Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a codebook type for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback by the UE to a second device (e.g., a network device, a satellite, or a base station). The indication of the codebook type may indicate a HARQ feedback transmission configuration, such as a static HARQ feedback transmission configuration. The HARQ transmission configuration may be associated with a one bit or two bit HARQ codebook. The UE may receive a scheduled downlink shared channel transmission, and attempt to decode the received downlink shared channel transmission. The UE may transmit (or refrain from transmitting) the HARQ feedback based on the decoding of the scheduled downlink shared channel transmission and in accordance with the feedback mode.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for sharing a maximum transmit power limit between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. In one aspect, a wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit of a first uplink signal associated with the first RAT to obtain a first transmit power. The wireless communication apparatus may allocate a second transmit power remaining from the maximum transmit power limit to a second uplink signal associated with the second RAT. The wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit when the wireless communication apparatus is located at a cell edge, and a higher priority of the first RAT in relation to the second RAT may otherwise result in the second transmit power of the second uplink signal not satisfying a threshold.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a base station to perform demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-based channel sounding for a channel between the base station and a UE, such that the base station may configure a more suitable precoding for coherent UL multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission(s) of the UE without increasing communication overhead significantly or at all. In one aspect, a base station performs channel sounding for a channel based on a set of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) DMRS received from a UE via the channel. The base station selects a precoding to be used by the UE for a subsequent PUSCH transmission via the channel based on the channel sounding. The base station transmits, for the UE via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a transmit precoder matrix indicator (TPMI) indicating the selected precoding, where the PDCCH schedules the subsequent PUSCH transmission for the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some examples of the described techniques provide for time-division multiplexing (TDM) modem envelope enhancements. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a message scheduling a transport block or multiple transport blocks in a downlink slot that immediately precedes one or more non-downlink slots (e.g., uplink (U), special(S), or flexible (F) slots) in a TDD slot configuration. The UE may receive the transport block or the multiple transport blocks in the downlink slot, and may process at least a portion of the transport block or the multiple transport blocks during one or more time intervals that occur after the downlink slot. The transport block may satisfy a per-slot transport block size threshold that is associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processing timeline.

Abstract: A new radio (NR) bit prioritization procedure that may be executed by a UE and a base station is disclosed, resulting in transmission and reception of modulation symbols having prioritized bits. For example, a transmitter may encode a code block using low-density parity-check code to generate a stream of encoded bits. The transmitter may arrange the encoded bits in one or more modulation symbols according to a relative priority of the encoded bits. The highest priority bits may be located in the most significant bits of the modulation symbol, and therefore be less likely to experience errors. A receiver may receive the modulation symbols and reorder the encoded bits according to the coding scheme based on the relative priority prior to decoding the encoded bits. The prioritization of the bits within the modulation symbols may provide improved block error rates over sequential mapping of encoded bits to symbols.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium for rate matching for TBoMS are provided. An example method includes calculating a slot length for each UL slot of a plurality of UL slots, the slot length for each UL slot being associated with a plurality of rate matching output bits, each UL slot including a starting point for the plurality of rate matching output bits, the slot length for each UL slot being associated with a starting boundary, the plurality of UL slots being associated with at least one of a single TB or a single rate matching. The example method may include allocating one or more bits of the plurality of rate matching output bits for a modulation process. The example method may include refraining allocating at least one bit of the plurality of rate matching output bits for the modulation process, the at least one bit corresponding to UCI multiplexing.

The apparatus is also configured to provide a PDCCH for the UE in at least one PDCCH candidate of the first SSS group configuration.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first network node may receive second phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) configuration information for a second PTRS that is associated with a second network node. The first network node may transmit a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes a first PTRS that is based at least in part on first PTRS configuration information, the PDSCH being based at least in part on cross-PTRS rate matching and the second PTRS configuration information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for mitigating interference caused by legacy reference signals from neighbor cells (e.g., LTE cell-specific reference signals) to non-legacy downlink transmissions in a serving cell (e.g., NR/5G PDSCH transmissions).

