Abstract: Coordinated multi-point transmission of user data from a first cell serving a wireless terminal and a neighboring second cell site is performed. The first cell site maps control signals and user data to time-frequency resources according to a first mapping pattern. The second cell site maps control data and traffic data to time-frequency resources according to a second mapping pattern. A wireless terminal extracts user data according to the first mapping pattern and detects a control element transmitted by the first cell site. The control element indicates that user data associated with the control element is mapped to the time-frequency resources according to the second mapping pattern. In response, the wireless device extracts user data according to the second mapping pattern from time-frequency resources of a second transmission for the wireless terminal transmitted from the second cell site.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described related to timer-based sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX). A UE may receive configuration information for a sidelink DRX mode from a base station or another UE, which may indicate one or more parameters of the sidelink DRX mode. When operating in the sidelink DRX mode, a group of UEs may have shared active durations and inactive durations for coordinating sidelink communications. In a timer-based sidelink DRX mode, if a UE receives or transmits a sidelink communication, the UE may initiate an inactivity timer, and the UE may continue to monitor a sidelink channel for other sidelink communications while the timer is running. One or more rules may govern the operation of an inactivity timer with respect to the shared inactive durations.

Abstract: Uplink resources for semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reports and other uplink transport block transmissions may be managed. If resources allocated to the SP-CSI reports overlap, in time, with resources allocated to the uplink transport block transmissions, a determination of whether to drop an SP-CSI report may be made. Various selection criteria may be used to make this determination.

Abstract: An example playback device is configured to detect an input indicating a command to power up the playback device and, based on the input, begin initialization of a wireless network interface. After beginning initialization of the wireless network interface but before the playback device is capable of establishing a connection to at least one wireless network type via the wireless network interface, the playback device causes the wireless network interface to scan for available wireless networks of the at least one wireless network type.

After the playback device is capable of establishing a connection, the playback device uses the stored indication of the at least one available wireless network to establish a connection to a given wireless network of the at least one available wireless network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a control channel such as a PDCCH using one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may be associated with a number of different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states which may specify information that a UE may use to receive the PDCCH. In some cases, the UE may identify an association between resources of the CORESET and a number of TCI states assigned to a CORESET using various different multiplexing techniques, such as time division multiplexing (TDM). Some associations between the resources of the CORESET and the TCI states may include a mapping of the resources of the CORESET to the different TCI states. The UE may decode the PDCCH based on the different TDM techniques used to configure the CORESET.
