Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for using downlink control information (DCI) to avoid hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID) conflicts in scenarios where multiple semi persistently scheduled (SPS) configurations share the same pool of HARQ process IDs are provided. One example technique involves a user equipment (UE) receiving an indication of a plurality of SPS configurations, each SPS configuration allocating the UE with a set of SPS occasions for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions. Information for resolving a conflict between a first HARQ process ID associated with a first SPS occasion of a first of the plurality of SPS configurations and a second HARQ process ID associated with a second SPS occasion of a second of the plurality of SPS configurations is received. The first SPS occasion occurs prior to the second SPS occasion. The conflict is resolved based on the information.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for network strengthening, such as by detecting issues with one or more network components and reconfiguring one or more upstream or downstream network components to preempt issues with the one or more upstream or downstream network components, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a tool (e.g., strengthening agent) that implements pre-scripted or dynamic hardening of up and downstream dependencies of a network component in response to an issue identified with the network component. In many embodiments, up and downstream components of a network component may be reconfigured while the issue with the network component is being addressed to preempt issues with the up and downstream components.

Abstract: Aspects relate to the extension of cross-slot scheduling for power efficient paging between different New Radio (NR) operating platforms or environments. In some examples, the same paging downlink control information (DCI) may be shared between existing NR user equipment (UE) and new NR UE in different time slots, where a single paging DCI schedules multiple paging messages for each operating environment. In some examples, the same paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasion may be shared in existing NR and new NR operating environments for scheduling paging messages in different time slots, but different DCIs are used for scheduling the paging messages. In some examples, the same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) paging message may be shared in different slots between existing NR and new NR operating environments.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may connect with a base station over a set of component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. The UE may then monitor a search space configured for scheduling multiple component carriers and may receive downlink control information (DCI) based on monitoring the search space. The DCI may include a carrier indicator field (CIF) and may schedule a set of data transmissions over two or more component carriers (e.g., from the set of component carriers). The UE may determine that the two or more component carriers include the first component carrier and the second component carrier based on the monitored search space, the CIF within the DCI, or both. The UE may then transmit and receive the set of data transmissions over the first and second component carriers.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a wireless device to use periodic reserved resources to serve aperiodic traffic over sidelink. In one aspect, a wireless device reserves a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission, where the reserved set of periodic resources include reserved resources for SCI and reserved resources for data. The wireless device transmits SCI without a data transmission in a periodic resource for the period. In another aspect, a first wireless device receives a reservation from a second wireless device for a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission. The first wireless device receives, from the second wireless device, SCI in a period of the periodic resources, the SCI including an indication that the SCI is not associated with a data transmission.

Abstract: A scheduling entity can schedule regular or periodic control resources (CORESETs) that are relatively sparse in the time domain compared to dynamic CORESETS. Sparsely scheduled regular CORESETs can reduce the overhead incurred by a user equipment for monitoring the control channels in the CORESETs or search spaces. When the network has a burst of data to send, the scheduling entity can use downlink control information (DCI) piggybacked in physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resources to schedule dynamic CORESETs between the regular CORESETs. The dynamic CORESETs can provide resources for a PDSCH and/or physical downlink shared channel (PUSCH).

Abstract: A central controller in a data network can maintain a set of access control list (ACL) rules that represent traffic and data policies of the data network. The controller can autonomously propagate the set of ACL rules to switches in the data network. Each switch that receives the set of ACL rules can selectively install rules from the set based on criteria such as whether or not a given rule in the set is close to the source and device class.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a hybrid scheduling configuration that includes a dynamic scheduling indication, a preconfiguration including initial scheduling parameters, and a set of preconfigured occasions for communicating data with a base station. The UE may monitor for the dynamic scheduling indication based on the initial scheduling parameters and the set of the preconfigured occasions. For instance, the UE may monitor for the dynamic scheduling indication during periodic occasions, monitor for the dynamic scheduling indication using a different periodicity, or monitor based on a time interval (e.g., a slot) during which both the preconfigured occasion and the dynamic scheduling indication occur. In any case, the UE may communicate with the base station after receiving the dynamic scheduling indication, where data may be transmitted to, or received from, the base station in accordance with the hybrid scheduling configuration.
