Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may employ one or more scheduling constraints to support efficient utilization of techniques for intra-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., intra-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing) as well as inter-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., inter-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing). Scheduling constraints may define how a device may apply intra-device and inter-device multiplexing and cancelation rules for various scenarios. For example, a device may apply intra-UE cancelation rules before inter-device cancelation rules. In some examples, later-received grants or uplink preemption indications (ULPIs) may not change a device's previously established decision to drop an uplink transmission.

Abstract: A UE for performing mobility management is disclosed. The UE includes at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, and at least one processor coupled to the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: transmit, to a first network node, a RRC message indicating a required network slice/service of the UE, the required network slice/service uniquely identified by S-NSSAI; receive, from the first network node, a second RRC message including information of a second network node that supports the required network slice/service of the UE when the required network slice/service identified by the S-NSSAI is not supported by the first network node; and perform a mobility management procedure based on the information of the second network node received from the first network node when the required network slice/service is not supported by the first network node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a first transmission scheduling resources for a second transmission having a first priority. The UE may determine that one or more symbols of the second transmission are to be unused due to receipt of a cancellation indication or due to identifying a conflict, for example, with higher priority resources. Based on determining that the symbols are to be unused, the UE may determine that the base station will not reschedule the unused resources for another transmission, for example, having the first priority. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the determination.

Abstract: A transmission method simultaneously transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal at a common frequency performs precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals, thereby improving received data signal quality for a reception device.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for pre-compensation of downlink communication based on a transmission of a request for the pre-compensation from a user equipment (UE). For example, the UE may determine an impairment at the UE that has a greater severity (a greater impact on downlink communication) or is associated with a greater amount of resources for processing relative to a remainder of a set of impairments that is experienced at the UE and the UE may transmit a request for pre-compensation of the impairment by a base station. The base station may transmit feedback to the UE indicating a confirmation of pre-compensation for the impairment by the base station or to deferment of compensation for the impairment back to the UE. If the base station acknowledges pre-compensation for the impairment, the base station may pre-compensate a downlink transmission to the UE for the impairment.

Abstract: A radio node may calculate one or more performance metrics based on measured satellite signals, which are associated with a global positioning system, or wireless signals that are associated with a cellular-telephone network. Then, the radio node may determine, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether the radio node is a synchronization master in a cluster of radio nodes. When the radio node is the synchronization master, the radio node may provide information intended for a computer specifying that the radio node is the synchronization master and the one or more performance metrics. In response, the radio node may receive a synchronization request associated with another radio node in the cluster. Furthermore, the radio node may provide the synchronization information intended for the other radio node, where the synchronization information specifies time, frequency, and phase synchronization for at least the cluster.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently allocating resources for multicast feedback from one or more user equipment (UEs) and efficiently retransmitting information in transport blocks to the one or more UEs. If a UE fails to decode one or more transport blocks of a set of transport blocks from a base station, the UE may report feedback, such as a negative acknowledgment (NACK), to the base station. The base station may receive the feedback from the UE and potentially from other UEs that failed to decode one or more transport blocks of the set of transport blocks, and the base station may multicast one or more outer-coded transport blocks to the UEs. Each of the outer-coded transport blocks may include a different combination (for example, a linear combination) of transport blocks of the set of transport blocks.

Abstract: A process for managing network congestion uses crowd-sourced real-time information about current conditions in a network. The crowd-sourced real-time information may include information on a shared channel, such as a cell of a wireless network, produced by monitoring data sessions in the network and using mapping information that maps IP addresses of the data sessions to cell identifiers to associate measurements of the data sessions with corresponding cells. The measurements corresponding to a cell may be used to create and/or update a congestion profile for the cell, and the congestion profile may be used to select and set parameters of a congestion control algorithm. The congestion control algorithm may include an Initial Congestion Window Algorithm for controlling a congestion window.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for using relative uplink transmission delay indexing are provided. For example, a user equipment (UE) and a network node may determine valid uplink transmission occasions for control information and the network node may communicate an indication of a position of a valid uplink transmission occasion to the UE relative to other valid uplink transmission occasions for the control information.

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide phase and amplitude calibration of phased array antennas. In an N-by-M phased array having N*M channels, embodiments use aggregated measurements over multiple concurrently active channels to improve signal-to-leakage performance, while also using sequences of exclusion groups to yield an individualized calibration value for each channel (i.e., N*M individualized calibration values). For example, a J×K channel group of the array is selected in each of a sequence of measurement frames based on a calibration schema. Over J*K measurement sub-frames, a set of J*K aggregate measurements is obtained, each with different subsets of the channel group activated and excluded from the measurement. The aggregate calibration measurements can be used to compute J*K individualized calibration values, each for a channel of the channel group. In some implementations, each calibration value is computed as a complex value including both amplitude and phase calibrations information.
