Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multiple different receive beams at a user equipment (UE) that may be spatially associated with a single transmission beam from a base station. A UE may measure, using multiple different receive beams, multiple instances of a same reference signal transmitted by the base station using a same transmission beam. The UE may provide measurement reports associated with each of the measurements to the base station. A particular receive beam to be used for a downlink transmission may be selected from the multiple receive beams and may be indicated to the UE.

Abstract: A multi-port queue group system an Network Processing Unit coupled to ingress port(s) and an egress port group having a first egress port and a second egress port. The NPU includes an egress queue group having a first egress queue associated with the first egress port and a second egress queue associated with the second egress port. The NPU receives data packets that are each directed to the egress port group via the ingress port(s), and buffers a first subset of the data packets in the first egress queue included in the egress queue group, and a second subset of the data packets in the second egress queue included in the egress queue group. The NPU then transmits at least one of the data packets via at least one of the first egress port and the second egress port included in the egress port group.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for increasing the reliability of low latency transmissions are described. For example, multiple control messages and/or multiple data messages may be transmitted for a single transport block. Explicit and/or implicit signaling may be used to support the repetition of control and data transmissions in a low latency environment. For example, explicit signaling may be used to indicate a correspondence between repeated control and/or data messages. Additionally or alternatively, particular configurations may be used to implicitly signal a correspondence between repeated control and/or data messages.
Abstract: A base station of a telecommunication network is provided. The base station includes a wired transceiver, a wireless transceiver, and a controller. The wired transceiver provides wired communication with a first Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) domain outside the telecommunication network. The wireless transceiver provides wireless Time-Sensitive Communication (TSC) with a User Equipment (UE). A controller is configured to receive first TSN clock information from the first TSN domain via the wired transceiver, and schedule a transmission of the first TSN clock information to the UE via the wireless transceiver.
Abstract: A design is provided for spatially multiplexing uplink channels. A user equipment (UE) detects that a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) are to be transmitted simultaneously. The UE decides to spatially multiplex the PUCCH and the SRS for simultaneous transmission via different sets of one or more antennas. The UE determines time and frequency resources for the PUCCH and the SRS to avoid collision of at least a portion of the PUCCH with the SRS. The UE transmits the spatially multiplexed PUCCH and SRS using the determined time and frequency resources.
