Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support discontinuous scheduling. A base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a grant of resources of a communication channel over a multiple of aggregated TTIs. The UE may monitor a control channel for the grant of resources transmitted by base station. The base station and the UE may identify a location of an excluded TTI within the plurality of aggregated TTIs. The excluded TTI may correspond to a TTI for communicating synchronization signals, random access channel (RACH) signals, or the like. The base station may communicate with the UE via the resources of the communication channel over at least a subset of the aggregated TTIs based on the grant and the location of the excluded TTI.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may receive a request for beamforming information associated with line-of-sight (LoS) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication from a second wireless device. The first wireless device may generate a channel estimation matrix for a channel between rectangular antenna arrays of the respective wireless devices, the channel estimation matrix including one or more quadratic terms for the LoS MIMO communication. The first wireless device may generate a first sub-matrix and a second sub-matrix based on the channel estimation matrix. The first wireless device may transmit an indication of a set of precoders for the LoS MIMO communication, the set of precoders based on a symmetry associated with the first and second sub-matrices, and may receive the LoS MIMO communication from the second wireless device based on the set of precoders.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved transmission of ACK and NACK bits to a base station The example method may determine a distance between a first UE and a second UE based on one or more of a sequence length, a number of hypothesis, or a number of UEs sharing an OFDM symbol. The example method may determine a plurality of cyclic shifts for each of the first UE and the second UE. The example method may assign one or more sequences to each UE. The example method may receive, at the base station, a multiplexed signal, wherein the multiplexed signal includes at least one bit of uplink control information (UCI) from the first UE and the second UE multiplexed on an uplink short burst transmitted via the OFDM symbol. The method may enable the receipt of UCI from multiple UEs in a multiplexed signal.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may map a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence to a first symbol in a set of resource blocks (RBs) of an uplink long burst, and the first symbol may occur at the beginning of the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be “front-loaded” in the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be dependent upon RB locations. When the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of an uplink long burst, uplink control information (UCI) may be mapped in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A UE may map UCI in a PUSCH after the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of the uplink long burst. When the base station receives an uplink long burst including the front-loaded DMRS and the UCI mapped in the PUSCH, the base station may identify the DMRS for channel estimation/interference cancelation of the UCI carried on the PUSCH.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that signaling associated with a resource allocation is associated with a service type. The UE may identify a time-domain resource, for a transmission associated with the service type, in connection with determining that the signaling associated with the allocation is associated with the service type. Numerous other aspects are provided.

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.

