Abstract: A control plane (CP) device switching method includes that when a user plane (UP) device in a forwarding-control separation system detects that performance of communication between the UP device and an active CP device does not meet a normal communication condition, and performance of communication between the UP device and a standby CP device meets the normal communication condition, the UP device sends a switching request to the standby CP device. When detecting that a quantity of UP devices that each send the switching request is greater than or equal to a first quantity threshold, the standby CP device may indicate each UP device in the forwarding-control separation system to switch to the standby CP device.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a cell that comprise: first parameters indicating: configuration of SRSs of the cell; whether a first accumulated power control adjustment for the SRSs is enabled; and second parameters. The second parameters indicate: configuration of an uplink data channel of the cell; and whether a second accumulated power control adjustment for the uplink data channel is enabled. A first transmission power is determined for the SRSs based on the first accumulated power control adjustment and a first power control command. The SRSs are transmitted, via the cell, with the first transmission power. A second transmission power is determined for the uplink data channel of the cell based on the second accumulated power control adjustment and a second power control command. One or more transport blocks are transmitted, via the uplink data channel of the cell, with the second transmission power.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently transmitting uplink signals to a base station using shared antennas. A first device may be in communications with a base station using local antennas and may identify a second device having auxiliary antennas available for transmitting uplink signals to the base station. Because the local antennas and auxiliary antennas may have different capabilities (e.g., due to different power or other constraints), the first device may generate first uplink signals for transmission using the local antennas differently from second uplink signals for transmission using the auxiliary antennas. The first device may transmit the first uplink signals to the base station using the local antennas and transmit the second uplink signals to the second device for transmission to the base station using the auxiliary antennas based on different configurations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a first component carrier, control information that triggers transmission of an aperiodic reference signal in a second component carrier. The UE may identify a quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for reception of the aperiodic reference signal in the second component carrier based at least in part on a control resource set not being configured for the second component carrier. The UE may then monitor for the aperiodic reference signal of the second component carrier based on the QCL assumption. In some cases, the UE may transmit a measurement report to a base station based on a measurement of the reference signal.
