Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a group-common physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), where the group-common PDSCH is repeated for a number of repetitions.

Abstract: Quasi-colocation (QCL) indication is discussed after downlink transmission. In the management of multiple transmission-reception point (TRP) downlink transmissions, a second indication of a QCL assumption for a particular downlink transmission may be transmitted to receiving user equipment (UEs) after transmission of the downlink transmission. Once a TRP passes a listen before talk (LBT) procedure in a first time interval, it may send a first downlink control information (DCI) with indication of a first QCL assumption for the transmission in the first time interval. The TRP then transmits the downlink transmission intended for part of the multi-TRP downlink transmission. Upon receiving an indication that another of the TRPs was unsuccessful in its part of the multi-TRP transmission, the TRP may transmit a second DCI in a subsequent time interval with adjustments to the QCL assumption for the UEs to use in processing the downlink transmission from the first time interval.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A set of uplink control channel resources that are configured for acknowledgment transmissions may be shared among user equipments (UEs) that are enabled to receive multicast communications. Each of the shared set of uplink control channel resources may be associated with set(s) of channel state information. UEs may measure a multicast channel to determine channel state information for the multicast channel. After failing to receive a multicast transmission, UEs may transmit an acknowledgment feedback message over one of the shared uplink control channel resources that is associated with the set of channel state information determined by the UE. A base station that receives the acknowledgment feedback message may transmit a multicast retransmission for the UEs using transmission parameters that are adapted for the set(s) of channel state information associated with the occupied uplink control channel resource.
