Abstract: In an aspect, a PDCCH and a PDSCH are transmitted by a BS to a UE, whereby the PDCCH includes a first DCI part and the PDSCH includes a second DCI part (e.g., a 2-part DCI). In an example a first grant associated with the second DCI part is offset relative to a slot position of the second DCI part, whereas a second grant associated with the second DCI part is offset relative to the slot position to which the first grant is offset. In another aspect, two or more grants are grouped together, with the respective group being mapped to a PUCCH.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may identify, for an initial slot of a periodic interval, a number of symbols included in the initial slot and a length of cyclic prefixes used for the symbols included in the initial slot based on a subcarrier spacing that is configured for wireless communication. The length of a first set of cyclic prefixes may be based on a length of a cyclic prefix calculated for an initial symbol of the initial slot at the configured subcarrier spacing. The wireless device may perform communications based on the determined number of symbols and length of cyclic prefixes included in the initial slot. Performing communications may include allocating resources based on a length of the cyclic prefixes used for the symbols included in the initial slot.

Abstract: When a base station is capable of using multiple different types of waveforms for a downlink communication to a UE, the UE may waste processing resources attempting to receive and/or process the downlink communication. For example, the UE may cycle through various possible types of waveforms in an attempt to process the downlink communication. Techniques described herein use waveform signaling for downlink communications to notify the UE of a type of waveform being used for a downlink communication, thereby conserving UE resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, RF resources, and/or the like) that would otherwise be wasted attempting to process the downlink communication using multiple types of waveforms.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communication of downlink control information (DCI) piggybacked on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configured using semi persistent scheduling (SPS). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a message having a configuration for semi persistent scheduling (SPS) of data channels, receiving an indication associated with at least one first downlink control information (DCI) for transmission in at least one of the data channels, and monitoring for the data channels in accordance with the configuration for SPS.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication networks having a capability of controlling the mapping of reference signals onto a carrier based on one or more Doppler parameters. A demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is mapped to a carrier according to a pattern based on one or more Doppler parameters, such as a Doppler frequency and/or a rate of change of channel conditions. In a further example, if an initial transmission of an information packet fails due to a high Doppler scenario, the probability of success of the retransmission may be improved by altering the DMRS configuration to account for the high Doppler scenario. Other aspects, examples, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: A wireless communication system utilizes a synchronization signal block (SSB) structure to enable beam switching at higher sub carrier spacing (SCS) or uplink transmissions within an SSB. The SSB structure has a first SCS for an SSB transmission and a second SCS for a data transmission. The SSB structure is based on the first SCS and the second SCS, with the SSB structure including at least one gap between SSB symbols or between SSBs. The wireless communication system transmits or receives an SSB based on the SSB structure. A base station may transmit a downlink signal during the gap, for example, where the second SCS is much greater than the first SCS. A user equipment may transmit an uplink signal such as an acknowledgment during the at least one gap. The user equipment or the base station may perform analog beam switching during the at least one gap between SSBs.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS), an indication of a plurality of sets of slot format indicator parameters. The UE may receive, from the BS, a communication that identifies a set of slot format indicator parameters from the plurality of sets of slot format indicator parameters. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The UE may monitor the first set of resources in the first data channel for the one or more second grants, the one or more second grants identifying a second set of resources of a second data channel on which the UE is to perform data communications. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the monitoring the first set of resources, a feedback message associated with receipt of the one or more second grants.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for performing rate matching when resources for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) overlap with resources of a control resource set (CORESET) in which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that scheduled the PDSCH. As used herein, rate matching generally refers to the process of repeating or puncturing bits on a transport channel.

Abstract: In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for generating, by a network entity for a user equipment (UE), a synchronization signal block (SSB) and an additional resource signal (RS) based on a variable function of a SSB subcarrier spacing (SCS) for communication after initial acquisition; and transmitting, by the network entity to the UE, the SSB including the additional RS.

Abstract: Some aspects described herein relate to receiving, in a configuration, a slot format indication, wherein the slot format indication includes directional information indicating spatial directions associated with communications based on the slot format, determining, for a slot indicated by the slot format indication and based on the directional information, the spatial direction, and communicating, within the slot and based on the spatial direction, with one or more nodes.

Abstract: Subcarrier spacing (SCS) for data may be adapted or dynamically configured based on the occurrence or presence of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission. For example, during a SSB transmission, the SCS of data may be automatically switched from some default data SCS to a second SCS (e.g., the SCS of the SSB) to allow for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) of data and SSB where the data and SSB use the same numerology. As such, communicating devices (e.g., a base station and a user equipment (UE)) may identify some location or configuration for a SSB, and may determine a second subcarrier spacing (e.g., a subcarrier spacing associated with the SSB) such that the SCS of data may be adapted to the second subcarrier spacing during the FDM of the SSB and the data. The SSB and data may thus be contemporaneously transmitted or received using the second SCS.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to synchronization signaling supporting multiple waveforms. A synchronization signal block (SSB) is configurable for transmission using either at least a first waveform or a second waveform, where the first waveform has higher peak to average power ratio (PAPR) characteristics such as OFDM and the second waveform has lower PAPR characteristics, such as DFT-S-OFDM. The SSB is transmitted selectively using either the first waveform or the second waveform for transmission of the SSB. Furthermore, the characteristics of the transmission such as a predetermined pattern of the first and second waveform transmissions may be utilized to communicate to a receiver the type of waveform being used. In this manner, SSB transmissions may take advantage of respective advantages afforded by each type of waveform, particularly when using higher frequency transmissions above 40 GHz in wireless communication systems.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and apparatus of wireless communication to support frequency division multiplexing (FDM) of multiple waveforms. The methods and apparatus schedule FDM symbols where the scheduling of the FDM symbols is selectively based on one or more waveform parameters during a time interval when the FDM symbols are transmitted. The FDM symbols are then transmitted over the time interval. Further aspects also include the reception of the FDM symbols in a receiver where the waveform parameters are applied for decoding based on application of the waveform parameters.

The base station may determine a configuration for splitting a control resource set for the control information into a first component control resource set and a second component control resource set within a supported bandwidth of the UE. The first component control resource set may be frequency diverse and time diverse from the second component control resource set. The base station may transmit the configuration to the UE.

Abstract: Subcarrier spacing (SCS) for data may be adapted or dynamically configured based on the occurrence or presence of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission. For example, during a SSB transmission, the SCS of data may be automatically switched from some default data SCS to a second SCS (e.g., the SCS of the SSB) to allow for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) of data and SSB where the data and SSB use the same numerology. As such, communicating devices (e.g., a base station and a user equipment (UE)) may identify some location or configuration for a SSB, and may determine a second subcarrier spacing (e.g., a subcarrier spacing associated with the SSB) such that the SCS of data may be adapted to the second subcarrier spacing during the FDM of the SSB and the data. The SSB and data may thus be contemporaneously transmitted or received using the second SCS.

The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the monitoring the first set of resources, a feedback message associated with receipt of the one or more second grants.
