Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may transmit system information indicating multiple multicast-broadcast network areas, and may further provide configuration information for each multicast-broadcast network area indicating a location of multicast scheduling information (MSI). The MSI may include an indication of frequency resources on which to receive broadcast or multicast services. The MSI may indicate specific services for an multicast-broadcast network area that are provided via the different frequency resources (for example, different cells, carriers, channels, among other examples). In some examples, the base station may schedule broadcast or multicast services across frequency resources via semi-persistent scheduling. The MSI may indicate a redundancy version configuration (for example, time and frequency patterns for combined redundancy version broadcast transmissions).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, to the base station, a beam recovery request including an indication of a multicast beam, where the beam recovery request is transmitted based at least in part on a unicast uplink grant, and where the unicast uplink grant comprises a set of uplink resources for a multicast beam recovery procedure based at least in part on a failure of the multicast beam associated with multicast communications between the UE and the base station. The UE may receive, from the base station in response to the beam recovery request, a response message including an indication of a second uplink grant, an indication of a second beam for communications between the UE and the base station, or both. The UE may transmit a first uplink transmission via the second uplink grant, the second beam, or both.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a multicast channel configuration that indicates a set of multicast channel time domain resources allocated to a multicast channel for a first multicast broadcast area. The UE may receive an indication of a first set of time domain resources, of the set of multicast channel time domain resources, that have a first reference signal pattern that differs in frequency domain density as compared to a second reference signal pattern used for at least one of a second set of time domain resources of the set of multicast channel time domain resources or a second multicast broadcast area. The UE may decode the first set of time domain resources based at least in part on the first reference signal pattern. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which random access preambles may be designed to provide for relatively low inter-carrier interference (ICI) of adjacent available frequency resources in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). Random access preambles for NTN random access requests may be selected from a first set of random access preambles that are different from a second set of random access preambles for terrestrial random access requests. The first set of random access preambles may be a subset of the second set of random access preambles. The first set of random access preambles may be provided for contention-based random access (CBRA) and contention-free random access (CFRA) preambles may be configured by a base station from random access preambles that correspond to or are different from the second set of random access preambles.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Transport blocks may be scheduled using a single downlink control information (DCI) message. A wireless device may identify mapping pattern for mapping the transport blocks and repetitions of the transport blocks to communication resources. Mapping the transport blocks, or determining a mapping of the transport blocks, to communication resources may include partitioning the communication resources into subunits, where each subunit includes resources spread across each subband of a frequency hopping pattern and at least one instance of each of the scheduled transport blocks.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques are described herein for encoding downlink control information (DCI) based on the number of transport blocks being scheduled by the DCI. The number of transport blocks supported by the DCI may be indicated explicitly using a field included in the DCI. The number of transport blocks can be implicitly signaled in a bitstream of the DCI block. The type of encoding scheme may be based on the coverage enhancement (CE) mode associated with a user equipment.

The first UE transmits, to the BS, a NACK feedback for the first multicast communication based on the first resource configuration. The first UE receives, from the BS, a second multicast communication. The first UE transmits, to the BS, an ACK feedback or a NACK feedback for the second multicast communication based on the second resource configuration.

The UE may select a radio link monitoring configuration from a first radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over a duration that a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process is enabled and a second radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over a duration that the HARQ process is disabled. The UE may monitor reference signals using the selected radio link monitoring configuration, and may determine a radio link failure, a beam failure, or both has occurred based on monitoring the one or more reference signals using the selected radio link monitoring configuration. The UE may subsequently transmit a measurement report based on determining the radio link failure, the beam failure, or both.
