Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine an emissions mask (e.g., an in-band emission (IBE) mask) for a user equipment (UE) which may be determined based on the total number of UEs scheduled by the base station for uplink transmissions during a same transmission time interval (TTI). The base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to the UE indicating the emissions mask. The base station may additionally transmit a grant to the UE allocating resources for the UE based on the UE's position relative to other UEs served by the base station. The UE may receive the DCI and may map the emissions mask to a maximum power reduction (MPR). Based on the MPR, the UE may determine a transmit power and may transmit an uplink transmission to the base station according to the transmission power and the DCI.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing unwanted transmissions by a wireless communications device, such as spurious transient transmissions caused by changing a power level of a transmitter. An exemplary method includes determining, based on one or more parameters, an action to reduce an impact of a spurious transmission by the UE, wherein the spurious transmission relates to at least one of changing a transmit power level at the UE or switching one or more radio components at the UE, and taking the determined action to reduce the impact.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform a calibration to improve the accuracy, reliability, or both of signal transmissions. The UE may determine timing for the calibration procedure based on a received identifier for the UE (e.g., a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), such as a cell RNTI (C-RNTI)). For example, the UE may determine a calibration offset between a reference time and a calibration gap according to an equation using at least the identifier as input. During the calibration gap, the UE may transmit a calibration signal using one or more antenna ports and may calibrate (e.g., adjust power amplification for) the one or more antenna ports based on an estimated actual transmit power for the calibration signal (e.g., received by other antenna ports of the UE or received by another device).

Abstract: Low complexity, high order multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) operations are described in which a user equipment (UE), configured with at least one normal performance receiver chain and at least one low-performance, low-complexity diversity receiver chain, signals a capabilities indicator identifying existence of the low-performance diversity receivers. Using the UEs capabilities, a serving base station may schedule uplink and downlink transmissions for the UE to reduce uplink-downlink collisions below a minimum threshold number. The serving base station may also take UE transmit power into consideration for signaling power control or modulation and coding schemes in order to minimize potential interference cause by UE transmissions. For channel state feedback, the UE may provide different channel feedback for uplink-downlink collision subframes and non-collision subframes.
