Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) indicating a joint field for at least a first component carrier (CC) and a second CC of a carrier aggregation configuration. For example, the joint field may include a rate matching (RM) indication for the first CC and the second CC, a zero power channel state information reference signal (ZP-CSI-RS) indication for the first CC and the second CC, or both. In some cases, the RM indication may include a common RM resource (RMR) configuration applicable for both the first CC and the second CC or per-CC RMR configurations that indicate separate RMRs for each of the CCs. Additionally, the ZP-CSI-RS indication may include a set identifier that indicates a resource set for ZP-CSI-RS resources for both the first CC and the second CC.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which control resources may be identified, and a data transmission may be rate-matched around the one or more control channels of multiple UEs or at multiple aggregation levels in the control resources. A user equipment (UE) may identify a search space for a first control channel, and the rate-matching of the data transmission may be performed based on a location of the search space in the control resources. In some cases, a base station may provide a mapping of resources (e.g., a bitmap) within the control resources that are occupied, which may be used for rate-matching.

Abstract: A current value for a reference voltage for a block family is determined. An amount of voltage shift for a memory page of the block family is determined based on the current value for the reference voltage and a prior value for the reference voltage. The block family is associated with a first voltage bin or a second voltage bin based on the determined amount of voltage shift. The first voltage bin is associated with a first voltage offset and the second voltage bin is associated with a second voltage offset.

Abstract: Aspects are provided for generation and transmission of MDMRS which allow matching of nonlinear model impact or properties between DMRS and data in DFT-s-OFDM waveforms as well as CP-OFDM waveforms. A UE transmits, to a network entity, an MDMRS generated from a DMRS. The MDMRS has a PAPR distribution matching a PAPR distribution of a signal including data in an uplink channel. A target PAPR of the MDMRS is based on a modulation scheme of the data. The UE also transmits the data in the uplink channel, where the uplink channel includes a PUCCH or a PUSCH. As a result of the ability of MDMRS to match the nonlinear impact of DMRS and PUSCH or PUCCH, the network entity may compensate for any EVM that may occur as a result of PAPR reduction by a nonlinear operator of the UE, and communication performance may thereby be improved.

Abstract: Bandwidth part (BWP) switching may benefit a wireless communications system. Such BWP switching may include indication of one or more timing parameters used for time domain resource allocation. For example, the timing parameters may be indicated based on an index to a look-up table (e.g., a bit field in a control transmission). In some cases, one or more tables may be configured for a given BWP, and different tables may contain a different number of rows. The size of the bit field indexing the table may in turn depend on the number of rows. When switching from a first BWP to a second BWP, the size of the bit field may be based on the table of the first BWP, but the bit field may index the table of the second BWP. Techniques supporting improved timing parameter management during BWP switching are discussed herein.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable the base station to apply coverage enhancement for one or more SSB beam(s) or a subset of SSB beams for broadcasting system information in a more efficient manner, where the base station and the UE may adapt the system information differently for different SSB beams. In one aspect, a UE may receive, from a base station, RMSI indicating beam-specific system information in association with one or more SSB beams for receiving an SSB. Then, the UE may receive the SSB from the base station based on the received RMSI indicating the beam-specific system information.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless communications are described. A mode for reporting uplink control information may be selected when a first serving cell and a second serving cell are both configured with uplink control resources. The reporting modes may include a mode for transmitting uplink control information over one uplink control resource or over multiple uplink control resources. Multiple sets of uplink control information may be separately generated for different sets of component carriers or different transmission/reception points. After selecting the reporting mode, the multiple sets of uplink control information may be transmitted over one or multiple uplink control resources in accordance with the selected reporting mode. Communication devices may switch between the reporting modes based on obtained information or calculations.
