Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may update a noise estimation (e.g., a noise covariance matrix, a log likelihood ratio (LLR) scaling, or both) for communications with a serving base station to account for interference from a neighboring base station operating according to a different radio access technology (RAT). For example, the UE may identify a transmission status of a base station operating according to a first RAT, such as long term evolution (LTE), that shares a radio frequency spectrum with a serving base station operating according to a second RAT, such as new radio (NR). The UE may measure the interference from the LTE base station and may update a noise estimation according to the measured interference. The UE and the serving base station may communicate based on the updated noise estimation.

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.

The plurality of DMRS configurations may indicate whether DMRS combining is supported across the slot or subslot and a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot, and the plurality of DMRS configurations may include a configuration that is capable of indicating to the UE that a single DMRS is configured in the slot or subslot and is to be combined with a DMRS in a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot to demodulate the downlink data channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may receive a signal including a polar encoded control message. A message payload of the polar encoded control message may be associated with known bits information that may indicate one or more bit positions of one or more known bits and a respective bit value for each of the one or more known bits.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Some aspects more specifically provide procedures and configurations used to perform, at a transmitter, probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communications using non-binary polar coding (NBPC). NBPC differs from binary polar coding (BPC) in that BPC uses a binary-input channel whereas NBPC uses a non-binary input channel. For example, while BPC uses a log likelihood ratio (LLR) with a single value corresponding to a given bit to be shaped, NBPC may use a probability mass function (PMF) to define or represent amplitude shaping target values. As another example, aspects use non-binary transformations, which reduce the number of passes to shape q bits from q passes (for BPC) to 1 pass (for NBPC).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform at least one decoding procedure that leverages known bits of a downlink control information (DCI) message. The UE may monitor for a DCI message corresponding to a DCI format and may perform multiple decoding procedures in parallel, including a first decoding procedure and a second decoding procedure. The first decoding procedure may be based on a set of received bits of the DCI message. The second decoding procedure may be based on at least a portion of the set of received bits being replaced with one or more known bit values in accordance with the DCI format. That is, the UE may decode a first portion of bits of the DCI and may refrain from decoding a second portion of bits of the DCI that are replaced with the one or more known bits.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure allow for more efficient rate matching by allowing a triggered A-ZP-CSI-RS set to support rate matching around multiple slots. Aspects of the present disclosure may allow a triggered A-ZP CSI-RS set to be applied to less than all scheduled PDSCH slots when DCI schedules PDSCH on multiple slots. Aspects of the present disclosure may extend CSI-RS resource mapping to span multiple adjacent slots. In another instance, aspects of the present disclosure allow a resource mapping configuration to indicate an initial symbol of a plurality of symbols spanning the plurality of slots for a respective A-ZP-CSI-RS resource. Doing so also allows a PDSCH transmission in a slot among the plurality of slots using a rate matching pattern associated with a set of A-ZP-CSI-RE resources to be received. In addition, aspects of the present disclosure can also add periodicity to A-ZP-CSI-RS resource set configuration.
