Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform, to a first base station and via a first radio frequency (RF) chain, at least a portion of a first uplink transmission associated with a first priority. The UE may receive, from the first base station or from a second base station and during the first uplink transmission, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) grant for a second uplink transmission associated with a second priority higher than the first priority. The UE may cancel a remaining portion of the first uplink transmission based at least in part on receiving the PDCCH grant for the second uplink transmission. The UE may perform, to the first base station or to the second base station and via a second RF chain, the second uplink transmission. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Aspects in a wireless network are disclosed. A user equipment (UE) may report, to a base station, a capability of the UE to simultaneously transmit sounding reference signal (SRS) resources between component carriers (CCs) in carrier aggregation (CA) across at least one frequency band using a specified arrangement of antenna ports and antennas. The UE may receive, from the base station, a configuration to simultaneously transmit the SRS resources using antenna switching for the CCs across the at least one frequency band and the specified arrangement of antenna ports and antennas. The UE may transmit the SRS resources simultaneously between at least two of the plurality of CCs in the at least one frequency band using the received configuration. Among other benefits, this dynamic allocation of resources enables the UE to perform at a level commensurate with its intrinsic capabilities, increasing network efficiency and speed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a first transmission scheduling resources for a second transmission having a first priority. The UE may determine that one or more symbols of the second transmission are to be unused due to receipt of a cancellation indication or due to identifying a conflict, for example, with higher priority resources. Based on determining that the symbols are to be unused, the UE may determine that the base station will not reschedule the unused resources for another transmission, for example, having the first priority. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the determination.

Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to communicating UCI are provided. For example, a method of wireless communication may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station (BS), scheduling information for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) and uplink control information (UCI) during a time period.

The method may include determining, by the UE, that the UCI and a HARQ-ACK codebook have a common priority, the HARQ-ACK being based on the HARQ-ACK codebook. The method may include transmitting, by the UE to the BS, the HARQ-ACK and the UCI during the time period based on the scheduling information, the transmitted UCI using resources determined based on a duration associated with the HARQ-ACK codebook, and the duration being based on the UCI and the HARQ-ACK codebook having the common priority.

Abstract: The techniques described herein may provide for sub-slot based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition (i.e., back-to-back PUSCH repetition within a slot) according to user equipment (UE) capability. A UE may employ uplink data repetition capability reporting for base station scheduling of uplink data repetition and base station management of the number of transport blocks (TBs) that a UE supports (e.g., processes and transmits for uplink) on a per-slot basis. According to the techniques described herein, a UE may indicate whether it supports mini-slot repetition (e.g., for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), or both) via an uplink data repetition capability report. The uplink data repetition capability report may further indicate a maximum number of supported repetitions per TB, a number of supported TBs per slot, etc., such that a base station may configure or schedule PUSCH repetition based on the UE's reported capability.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may interrupt a user equipment (UE) during transport block (TB) encoding. The UE may cancel transmission (e.g., suppress processing) of a TB based on the interruption, such that a first subset of code blocks is encoded and a second subset is unencoded. In some cases, the UE may receive a re-transmission request for a code block including cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits for the TB, where the CRC bits are not prepared. In one example, the UE may modify the CRC bits (e.g., set them to a common value, drop them, etc.) to reduce processing time. In another example, the base station may request re-transmission of all preempted code blocks, supporting TB CRC calculation. In another example, the base station or UE may extend a processing timeline for the re-transmission to support TB CRC calculation.

Abstract: Size ambiguity and false alarm rate reduction for polar codes. A user equipment (UE) may determine a decoding candidate bit sequence for a polar-encoded codeword having a codeword size based on a decoding hypothesis for control information having a particular bit length of multiple different bit lengths for the codeword size. The UE may calculate an error detection code (EDC) value for a payload portion of the decoding candidate bit sequence using an EDC algorithm, and may initialize an EDC variable state with at least one non-zero bit value. Scrambling or interleaving of bits may also be performed prior to, or after, polar encoding and may depend on the bit length. In examples, information bits may be bit-reversed prior to generating an EDC value. In examples, the encoded bits may include multiple EDC values to assist the UE in performing early termination and to reduce a false alarm rate.
