Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a set of code blocks to multiple user equipments (UEs). The base station may receive feedback pertaining to reception of each of the set of code blocks at each of the multiple UEs. The base station may generate, based on the feedback, a retransmission message that includes encoded data representative of a subset of code blocks of the set of code blocks and additional redundancy with respect to the subset of code blocks. The multiple UEs may receive the retransmission message and extract a portion corresponding the set of code blocks that were previously unsuccessfully decoded. The UEs may combine the portion of the set of code blocks with the unsuccessfully decoded code blocks to create an updated combined versions of the code blocks. The UEs may decode the combined versions of the code blocks.

A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration signal indicating that tone reservation is activated on a first set of resource elements of a downlink transmission for out of band transmission reduction, where a second set of resource elements of the downlink transmission is reserved for data transmission. The UE may then receive, from a network entity, the downlink transmission including the first set of resource elements and the second set of resource elements. After receiving the downlink transmission, the UE may decode the downlink transmission in accordance with the configuration signal.

Abstract: The described techniques may support multi-rank sidelink communications that may be reduced to single rank communications if failure to decode the multi-rank sidelink communications occurs. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a first message including first data using a first precoding vector applied for a first layer and a second precoding vector applied for a second layer. If the first message is not decoded successfully, the UE may transmit a second message including second data using a third precoding vector applied for the first layer and a fourth precoding vector applied for the second layer, where the second data is derived from the first data, the third precoding vector is derived from the second precoding vector, and the fourth precoding vector is derived from the first precoding vector. The second message may effectively reduce a rank of the first message when the channel is rank deficient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a control node may receive, from a movable relay node, a capability message indicating a set of operational parameters for the movable relay node. The control node may determine a location for the movable relay node based on the capability message and may transmit, to the movable relay node, a location message indicating the determined location. The movable relay node may change locations or reconfigure one or more relay devices (e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces) of the movable relay node based on the location message. Accordingly, the control node may use the movable relay node to relay messages between the control node and a second node, which may increase the likelihood of successful communications between the control node and the second node.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for reduced signaling overhead in PAPR reduction techniques. The apparatus receives, from a transmitter, a signal comprising a set of overhead bits associated with a PAPR reduction sequence applied to a data signal from the signal, wherein the set of overhead bits are distinct from data symbols corresponding to the data signal. The apparatus decodes the set of overhead bits to identify the PAPR reduction sequence applied to the data signal from the signal. The apparatus removes the PAPR reduction sequence applied to the data signal. The apparatus decodes a remaining set of symbols of the data symbols from the signal, wherein the remaining set of symbols are free of the PAPR reduction sequence.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications using a singular value decomposition (SVD) combiner precoder are described. The described techniques may enable a network entity to determine which streams of a set of multiple data streams to combine in the SVD combiner precoder to increase a lowest signal-to-noise ratio of the set of multiple data streams, and which streams of the multiple streams to leave separate. The network entity may determine a precoding matrix using a square matrix ?, which may allow the network entity to dynamically combine (e.g., or not combine) data streams. The network entity may transmit an indication to a UE indicating which streams the network entity will combine and which streams the network entity will not combine. The UE may accordingly demodulate the non-combined streams with a relatively less complex demodulator and may demodulate the combined streams with a relatively more complex demodulator.

The network entity may transmit demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) that have not been precoded and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal that has been narrowband-precoded according to the indicated precoder. The UE may then perform and input a channel estimation to the NN model. The NN model may output the narrowband precoder, which the UE may use to generate a narrowband channel estimate and demodulate the narrowband precoded PDSCH signal. In some examples, the network entity may update NN coefficients and may indicate the updated NN coefficients to the UE.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to processing synchronization signal block (SSB) signals and/or corresponding system information block (SIB) based on whether the SSB is received directly from a network node or from a router in a path from the network node. For example, a signal originated from a network node can be received. It can be determined whether the SSB is received from the network node or from a router in a path from the network node, and the SSB or a corresponding system information block (SIB) of the network node can be processed based on whether the SSB is received from the network node or the router. Other aspects relate to indicating whether a SSB is from a network node or a router in the path.

Abstract: Ultra-wide band frequencies used for extended reality (XR) services operate as unlicensed spectrum, which can result in unexpected interference. Although some link adaptation procedures can be used, uncertain link quality can result in sub-optimal utilization of spectrum resources, which may result in poor performance of an XR service. Some aspects described herein enable use of a fixed quantity of re-transmissions of data for an XR frame, with each of the re-transmissions having different XR frame qualities or different quantities of parity bits. The XR device may transmit a feedback message indicating whether the first transmission was successful and may receive a second transmission with additional data for the XR frame. In this way, the XR device can ensure a more efficient use of network resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit multiple data segments of a video frame, where each data segment is mapped to respective physical resources. In some examples, the UE may receive a combined channel state feedback (CCSF) message indicating a predicted quantity of physical resources to successfully decode data segments of one or more video frames subsequent to the video frame. The UE may transmit data segments of the subsequent video frames according to the predicted quantity of physical resources. In some other examples, the UE may receive a segment feedback message associated with data segments that were unsuccessfully decoded by a network entity, where the segment feedback message may indicate a predicted quantity of physical resources to successfully decode the data segments. As such, the UE may retransmit the unsuccessfully decoded data segments according to the predicted quantity of physical resources.
