Abstract: A method performed by a user equipment (UE) generates local gradients for a federated learning task. The method calculates a gradient Sum-Power level based on the local gradients. The method receives a mapping between gradient Sum-Power levels and scaling factors for channel inversion coefficients to process a data block into an unencoded uplink signal. The method also determines a channel inversion coefficient based on a scaling factor obtained from the mapping and the calculated gradient Sum-Power level. The method applies analog modulation and the channel inversion coefficient to the data block to form the unencoded uplink signal. The method further transmits, to a network, the unencoded uplink signal on shared uplink resources for an over-the-air computation of global gradients for the federated learning task.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support signaling of compressed gradient vectors in a machine learning system that utilizes federated learning. The compressed gradient vectors may be used to report stochastic gradients from multiple edge devices (e.g., multiple user equipment (UE) devices) that are combined into a global model at an edge server (e.g., a base station). A base station may configure a UE with one or more parameters for quantizing a local stochastic gradient, and for reporting the quantized local stochastic gradient in a set of compressed gradient vectors. Each vector of the compressed gradient vectors may be associated with a different stage of a multi-stage compression procedure for reporting the local stochastic gradient, and multiple reports from multiple UEs may be aggregated in a federated learning procedure associated with a machine learning algorithm.

Different weights may be applied to the different first symbol packets included in the group of first symbol packets before the first symbol packets in the group are combined together. A receiving device may demodulate the transmitted coded symbol packets to reconstruct the group of first symbol packets, use the reconstructed group of first symbol packets to recover the encoded packets, and use the encoded packets to reconstruct the source packets.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a channel state information (CSI) configuration indicating a first feedback reporting periodicity for a dominant, or strong, spatial layer and a second feedback reporting periodicity for a non-dominant, or weak, spatial layer. The UE may transmit a first CSI report for at least the dominant spatial layer according to the first feedback reporting periodicity. The UE may transmit a second CSI report for the non-dominant spatial layer according to the second feedback reporting periodicity. In some cases, for aperiodic reporting, the UE may be triggered by downlink control information to report CSI for the dominant spatial layer. In some cases, the CSI configuration may indicate different codebooks for the dominant and non-dominant spatial layers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, devices may implement multiple autoencoders for communications. A wireless device may select an autoencoder to use for communications based on a size parameter for a message. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a grant from a base station indicating a size parameter for communicating a message. The UE and base station may determine, from a set of neural network (NN)-based encoders configured at the UE, an NN-based encoder corresponding to the size parameter. The UE may communicate the message with the base station according to the grant and based on the determined NN-encoder. In some examples, the UE and base station may determine a number of resource segments from a set of resources allocated for communication and may determine respective NN-based encoders for the different resource segments.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for wireless communications that support transmission diversity enhancement for uplink control channel are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for enhanced performance of an uplink control channel such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) through the use of transmission diversity. In some cases, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques may be supported for transmission of an uplink control channel for a given format suitable for transmission diversity enhancement. A resource block (RB) used in an uplink control channel transmission may contain a number of resource elements (REs) across one or more resource blocks. According to some aspects, a transmit diversity scheme may be employed at the RE level through application of different spatial precoders for different groups of REs of a given RB.

The indication can be explicitly contained in the UCI, or implicitly realized using scrambling sequences associated with DMRS-PGs to scramble the UCI.

Abstract: Wireless devices may use polar codes for encoding transmissions and may support combining transmissions to improve decoding reliability (e.g., by achieving chase combining and incremental redundancy (IR) gains). For example, an encoding device may puncture a set of mother code bits using different puncturing patterns to obtain different redundancy versions for a first transmission and a re-transmission. Each puncturing pattern may correspond to an equivalent decoding performance. In some cases, to obtain equivalent puncture sets, the encoding device may perform punctured index manipulation procedures on an initial puncturing pattern. A punctured index manipulation procedure may involve switching a binary state for a binary bit at a same binary bit index for each puncture index in a puncturing pattern. A device may receive the transmissions generated using the equivalent puncture sets and may combine the information for improved decoding reliability.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the generation of channel state reports. A base station transmits a reference signal over a plurality of ports. A user equipment (UE) receives the reference signal and measure amplitudes of the reference signal over a plurality of ports. A first subgroup of the plurality of ports and a second subgroup of the plurality of ports are determined. In embodiments, the port groupings may be determined by the base station, which transmits an identification of the groupings to the user equipment. Alternatively, the UE may determine the port groupings. After determining the port groupings, the UE separately quantizes and normalizes the measured amplitude values in each port grouping. The UE may also separately quantize and normalize the phase measurements in each port groups. The UE generates a channel state report based on the normalized and quantized amplitude and phase values.
