Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a primary user equipment (UE) may transmit, on a sidelink, information indicating a set of sidelink random access configurations corresponding to a set of uplink random access configurations; receive, on the sidelink and from a secondary UE, a random access signal based at least in part on a selected sidelink random access configuration of the set of sidelink random access configurations, wherein the selected sidelink random access configuration corresponds to a selected uplink random access configuration of the set of uplink random access configurations; and selectively performing a random access procedure in accordance with the selected uplink random access configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: In an aspect, a UE and BS perform a RACH procedure whereby a preamble sequence group for a preamble is associated with a downlink receive capability of the UE. In another aspect, a UE and BS perform a RACH procedure whereby a preamble sequence group is associated with a group-specific RA-RNTI that is used to scramble an associated DCI communication. In another aspect, UEs performing a RACH procedure with a BS via different sets of ROs may monitor the same GC-DCI scrambled with a common RA-RNTI. In another aspect, a UE and BS perform a 2-Step RACH procedure whereby a Msg-A payload includes information indicative of a downlink receive capability level associated with the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to an early indication, from a base station to a user equipment (UE), that may allow the UE to determine from the first symbol of a synchronization signal block (SSB) if the system information associated with the SSB is intended for the UE. Thus, when the UE receives the indication that the system information is dedicated to the UE, the UE may determine to receive and decode the remaining synchronization signal block, a master information block, a set of control resources, a downlink control channel, and a downlink shared channel to receive the system information. In some cases, the UE may determine that the system information is generic and end decoding during reception of the SSB to conserve computational resources by avoiding unnecessary decoding.

Abstract: Idle discontinuous reception (I-DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) may be extended via leveraging of paging assistance from a second UE. For example, a low complexity UE may have a connection to a network (e.g., via a link to a base station) as well as a connection to another UE (e.g., via a device-to-device link to a regular UE). In cases where such a low complexity UE receives paging messages from the network, a UE associated with a device-to-device link of the low complexity UE may monitor paging messages on behalf of the low complexity UE. As such, the low complexity UE may extend its I-DRX cycle, as the assisting UE monitors paging information for the low complexity UE. The assisting UE may forward paging information for the low complexity UE according to paging occasions of the extended I-DRX cycle of the low complexity UE.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to wireless communications implemented by a user equipment (UE). The UE may receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence grouping from a base station, select a DMRS sequence for transmission of DMRS based on the DMRS sequence grouping, and transmit uplink (UL) data along with the DMRS for UL transmission using contention-based protocol, wherein the DMRS is transmitted based on the selected DMRS sequence.

Abstract: A low complexity user equipment (UE) may be in communication with another UE (e.g., with a premium UE or more capable UE) via a device-to-device communication link (e.g., via sidelink), and the low complexity UE may leverage the device-to-device link to improve (e.g., simplify, expedite, etc.) random access procedures performed by the low complexity UE. For example, a low complexity UE may request contention free random access (CFRA) resources via the device-to-device link with another UE. Another device (e.g., another UE in device-to-device communication with the low complexity UE) may receive the request from the low complexity UE and forward the request to the network (e.g., to a base station). The network may then configure CFRA resources for the low complexity UE. Upon receiving the CFRA configuration, the low complexity UE may perform a random access procedure (e.g., a CFRA procedure) with the network (e.g., with the base station) accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A group of random access channel opportunities are identified over which to transmit a preamble associated with a random access channel procedure. A preamble sequence group associated with the identified group of random access channel opportunities is determined based on a repetition level associated with the preamble sequence group. At least one downlink message associated with the random access channel procedure is received based on the repetition level.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for using subband precoding for uplink transmissions. In some cases, a UE may receive, from a network entity, at least one of a first downlink control information (DCI) or a second DCI, each DCI indicating at least one of one or more sets of one or more frequency domain (FD) bases and linear combination coefficients and transmit a PUSCH with subband precoding determined based on the first DCI, the second DCI, or a combination of the first and second DCI, depending on whether the first DCI is received, the second DCI is received, or both the first and second DCI are received.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for downlink and/or uplink beam management for full-duplex communications. An example method generally includes receiving, from a wireless node, a RS resource configuration indicating interference RS resources associated with interference reference signal transmissions; monitoring interference RSs via the interference RS resources; for each of the interference RS resources, determining a reception beam based at least in part on the monitored more interference RSs corresponding to the interference RS resources; receiving control signaling, from the second wireless node, indicating QCL information, which also indicates to either refrain from using any monitored interference RS resource in determining spatial reception parameters or identify at least one monitored interference RS resource to use in determining the spatial reception parameters; and determining the spatial reception parameters in accordance with the control signaling.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for channel state information (CSI) feedback for multiple discrete Fourier transform (DFT) beams on multiple transmission layers. A user equipment (UE) may report a total number of non-zero power DFT beams across all of the transmission layers. The UE may be configured with a total number of leading beams (Ktotal) across all of the transmission layers for which to provide high quantization feedback. When the total number of non-zero DFT beams across all the transmission layers exceeds the configured total number of leading beams across all the transmission layers, the UE may report high-resolution quantization feedback for Ktotal non-zero power precoding coefficients having the highest amplitude coefficients, and may report low-resolution quantization feedback for the remaining non-zero power precoding coefficients. A base station may receive the CSI feedback to determine a precoding matrix.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating as an NR-Light UE may repeat transmissions of uplink signals such as a random access (RA) message (Msg) 3 on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) during a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The UE may receive a random access response (RAR) message including a RAR uplink (UL) grant. The UE may determine, based on a single bit of the RAR message, whether repetition of a RA Msg 3 is indicated. The UE may determine both of a repetition factor and a transmit power control (TPC) command for the RA Msg 3 based on a TPC field of the RAR UL grant. The UE may transmit the RA Msg 3 based on the repetition factor and the TPC command.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine to use one or more channel state information (CSI) omission configurations for omitting portions of a CSI report. For example, a UE may receive a trigger to report CSI, and the UE may identify that a payload of the CSI report exceeds a capacity of resources for transmitting the report. As such, the UE may determine to use one or more CSI omission configurations, where each CSI omission configuration may correspond to dropping different portions of the CSI report. The selection of the CSI omission configuration to use may be based on a set of parameters associated with CSI reporting. In some cases, the UE selects the CSI omission configuration based on an explicit indication from the base station. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may implicitly determine the CSI omission configuration based on the parameters.

