Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a user equipment (UE) device within a wireless communication system may generate an uplink signal. The uplink signal comprises at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical random access channel (PRACH), or a sounding reference signal (SRS). The UE transmits the uplink signal from the UE, and receives a signal at the UE. The UE performs a correlation between the transmitted uplink signal and the received signal, and determines whether an object is present within a transmission path from the UE based on the correlation. The UE may set a transmission parameter at the UE based on the determination of whether the object is present within the transmission path.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for data aided receivers for URLLC. With more specificity, a UE may encode and modulate at least one of control information or data from a first code block received through a first channel from a base station to obtain an encoded and modulated reference first code block. A comparison between the reference first code block and the first code block may be performed by the UE to estimate a second channel for receiving a second code block from the base station. After receiving the second code block from the base station, the UE may demodulate and decode the second code block based on the second channel that was estimated via the comparison of the reference first code block to the first code block.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for reducing PAPR in wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to suppressing the amplitudes of a data signal that exceed a threshold amplitude level. In some implementations, a transmitting device may detect one or more peaks associated with a data signal to be transmitted to a receiving device. A peak may be any sample of a data signal having an amplitude that exceeds a threshold amplitude level. The transmitting device generates peak suppression information indicating the amplitude, a phase and a position of each of the samples associated with the detected peaks. The transmitting device adjusts the data signal by reducing the amplitudes associated with the detected peaks and transmits the adjusted data signal, with the peak suppression information, to the receiving device. In some implementations, the transmitting device may compress the peak suppression information to reduce the overhead of the transmission.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate providing a waveform including resource elements for data and separate resource elements for multiple pilots in a symbol to improve phase noise suppression and/or allow for use of higher order modulation.

Abstract: Methods related to wireless communication systems and the transmission of code blocks on such systems are provided. A wireless communication device interleaves a plurality of code block segments in time and frequency. The segments are interleaved by mapping a first code block segment of the plurality of code block segments to a first resource located at a first time and a first frequency, wherein the first code block segment is associated with a first code block, and mapping a second code block segment of the plurality of code block segments to a second resource based on at least one of the first time or the first frequency of the first resource and a code block proximity parameter, wherein the second code block segment is associated with a second code block different from the first code block. The device then transmits the plurality of interleaved code block segments. Other features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: A synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighbor base station may interfere with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmitted by a serving base station. A user equipment (UE) that receives both the SSB and PDSCH may mitigate the interference to improve an error rate of decoding the PDSCH. The UE may receive a first SSB including a first broadcast channel (BCH) from a second base station other than a serving base station. The UE may decode the first SSB. The UE may determine, based on the first SSB and the first BCH, that the PDSCH scheduled by the serving base station will overlap with a second SSB from the second base station. The UE may estimate a channel of the second SSB based on the decoded first SSB. The UE may remove a reconstructed second SSB from the PDSCH. The UE may decode the PDSCH.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one example, a receiving device (e.g., a UE) may transmit, to a transmitting device (e.g., a base station), a capability indicator indicating a capability of the receiving device to perform peak reconstruction using soft metrics (e.g., expected value, covariance) on symbol decisions. The receiving device may receive, from the transmitting device and based on the capability indicator, control signaling indicating a clipping level applied to generate a signal and a subset of peaks clipped from the signal. The receiving device may receive the signal generated in accordance with the control signaling from the transmitting device and may decode a reconstructed signal based on performing the peak reconstruction on the signal using the soft metrics on symbol decisions, the clipping level, and the subset of the peaks clipped from the signal.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may determine a set of power adjustment values for a set of symbols to be used to transmit a data signal in a slot. In some cases, each power adjustment value corresponds to a power adjustment to be applied when transmitting a respective symbol in the slot. The transmitting device may transmit a control signal to a receiving device indicating the set of power adjustment values. The transmitting device may transmit the data signal on the set of symbols in the slot, applying the indicated set of power adjustment values to the set of symbols. The receiving device may decode the data signal based on the indicated set of power adjustments.

Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to apply a modified interference cleaning data to account for differences in interference between at least one pilot resource and at least one data resource, thereby improving data decoding performance of the UE. The UE receives at least one pilot resource and at least one data resources from a base station and identifies interference cleaning data based on the pilot resource. The UE then determines whether a first interference affecting the pilot resource is the same as a second interference affecting the data resource. When the first interference is the same as the second interference, the UE applies the interference cleaning data to the data resource. Otherwise, when the first interference is different than the second interference, the apparatus applies a modified interference cleaning data to the data resource.

Abstract: A direction-controlled PAPR reduction is provided in which a base station transmits a PAPR reduction signal using a subset of antenna beams selected from a null space plurality of antenna beams. The subset of antenna beams is selected such that the PAPR reduction signal is not directed having a relatively-high path gain to a UE and/or so that the PAPR reduction signal power is concentrated in directions that have a relatively-lo path gain to the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently reporting channel state feedback for a set of subbands. As an example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a set of reference signals on the set of subbands and determine a respective channel quality indicator (CQI) index for each of the set of subbands based on the reference signals. The UE may then transmit indications of CQI indices for different subbands of the set using variable length indications, such as indications that include different numbers of bits. Since, in some examples, a small length or number of bits may be allocated for reporting CQI indices with a high probability of being reported, overhead in a wireless communications system may be reduced.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a user equipment (UE) device within a wireless communication system may generate an uplink signal. The uplink signal comprises at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical random access channel (PRACH), or a sounding reference signal (SRS). The UE transmits the uplink signal from the UE, and receives a signal at the UE. The UE performs a correlation between the transmitted uplink signal and the received signal, and determines whether an object is present within a transmission path from the UE based on the correlation. The UE may set a transmission parameter at the UE based on the determination of whether the object is present within the transmission path.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may monitor multiple beam pair links (BPLs) including a first BPL currently used by the UE to communicate with a network node (e.g., a base station), and a second BPL. The first BPL comprises a first network beam and a first UE beam, and the second BPL comprises a second network beam and a second UE beam. The UE may decide to switch beams from using the first BPL to using the second BPL based on signaling from the network node or autonomously. When the beam switch is made, the UE switches uplink (UL) transmission from over the first UE beam to over the second UE beam. After the beam switch is made, the UE transmits in the UL over the second UE beam using UL timing adjusted based on the first and second propagation delays.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may support layer-to-layer listen-before-talk (LBT) interfacing for logical discontinuous transmission (DTX) events. That is, a layer one entity of the base station may indicate to a higher layer that a channel is unavailable or experiencing high levels of interference. For example, a layer one entity of the base station may perform a failed clear channel assessment (CCA) or LBT procedure on the channel. The layer one entity may then convey an indication that a scheduled message was not successfully transmitted to a higher layer (e.g., a media access control (MAC) layer that performs link adaptation and scheduling). The higher layer may schedule a retransmission of the message based on the indication. In some cases, the same link parameters may be used. In other cases, the link parameters may be updated based on channel conditions.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication includes monitoring a channel of a radio frequency spectrum band using at least a first receiver and a second receiver in parallel; determining, during the monitoring, at least a first received signal strength of a first receiver output of the first receiver, and a second received signal strength of a second receiver output of the second receiver; and selecting, based on the first received signal strength and the second received signal strength, one or both of the first receiver output or the second receiver output for use in decoding a candidate information signal of unknown signal strength. The first and second receivers are set to first and second fixed gain state providing the first and second receivers with first and second dynamic ranges. The second dynamic range partially overlaps the first dynamic range to provide the wireless device an extended dynamic range.
