Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communication system may support techniques for correlation-based hardware sequences for layered decoding. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may partition layers of a submatrix associated with a parity check decoding procedure into a first set of layers and a second set of layers. The UE may sort each set of layers into a respective set of layer orders (e.g., a first set of layer orders and a second set of layer orders) based on an associated set of correlation values. The UE may combine the first set of layer orders and the second set of layer orders to obtain a set of combined layer orders and may select a decoding schedule from a set of decoding schedules used for decoding each of the combined layer orders based on respective schedule lengths for the set of decoding schedules.

Abstract: The aspects described herein are directed to measurement and reporting procedures of an apparatus (e.g., a low-tier user-equipment (UE) or a regular UE) when a bandwidth part (BWP) of the apparatus includes one or both of a first type of synchronization signal block (SSB) (e.g., a cell-defining (CD-SSB)) and second type of SSB (e.g., a non-cell-defining SSB (NCD-SSB)). The apparatus measures at least one of the first type of SSB that is periodically transmitted to a first group of UEs, a second type of SSB that is periodically transmitted within a time window to a second group of UEs, or both the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB for an operation based on a configuration of the operation, and performs the operation based on a measurement of at least one of the first type of SSB, the second type of SSB, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a paging early indication (PEI) physical downlink control channel communication with tracking reference signal (TRS) availability information at a location that is based at least in part on a length of a bitmap to be used for indicating a PEI. The UE may receive a TRS if the TRS availability information indicates that the TRS is to be transmitted. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) included in a first category of UEs may receive a configuration that configures a paging early indication (PEI) in a first initial downlink bandwidth part associated with the first category of UEs, and may monitor for a PEI in the first initial downlink bandwidth part based at least in part on the configuration. In some aspects, the UE may receive a configuration that configures a PEI in a second initial downlink bandwidth part associated with a second category of UEs, and may monitor for a PEI in the second initial downlink bandwidth part based at least in part on the configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE), such as a UE with reduced capabilities, may switch from a first bandwidth part (BWP) to a second BWP to receive system information for a carrier that includes the first and second BWPs. The UE may switch to the second BWP to receive system information based on a trigger (e.g., control signaling or an expiration of a timer) and then switch back to the first BWP without additional signaling to continue operation. In some examples, the UE may receive additional signaling (e.g., data, control signaling, reference signals) in the second BWP. In some examples, a BWP switching duration may include additional time to process the system information received in the second BWP, for example if the system information includes instructions to switch to a third BWP (e.g., rather than returning to the first BWP).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an AMF may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a communication associated with a request for an identifier.

Numerous other aspects are described.

The group common BWP configuration indicates a group common BWP shared by a group of UEs, including the UE, having one or more common capabilities or a common UE type. The method includes communicating using the group common BWP based on the group common BWP configuration.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) in wireless communications. A user equipment (UE) may determine that a calculated CQI value to be reported in a current sub-frame is affected by a deterministic null scheduling on a downlink channel. The UE may determine a compensatory CQI value. The UE may report the lesser of the calculated CQI value and the compensatory CQI value in response to determining that the calculated CQI value is affected by the deterministic null scheduling. In an aspect, the deterministic null scheduling is associated with a compressed mode gap. The UE may determine whether the calculated CQI value is affected by the deterministic null scheduling by determining whether the current sub-frame is within a first time period before the start of the compressed mode gap or within a second time period after the end of the compressed mode gap.

Abstract: A processor for calculating a convolution of a first input sequence of numbers with a second input sequence of numbers to generate an output sequence is provided. The processor includes multipliers, each multiplying two real numbers to generate an output; multiplexers to direct the numbers in the first and second input sequences or parts of the numbers to the multipliers; and control circuitry to control the multiplexers to direct the first and second input sequences of numbers to the multipliers dependent on whether the numbers are complex or real. An accumulator adds partial products from multiplications performed by the multipliers to calculate the convolution.
