Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for truncated identification indicators. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a truncating configuration for an identification indicator. The truncating configuration may indicate a set of bits within an initial identification indicator to remove to generate a truncated identification indicator. The UE may remove the indicated set of bits and transmit the truncated identification indicator to a base station. The base station may receive the truncated identification indicator and reconstruct the initial identification indicator according to the truncating configuration. The base station may reconstruct the initial identification indicator by adding the set of bits (e.g., removed by the UE to generate the truncated identification indicator) to the truncated identification indicator.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a frequency resource for a multicast/broadcast service (MBS) for the UE to monitor for one or more group-common downlink control channels. The base station may transmit an indication, such as an explicit indication, of a monitoring condition for the group-common downlink control channels within the frequency resource. The UE may apply the monitoring condition by enabling or disabling the group-common downlink control channel monitoring within the frequency resource. The UE may monitor one or more downlink control channels for scheduling information from the base station according to the monitoring condition.

Abstract: Examples are described of digital zoom retaining image characteristics such as sharpness, clarity, and/or contrast. In some aspects, a device can receive an image and can determine various image characteristic scores corresponding to digitally zoomed variants of the image having different zoom strengths. For instance, the device can determine a first image characteristic score for a first zoom strength and a second image characteristic score for a second zoom strength. The device can compare the image characteristic scores to an image characteristic threshold, and can select the highest zoom strength for which the corresponding image characteristic score is not below the image characteristic threshold. For example, the device can select the first zoom strength if the first image characteristic score meets or exceeds the image characteristic threshold while the second image characteristic score does not. The device can output image data corresponding to the image at the selected zoom strength.

Abstract: A footbed comprises a cushion comprising a heel portion, a forefoot portion, and a lower surface. The heel and forefoot portions each comprise resilient balls located in a resilient matrix material. The balls have a first hardness measure, and the matrix material has a second hardness measure that is different than the first hardness measure. The balls in the forefoot portion are of a first diameter and the balls in the heel portion are of a second diameter, the first diameter being smaller than the second diameter. The heel portion is separated from the forefoot portion by a midfoot portion. Each of the balls in the cushion may be interconnected with adjacent respective balls by spacing pins, the spacing pins creating gaps between adjacent respective balls, the matrix material being located in the gaps. The matrix material substantially surrounds each of the balls in the cushion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently performing measurements and other functions in preparation for communicating with a base station on a secondary cell (SCell). In particular, a user equipment (UE) may switch to a certain bandwidth part (BWP) (e.g., a dormant BWP) on an SCell when the SCell is deactivated, and the UE may perform the appropriate measurements and functions on this BWP (e.g., based on reference signals received on this BWP). In some cases, the UE may determine to switch to the BWP for performing the appropriate measurements and functions based on an inactivity timer expiring or based on an indication from a base station (e.g., on a primary cell (PCell)). Accordingly, once the UE activates the SCell for communications with a base station, the latency associated with preparing for communicating on the SCell may be reduced.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for resource selection supporting user equipment (UE)-shared multicast feedback. In some systems, a UE and a base station may support multicast communications. The base station may configure a set of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources that the UE may use for multicast feedback messages. The base station may transmit an indication of the set of PUCCH resources to the UE, and the UE may determine to use a PUCCH resource of the set of PUCCH resources based on one or more indications from the base station. The UE may fail to receive a multicast message from the base station and may transmit a UE-shared negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback message. The base station may re-transmit the multicast message according to a set of transmission parameters that is based on which PUCCH resource was used by one or more UEs for multicast NACK feedback.

The UE may determine which of the available radio access technologies are suitable for idle cell reselection (e.g., inter-radio access technology idle cell reselection, intra-radio access technology idle cell reselection) according to the UE capabilities, which may be related to a UE category or UE usage mode (e.g., voice centric mode, data centric mode) of the UE, etc. The UE may transmit a signal indicating the UE capabilities to a network entity (e.g., a serving cell). The network entity may receive the signaling and determine suitable radio access technologies for the idle cell reselection, and transmit a set of parameters in a message for the UE to use as part of the idle cell reselection.

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. Accordingly, the UE may determine this number of repetitions and then monitor for the group-common PDSCH based on the number of repetitions. In some implementations, the group-common PDSCH may include a semi-static repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group aggregation factor. Additionally or alternatively, the group-common PDSCH may include a dynamic repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group repetition number. Additionally, the techniques described herein may enable the configuration for the repeated group-common PDSCH to include gaps between each repetition of the group-common PDSCH and for the UE to transmit acknowledgment feedback for the repetitions of the group-common PDSCH.