Abstract: A base station may determine co-phase information and uplink precoding information (e.g., user equipment (UE) precoder information) based on one or more received sounding reference signals (SRSs) from a UE. The UE may adjust precoders or co-phase for different SRS transmissions over the one or more configured SRS resources. As such, the base station may indicate either co-phase information or uplink precoding information via an SRS resource indicator (SRI), and may transmit an explicit indication of the remaining co-phase information or uplink precoding information in addition to the SRI. In other examples (e.g., when only a single SRS resource is configured), the base station may transmit an index corresponding to uplink precoding information, as well as a separate indication of co-phase information. In some cases, a port selection pattern may be included with an explicit indication, indicating a selection of antenna port indices the precoder or co-phase index applies to.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for a user equipment (UE) operating in a full-duplex mode to report of channel state information based on an estimate of self-interference associated with concurrent uplink and downlink transmissions using at least partially overlapping frequency resources. A base station may transmit downlink reference signals to the UE for measurement and generation of the channel state information, and the base station may use the channel state information reported by the UE to schedule the simultaneous transmission and reception such that the self-interference from full-duplex mode operations is mitigated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station, one or more random access channel (RACH) configurations. The RACH configurations may allocate resources for a contention-based RACH procedure for accessing a wireless network. Based on the RACH configurations, the UE may determine a set of random access occasions for an association period. From the set of random access occasions, the UE may map one or more indices of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks to one or more random access occasions. Using the one or more random access occasions, the UE may transmit a random access sequence, including one or more repetitions of the random access sequence to the base station to access the wireless network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, such as a number of simultaneous feedback reports that can be processed and reported by the UE for various types of feedback. For example, UE feedback processing capability may depend on channel state information (CSI) processing units (CPUs) available to the UE for feedback processing operations (e. g., for performing channel measurements, processing feedback, generating a feedback report, etc.). A UE may report feedback processing capability separately for periodic feedback reporting and for aperiodic feedback reporting, for different types of feedback reporting (e. g., for CSI reporting, for beam management reporting, etc.), etc. As such, a UE may more efficiently report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, and a base station may more efficiently configure UE feedback reporting according to UE feedback processing capability.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a base station operating in full-duplex mode may provide for reception of one or more higher priority transmissions using at least partially overlapping time-frequency resources as used for transmission of lower priority communications. In order to mitigate self-interference at the base station, a transmission power used for the overlapping time-frequency resources may be reduced. The base station may provide an indication of a subset of resources that have a reduced transmission power, an amount of the power reduction for the subset of resources, or both.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) that indicates that the UE is configured with a quantity of receive elements that is greater relative to a quantity of transmit elements with which the UE is configured. The UE may receive, based at least in part on transmitting the SRS, a first channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) set and a second CSI-RS set. The UE may transmit a CSI report that is based at least in part on the first CSI-RS set and the second CSI-RS set. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a user equipment (UE) to identify a low-bandwidth (low-BW) CORESET-0 and associated CSS based on reception bandwidth of the UE. The base station may configure different frequency and time-domain resources of the low-BW CORESET in order to optimize resource utilization of the low-BW CORESET-0, and the low-tier UE may identify these resources of CORESET-0 and CSS from the system configuration information received in a master information block (MIB). As a result, low tier UEs may operate in a same cell as legacy UEs without the need for the base station to transmit additional signaling to either legacy UEs or lower tier UEs for the UEs to receive their respective CORESET-0's and identify a physical downlink channel (PDCCH).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a random access (RACH) procedure, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a first RACH message (e.g., RACH Message A (MsgA)) to a base station, which may include an indication of a modulation order, a maximum number of repetitions for RACH Message B (MsgB) data, or both. The base station may multiplex random access responses (RARs) for UEs into second RACH messages (e.g., RACH MsgBs) based on the indication(s) and may transmit these RACH MsgBs. The UE may receive and decode a downlink control information (DCI) portion of a RACH MsgB but may determine not to decode the data portion of the RACH MsgB if an indication in the DCI of the modulation order, the threshold number of repetitions, or both does not match the value reported by the UE. Otherwise, the UE may decode the full RACH MsgB.