Abstract: A method for wireless communication at a transmitting wireless device and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the device determines, based on the first parameter associated with a Forward Error Correction (FEC) process and a second parameter associated with a probabilistic shaping process, the transport block (TB) size for a TB associated with a signal to be transmitted, and performs the probabilistic shaping process on a first set of data bits of the signal on the TB to obtain a second set of transmit bits. The TB cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is inserted into the TB before or after the probabilistic shaping process, and the probabilistic shaping process is applied on the TB level across multiple code blocks (CBs) associated with the TB or on the CB level individually inside each CB of the multiple CBs. The device further transmits the signal using the second set of transmit bits.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform, in accordance with a synchronization raster, a cell search in a channel having a transmission bandwidth that is less than or equal to 5 MHz, wherein the synchronization raster is based at least in part on the transmission bandwidth. The UE may detect, based at least in part on the cell search, a synchronization signal block (SSB). Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and more particularly to hybrid measurements and reporting for Layer 1 (L1)/Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility (LTM). Some aspects more specifically relate to a UE performing filtered measurements of one or more LTM candidate cells. In some aspects, the hybrid measurements and reporting may be associated with measurements using Layer 3 type measurements and reporting using L1 type reports for LTM. In some aspects, one or more cells, from the one or more LTM candidate cells, may be selected (for example, by the UE or by a network node) for L1 measurement or reporting associated with the filtered measurement values. In some aspects, the UE may transmit an L1 measurement report indicating L1 measurement values of the one or more cells. A network node may perform one or more operations in response to the L1 measurement values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) receives physical downlink control channels from transmission and reception points (TRPs). The physical downlink control channels may be jointly decoded to facilitate joint demodulation of physical shared channels. The UE receives a first downlink control information (DCI) over a first downlink control channel associated with a first TRP and a second DCI over a second downlink control channel associated with a second TRP. The first downlink control channel overlaps in time with the second downlink control channel. The first DCI schedules a first downlink shared channel associated with the first TRP and the second DCI schedules a second downlink shared channel associated with the second TRP. The UE receives the first downlink shared channel and the second downlink shared channel that overlap in time. The UE performs joint demodulation of the first and second downlink shared channels.

Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to information encoding. Information encoding may involve puncturing bits of a codeword or repeating bits of a codeword. The disclosure relates in some aspects to selecting a puncturing or repetition pattern. In some aspects, a puncture pattern for data encoding is selected based on a criterion that the output and the repetition input of an XOR are not erased. In some aspects, a repetition pattern for data encoding is selected based on a criterion that repetition not be applied for the output and the repetition input of an XOR.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability information message indicating a timeline prior to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasion that the UE may be capable of transmitting a PUSCH skipping indication. The PUSCH skipping indication may indicate that the UE may skip uplink transmission in at least one PUSCH occasion. In some cases, the UE may receive signaling indicating that the UE is scheduled with one or more PUSCH occasions. The UE may transmit, at least at the indicated timeline to a first PUSCH occasion, a control message including the PUSCH skipping indication.

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. The AMF may transmit, to the UE, the identifier, wherein the identifier is based at least in part on a synchronization signal block (SSB) periodicity and a number of paging frames per discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising obtaining radio resource control (RRC) signaling configuring the UE with at least one physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, obtaining additional signaling indicating an update to the PUCCH resource, and outputting, for transmission, uplink control information (UCI) using the updated PUCCH resource and the new beam.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a transmitting device may perform a pre-distortion of a signal on a resource allocation for the signal and using discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-domain processing. For example, the transmitting device may perform a first frequency-domain (FD) to time-domain (TD) transform, which may be an example of an inverse DFT (IDFT), on a first set of FD symbols to obtain a first set of TD samples. A size of the first FD to TD transform may be based on the resource allocation for the signal. The transmitting device may perform a crest factor reduction (CFR) function on the first set of TD samples to pre-distort the signal in the TD (e.g., in the IDFT domain), which may enable the transmitting device to avoid out-of-band (OOB) emission or otherwise have greater control over where the pre-distortion contributes energy.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Various aspects relate generally to anchor cell management for a synchronization signal block (SSB)-less secondary cell (SCell). In some aspects, an anchor cell in a different frequency band from an SSB-less SCell may be used for downlink beam management of the SSB-less SCell. A UE may report, to a network node, reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements for a plurality of downlink reference signals transmitted via the anchor cell, and the network node may determine a downlink beam for the SSB-less SCell based at least in part on the RSRP measurements. The UE may receive a configuration of the SSB-less SCell, and the configuration may indicate the anchor cell associated with the SSB-less SCell. The UE may receive an activation indication that activates the SSB-less SCell for the UE.

Abstract: A UE may attempt, based on a first mode, to identify a first opportunity within a preconfigured time period for a measurement associated with at least one SCC when the at least one SCC is deactivated at the UE and the measurement associated with the at least one SCC is due based on a scheduling. Based on the first mode, a radio of the UE may not be tuned to the at least one SCC when the at least one SCC is deactivated at the UE and no measurement associated with the at least one SCC is being performed at the UE. The UE may perform, if the first opportunity is identified within the preconfigured time period, the measurement associated with the at least one SCC at the identified first opportunity.
