Abstract: A device including one or more processors configured to, based on at least one of an external criterion or a signal-based criterion, output a first gain adjusted signal from a first gain adjuster or a second gain adjusted signal from a second gain adjuster as an input to an audio processing operation. The first gain adjusted signal corresponds to a first gain applied to an audio signal from a microphone and the second gain adjusted signal corresponding to a second gain applied to an audio signal from a microphone. The signal-based criterion is based on whether a first signal metric associated with the first gain adjusted signal or a second signal metric associated with the second gain adjusted signal is closer to a target metric.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a transmission power is prioritized between an access channel and a second channel.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may allocate uplink resources to configure coexisting interleaved and contiguous uplink transmissions. Operation using different waveform types may address bandwidth occupancy requirements, power spectral density (PSD) limitations, etc. A carrier bandwidth may be split into regions allocated for interlaced resource allocations and contiguous resource allocations for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) based coexistence. To achieve coexistence of such waveform types, a base station may indicate a waveform type, a transmission carrier bandwidth or channel, and a resource block allocation (e.g., an interlace pattern, certain ranges within the carrier bandwidth, etc.) for uplink transmissions. In some cases, channel contention procedures (e.g., Listen Before Talk (LBT)) and power constraints (e.g., power spectral density (PSD) limitations) may be based on the waveform type associated with the uplink transmission.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. A traffic window may be scheduled for a user equipment (UE) base on semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). In various situations, all or a portion of a first communication to be transmitted or received can be transmitted or received during an SPS grant in the traffic window.

The status of the second node may indicate, for example, whether the second node will be communicating with the first node. Thus, if it is determined based on the status of the second node that the second node may not be communicating with the first node, transmissions by the first node may be temporarily disabled until there is a change in status, and vice versa.

Abstract: A master node associated with a primary or master network may facilitate user equipment (UE) random access channel (RACH) procedures to secondary networks for dual connectivity. A master node may identify a connected UE is to perform a RACH procedure for connection with a secondary network (e.g., to the same network as the primary network via a secondary node).

The master node may transmit an indication of the repetition, which may include a number of repetitions and/or a transmit beam to be used for the reference signals of the RACH procedure. The UE may perform a receive beam sweep procedure while the secondary node transmits the reference signal repetitions on the transmit beam to identify a preferred receive beam.

In aspects of the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may report metrics (e.g., received signal power, beam identifier) about synchronization signal (SS) beams using the same (e.g., or a similar) framework that is used for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting. Because SSs are intended to be broadcast across a wide coverage area in a beamformed manner, the SSs represent a promising complement to existing beam management techniques. Accordingly, beam management may be achieved at least in part based on reporting one or more metrics of beamformed SSs through a channel feedback framework.
