Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reconfiguring a resource envelope allocated to a distributed unit (DU) or a radio unit (RU) based on power consumption at the DU or the RU. A virtual radio access network (VRAN) manager (e.g., a host platform for a VRAN) may perform baseband pooling to allocate a resource envelope to a DU or an RU. After an initial allocation of a resource envelope to a DU or an RU, the DU, the RU, or both may report an amount of power consumed during signal processing for one or more dimensions of the resource envelope. The VRAN manager may then reconfigure a resource envelope for the DU or the RU based on the power consumption at these devices (e.g., to minimize operating expenses (OPEX) or maximize utilization of the resource envelope).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communications device may transmit a first signal. The first signal may be transmitted from a first antenna array of the communications device through a lens of the communications device in a direction. An energy of a portion of the first signal may be below a threshold based on a position of a second antenna array of the communications device. The portion of the first signal may correspond to a portion of a reflection of the first signal that overlaps with the position of the second antenna array. The communications device may concurrently receive, at the second antenna array, a second signal originating from another direction, where the second signal may be focused in the direction of the second antenna array based on the lens.

Abstract: A receiving device may identify a mutual information associated with a code block. The receiving device may identify whether the code block is decodable based on the mutual information. The receiving device may skip decoding the code block if the code block is identified as being not decodable. The receiving device may decode the code block if the code block is identified as being decodable. The code block may be identified as being not decodable if the mutual information is less than a second threshold. The code block may be identified as being decodable if the mutual information is greater than the second threshold. The receiving device may identify the second threshold based on an MCS associated with the code block or a code block length of the code block.

A first device may transmit an indication of a first set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of a second device using receive beams of the first device and a second set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of the first device using the receive beams of the first device. The first device may determine, for one or more signal strength metrics in the first set of signal strength metrics, the second set of signal strength metrics, or both, a change in the corresponding signal strength. The first device may transmit, based at least in part on the determining, an indication of the change in the corresponding signal strength for each of the one or more signal strength metrics.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for dynamically adapting a baseband resource envelope (e.g., baseband resources) allocated to a network entity. A virtual radio access network (VRAN) manager (e.g., a host platform for a VRAN) may perform baseband pooling to allocate a baseband resource envelope to a network entity for signal processing at the network entity. The network entity may perform measurements indicating the channel conditions associated with communicating with one or more user equipment (UEs), and the network entity may report the measurements to the VRAN manager. The VRAN manager may then adapt a baseband resource envelope allocated to the network entity based on the measurements to improve the utilization of processing resources.

A non-coherent modulation configuration may be selected for a transmission of a set of data based on a radio frequency spectrum band used for the transmission. After selecting the non-coherent modulation configuration, the set of data may be modulated using a differential phase shift keying modulation technique. After selecting the non-coherent modulation configuration, a set of frequency-domain symbols may be generated from the set of modulated symbols using a discrete Fourier transform. The set of frequency-domain symbols may be mapped to a set of subcarriers, and a time-domain waveform may be generated from the mapped set of frequency-domain symbols, yielding a time-domain waveform. The time-domain waveform may be transmitted over the radio frequency band.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device (e.g., user equipment (UE), base station) may determine a condition of a channel between the first device and a second device (e.g., UE, base station). The first device may apply pre-equalization to the signal based on one or more pre-equalization parameters. The one or more pre-equalization parameters may be based on the condition of the channel. The first device may transmit, to the second device, or a third device (e.g., UE, base station), or both, a report indicating the one or more pre-equalization parameters associated with the pre-equalized signal. The first device may transmit, to the second device, the pre-equalized signal over the channel. The second device may decode the pre-equalized signal based on the report. The third device may receive the pre-equalized signal and perform interference cancelation procedures to the pre-equalized signal based on the report.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may report an initial capability to maintain latency conditions and a number of supported beams (e.g., a threshold number of beams the UE can support for relaying downlink communications such as synchronization signal blocks (SSBs)). A network entity may then transmit multiple SSBs directly to the repeater (e.g., on the same beam). The repeater may relay the SSBs across multiple beams to provide service to a coverage area. After relaying signaling between served UEs and the network entity, the repeater may transmit a report requesting a specific (e.g., improved or more accurate) number of beams (e.g., more beams or fewer beams than the number of SSBs initially provided). Upon receiving an updated configuration of a number of beams, the repeater may receive more SSBs on a single beam, and relay SSBs on the updated number of beams.

Abstract: A base station transmits a first transmission using a first directional beam and determines an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a user equipment (UE). The base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of the EIRP relationship between the first transmission and the PDSCH. Then, the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE using the second directional beam. The UE uses the indication of the EIRP relationship to receive the PDSCH from the base station over the second directional beam.
