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.

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.

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.

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: 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.
