Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an adaptation indication that includes a spatial adaptation indication that indicates one or more derived resources associated with a first CSI-RS base resource, each derived resource including a subset of channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) ports of a network entity that are derived from the first CSI-RS base resource, and/or a power adaptation indication that indicates power offsets for the first CSI-RS base resource or for the derived resources. The UE may transmit CSI feedback based at least in part on measurement of a CSI-RS from the derived resources, measurement of the CSI-RS in association with the power offsets, and/or measurement of a base CSI-RS transmitted from the first CSI-RS base resource in association with the power offsets. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a base station to provide CSI report configurations and a UE to provide CSI reports in response to such configurations which account for a power savings mode of the base station. While in the power savings mode, the base station may deactivate one or more of its antenna panels or sub-panels to reduce energy expenditure, for example, while performing dynamic antenna port adaptation. To account for this antenna port deactivation, the base station may send a CSI report configuration to a UE including one or more measurement resource sets associated with the power savings mode. The UE may obtain the CSI report configuration and send a CSI report to the base station in response to a CSI measurement in the one or more measurement resource sets.

Abstract: Example aspects include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication network, comprising receiving, from a base station, configuration information indicating that physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) joint channel estimation (JCE) is enabled for a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions. The aspects further include receiving, from the base station, a plurality of PDCCH transmissions. At least one PDCCH transmission comprises a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) acknowledgement (ACK) request without a corresponding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) grant. Additionally, the aspects further include identifying a base offset according to the at least one PDCCH transmission. Additionally, the aspects further include selecting an additional offset according to a processing time capability of the UE.

Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a first wireless device such as a UE or base station to prioritize beams which are simultaneously received from or transmitted to cells of different numerologies or which are asynchronous to each other. The device determines an overlap in time between a first signal from a first cell and a second signal from a second cell, where the second cell includes at least one of a different numerology than the first cell or an asynchronous timing relative to the first cell. The device applies a beam prioritization rule for selecting a beam associated with the first signal or the second signal carrying information in separate beams. The device transmits information to or receives information from a second wireless device based on the selected beam. Thus, simultaneous beam conflict resolution may be improved for cells having different numerologies or asynchronous timing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may be configured with periodic uplink grants that provide a number of repetitions and a redundancy version (RV) sequence for the repetitions. Prior to the start of an uplink grant period, the UE may determine a set of slots that are available for uplink transmissions in the uplink grant period. Based on the set of slots, the UE may determine a corresponding RV for repetitions of the uplink communication associated with each slot. The slots with uplink transmissions within the uplink grant period may be non-contiguous. Repetitions of an uplink communication may be configured to be transmitted across multiple uplink grant periods, which may be triggered based on a threshold value associated with the repetitions.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for securing physical (PHY) layer communications. Certain aspects relate to a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). In some examples, the method includes receiving, from a wireless communication device, an indication of a mode of a plurality of modes for use for secure communication over a physical (PHY) channel, wherein each of the plurality of modes is associated with one or more of: one or more types of signals to secure using one or more secret keys; or one or more techniques to secure communication using the one or more secret keys. In some examples, the method includes communicating over the PHY channel in accordance with the mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a request for an on-demand secret key to a network entity, such as if a secret key for a sidelink channel has expired before a refresh timer of the secret key expires. The UE may transmit a request for an update to a secret key associated with a first physical layer channel secured for sidelink communications based on the secret key being expired. The request may include an identifier of the first physical layer channel associated with the secret key. The UE may receive the update to the secret key based transmitting the request. In some cases, the UE may transmit an indication of the update to the secret key to a second UE.

Abstract: Aspects relate to sounding reference signal (SRS) time-domain bundling. Phase continuity may be maintained across SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions to enable a receiver to jointly process these SRS transmissions. In some examples, a user equipment may expect to be configured with SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions where SRS configurations for different SRS transmissions over different SRS occasions specify the same parameters. For example, a first SRS configuration for a first SRS transmission over a first SRS occasion may specify a first set of spatial relation information. In addition, a second SRS configuration for a second SRS transmission over a second SRS occasion may specify that same first set of spatial relation information. In this way, phase continuity may be maintained between the first SRS transmission over the first SRS occasion and the second SRS transmission over the second SRS occasion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may monitor multiple synchronization signal resources, each synchronization signal resource associated with a beam of a set of beams and may determine that multiple candidate beams of the set of beams satisfy a channel quality threshold. The UE may transmit an indication that the multiple candidate beams satisfy the channel quality threshold. For example, the UE may transmit a single random access message on a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource associated with multiple candidate beams, or may transmit multiple random access messages, each one on a different PRACH resource associated with a different candidate beam. The UE may receive an indication of one of the candidate beams from the base station and may establish a connection with the base station using the indicated candidate beam.

A first wireless device may receive, from a second wireless device, an indication of one or more parameters associated with a reference signal that is to be transmitted by the first wireless device. The one or more parameters may be encoded separately from the remainder of the control message using a secret key that is known to both the second wireless device and the first wireless device. The first wireless device may then decode the one or more parameters using the secret key, and may transmit the associated reference signal to the second wireless device based on decoding the parameters using the secret key.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink transmissions. A base station may transmit broadcast signaling (e.g., a system information block (SIB)) indicating waveform configuration information for an autonomous uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the broadcast signaling may include a waveform configuration field (WCF) that may indicate whether flexible waveforms for autonomous uplink are supported, may configure a waveform type, may indicate waveform configuration mapping rules, etc. As such, a UE may identify whether flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink is supported, and may determine waveform types for autonomous uplink transmissions based on waveform type configuration information from a base station (e.g., which may include an indication of whether flexible waveform configuration is supported, an indication of waveform type/scenario mapping rules, etc.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein support transmission of a transport block over multiple slots (TBoMS) with subband full duplex (SBFD) operation. For example, if a time domain resource allocation for a TBoMS includes both uplink slots and downlink slots configured with an uplink subband, a user equipment (UE) may determine which slots to use in accordance with a scheme for selecting available slots for the TBoMS from indicated candidate slots, and the UE may determine the transport block size based on the selected slots. In some examples, the UE may first determine the quantity of resource elements available in each of the different slot types, and then may determine the transport block size based on the quantity of resource elements available in each of the different slot types and the quantity of each of the different slot types.

The wireless device may perform channel estimation based on the reference signals to determine multiple taps. The wireless device may receive a message from the other wireless device indicating one or more taps to be selected to obtain a secret key for encrypting a message. The wireless device may select the taps based on the indication and communicate one or more encrypted messages with the other wireless device. For example, the wireless device may receive encrypted messages, transmit encrypted messages, or both.

Abstract: Fallback procedures for user equipments (UEs) are described that provide efficient fallback to a four-step random access procedure from a two-step random access procedure. For example, after transmitting a first message of a two-step random access procedure, a UE may start a fallback timer or counter and monitor for a second message of the two-step random access procedure for the duration of the fallback timer or counter. At the expiration of the fallback timer or counter, the UE may fall back to a four-step random access procedure. In some cases, the UE may transmit multiple repetitions of the first message and monitor for responses after transmitting the repetitions or after each repetition. Additionally, or alternatively, the base station may transmit an explicit signal to the UE that may signal to the UE to perform a fallback procedure at a beginning or middle of a random access procedure.
