Abstract: Aspects relate to techniques for providing joint discontinuous reception (DRX) warm-up occasions in mixed carrier aggregation (CA) scenarios in which a user equipment (UE) is communicating with different cells using different radio access technologies (RATs), each associated with a different frequency range (e.g., FR1 and FR2). The UE may identify respective warm-up occasions for each of the RATs that occur in a different DRX cycles. The UE may further modify at least one of the warm-up occasions to provide a joint warm-up occasion during the same DRX cycle to perform tracking loop updates for each of the RATs.

The network node may obtain frequency domain TRS signal measurements based on a time overlap between the one or more TRS symbols indicated by the TRS configuration and one or more downlink symbols of the non-downlink slot indicated by the TDD configuration, one or more flexible symbols of the non-downlink slot indicated by the TDD configuration, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and techniques for assembling a secure gift card during a checkout process in a retail environment. A gift card can include a physical card component that includes an identifier (e.g., barcode), and a physical label component having a first side and a second side opposite the first side.

The physical card component and the physical label component can be configured to be (i) retained separately prior to activation and (ii) combined at or around a time of activation to form a combined physical gift card that is usable in a retail environment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a first and second antenna array are active for the UE operating in a full duplex operation mode, where uplink signaling at the UE corresponds to the first antenna array and downlink signaling at the UE corresponds to the second antenna array. The first and second antenna array may be associated with one or more operating parameters of the UE. The UE may select one antenna array of the first or second antenna array to use for both the uplink signaling and the downlink signaling based on a value of the one or more operating parameters of the UE satisfying a first threshold value. The UE may communicate, in the full duplex operation mode, the uplink signaling and the downlink signaling using the selected antenna array.

The second gift card component can permanently attach to the first gift card component during the checkout process to form the gift card.

Abstract: A wireless communication device can adaptively perform tracking loop updates for rude wake-up events when operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In an aspect, the wireless communication device can perform one or more tracking loop updates, such as time tracking loop (TTL) updates and frequency tracking loop (FTL) updates, based on a time difference between a last tracking loop update and a warm-up occasion associated with a rude wake-up event being greater than a threshold. In addition, in response to the time difference being less than or equal to the threshold, the wireless communication device can perform the rude wake-up event without performing the one or more tracking loop updates.
