback reporting periodicity. The UE may transmit a second CSI report for the non-dominant spatial layer according to the second feedback reporting periodicity. In some cases, for aperiodic reporting, the UE may be triggered by downlink control information to report CSI for the dominant spatial layer. In some cases, the CSI configuration may indicate different codebooks for the dominant and non-dominant spatial layers.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a device may select antenna elements from a planar array to transmit or receive an orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam. The device may determine a first area (e.g., a first ring area) based on an angular direction over which the device can communicate an OAM beam with a second device and may determine a second area (e.g., a second ring area) on the planar array based on projecting the first area on the planar array. The device may select a set of antenna elements from the planar array that are located within the second area. The device may determine a complex-valued weight for each antenna element of the selected set of antenna elements and may transmit or receive an OAM beam to or from the second device via the set of antenna elements according to the angular direction.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) located in a near field of a base station may receive a beamformed signal from the base station via a three-dimensional (3D) transmission beam. The UE may receive the signal at an antenna panel and detect a signal strength distribution of the signal at the antenna panel. The UE may calculate a signal weight for each portion of the antenna panel and determine beam adjustment information based on the signal weights. The UE may report the beam adjustment information to the base station, and the base station may use the beam adjustment information to adjust the beamwidth of the 3D transmission beam for subsequent transmissions to the UE, which may increase a beamforming gain at the antenna, and improve communication data rate.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the generation of channel state reports and precoding a wireless transmission based on frequency division duplex (FDD) reciprocity. A base station (B S) uses at least two precoders to transmit signals to A user equipment (UE). The UE generates a set of channel state reports, in which the UE transmits a first set of channel coefficients using a first timing, a set of port attributes using a second timing, and a second set of channel coefficients using a third timing. The first set of channel coefficients correspond to a first precoded portion of the wireless transmission, and the set of port attributes and the second set of channel coefficients correspond to a second portion of the wireless transmission. The BS modifies at least one of the precoders based on the channel state reports. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system. a user equipment (UE) may receive. from a base station, control signaling indicating a quasi co-location (QCL) configuration associated with multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) communications within a distance threshold from the base station.

The UE may select a beam to receive the downlink transmission within the distance threshold based on the QCL configuration. In some cases. the UE may receive multiple repetitions of the downlink transmission using corresponding antenna combining weight configurations, and the UE may determine a beam weight configuration for the beam to receive the downlink transmission based on receiving the multiple repetitions of the downlink transmission.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the generation of channel state reports. A base station transmits a reference signal over a plurality of ports. A user equipment (UE) receives the reference signal and measure amplitudes of the reference signal over a plurality of ports. A first subgroup of the plurality of ports and a second subgroup of the plurality of ports are determined. In embodiments, the port groupings may be determined by the base station, which transmits an identification of the groupings to the user equipment. Alternatively, the UE may determine the port groupings. After determining the port groupings, the UE separately quantizes and normalizes the measured amplitude values in each port grouping. The UE may also separately quantize and normalize the phase measurements in each port groups. The UE generates a channel state report based on the normalized and quantized amplitude and phase values.
