Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating a bandwidth part (BWP), of a cell, associated with a maximum number of transmission layers and a plurality of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports. The wireless device receives a downlink control information comprising an antenna port indication value. A subset of DMRS ports, from the plurality of DMRS ports, is determined based on the maximum number of transmission layers associated with the BWP.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform both a channel estimation and a non-linearity estimation (e.g., a power amplifier (PA) model estimation) on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmitted by a base station. For example, the DMRS may include two portions that correspond to two peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) values. Low PAPR values may enable the UE to perform the channel estimation, and high PAPR values may enable the UE to perform the PA non-linearity estimation. Accordingly, a first portion of the DMRS may correspond to a lower PAPR value, and the second portion of the DMRS may correspond to a higher PAPR value. In some examples, the base station may signal different parameters for each portion of the DMRS to the UE, or the UE may use fixed values to receive each portion of the DMRS.

Abstract: In a (e.g., 5G CBRS) radio system, a processor (e.g., a SAS) receives, from (e.g., CBSD) base stations, beam-level information about beams used by the base stations to communicate with UEs, uses the information to assess interference associated with the beams, and instructs the base stations to modify one or more specified beams in order to reduce the interference. In addition to powering down one or more specified beams, a base station may create new beams to attempt to satisfy UE bandwidth needs without creating unacceptable levels of interference.

In response to the triggering of the first SR, the first SR is transmitted via a first SR resource corresponding to the first logical channel.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam refinement procedures including dynamic signaling and/or selection of beam-switching latency for beam refinement procedures using inter- and/or intra-antenna module beam switching. A method by a base station (BS) includes configuring a user equipment (UE) with one or more reference signal (RS) resource sets. Each of the one or more RS resource sets is associated with a first or second type of beam refinement procedure. The BS receives an indication from the UE of at least a first latency and a second latency, longer than the first latency. The BS dynamically selects, for each RS transmission using one of the configured resource sets, the first or second latency. The BS sends the RS transmissions at the selected latency with respect to downlink control information (DCI) triggering the RS transmissions for the first or second type of beam refinement procedure.