In some aspects, a user equipment may apply one or more spreading sequences to a set of modulation symbols of a data set to generate spread modulation symbols; apply a scrambling sequence to the spread modulation symbols to generate a set of scrambled symbols; and transmit a waveform based at least in part on the set of scrambled symbols. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for transmitting and processing reference signals, such as DMRS, that may account for mobility characteristics (e.g., that relate to a Doppler measurement) of a wireless node (e.g., a UE), such as Doppler measurements indicating how fast such a device is moving.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a low cost (LC) user equipment (UE) to signal to a base station (BS) capabilities to receive physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) in wireless communications systems. In an exemplary method, a UE signals to a base station (BS) a plurality of parameters for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception by the UE and receives a PDCCH according to the plurality of parameters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, randomized shifts of a base sequence may be used for transmitting uplink control information. For example, a user equipment (UE) may identify a base sequence of an uplink control message. The UE may also receive signaling that indicates a UE-specific initial shift that may be applied to the base sequence. In some examples, the signaling that indicates the randomized shift may be explicit, implicit, or a combination thereof. After determining one or more shifted sequences based on the UE-specific initial shift, a payload of the uplink control message, and the base sequence, the UE may select a shifted sequence to be transmitted, where the selection is based on a payload of the uplink control message. For example, different shifted sequences may be selected for respective transmissions of scheduling requests, 1-bit acknowledgments (ACKs), 2-bit ACKs, and the like.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for defining uplink control channel resources and mapping uplink control channel resources to a user equipment (UE). Approaches described herein include identifying a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format to be used for a subsequent PUCCH transmission by the UE, identifying a PUCCH resource mapping rule based at least in part on the PUCCH format, and determining an uplink transmission resource to be used for the subsequent PUCCH transmission based at least in part on the PUCCH resource mapping rule. The PUCCH resource mapping rule may be explicit and/or implicit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may support switching from one waveform to another on uplink channels. For example, a UE and a base station may utilize both frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) waveform and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms based on channel conditions and other factors. In some examples, a UE may switch for some uplink channels, and use a single waveform for other channels. For example, switching waveforms for channels that utilize frequency domain code division multiplexing (CDM) channel may interrupt the orthogonality of multiplexed transmissions. A UE may transition from one waveform to another either autonomously or based on an explicit indication from a base station. If a UE switches autonomously, it may send an indication of the transition to the serving base station.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, while the UE is using a first modulation order for a physical uplink control channel, a signaling message that identifies a second modulation order, for the physical uplink control channel. The UE may provide the physical uplink control channel using the second modulation order. In some aspects, a base station may provide, while a UE is using a first modulation order for a physical uplink control channel, a signaling message that identifies a second modulation order, for the physical uplink control channel. The base station may receive the physical uplink control channel using the second modulation order. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (e.g., new radio (NR) wireless communications systems), a base station may serve a large number of user equipment (UEs). The base station may allocate uplink control channel resources to the UEs. A UE may receive, from the base station, a first resource assignment for a first set of symbols. The UE may also receive, from the base station, a second resource assignment for a second set of symbols, where the first set of symbols and the second set of symbols include an overlapping set of symbols. The UE may modify first resources for the first resource assignment, second resources for the second resource assignment, or both. The UE may then transmit first information based on the first resource assignment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are disclosed that allow for control information to be provided in an efficient manner during short burst transmission. For example, an apparatus may be configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) that indicates an allocated resource from a base station. The apparatus may also receive data from the base station. The apparatus may generate a cyclically shifted sequence that corresponds to a sequence that is cyclically shifted based on at least one of an ACK or NACK for the received data and a SR. The apparatus may then transmit the cyclically shifted sequence in the allocated resource within one symbol period of a slot of a subframe to the base station. Thus, by transmitting the SR and the ACK/NACK in one symbol, control information for short burst transmissions can be provided in a more temporally efficient manner without adding excessive complexity to the UE.

Abstract: Techniques for performing network-assisted peer discovery to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) communication are described. In one design, a device registers with a network entity (e.g., a directory agent) so that the presence of the device and possibly other information about the device can be made known to the network entity. The network entity collects similar information from other devices. The device sends a request to the network entity, e.g., during or after registration. The request includes information used to match the device with other devices, e.g., information about service(s) provided by the device and/or service(s) requested by the device. The directory agent matches requests received from all devices, determines a match between the device and at least one other device, and sends a notification to perform peer discovery. The device performs peer discovery in response to receiving the notification from the network entity.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may map a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence to a first symbol in a set of resource blocks (RBs) of an uplink long burst, and the first symbol may occur at the beginning of the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be “front-loaded” in the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be dependent upon RB locations. When the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of an uplink long burst, uplink control information (UCI) may be mapped in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A UE may map UCI in a PUSCH after the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of the uplink long burst. When the base station receives an uplink long burst including the front-loaded DMRS and the UCI mapped in the PUSCH, the base station may identify the DMRS for channel estimation/interference cancelation of the UCI carried on the PUSCH.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for a data channel-referenced resource allocation for a control channel. In an implementation, a user equipment (UE) may identify, for a transmission time interval (TTI), a first uplink resource allocation to the UE of a first channel. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the first uplink resource allocation of the first channel, a second uplink resource allocation of a second channel to the UE. The UE may transmit, during the TTI, the first channel and the second channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for uplink channel multiplexing and waveform selection. Uplink channels to be transmitted from one or more user equipment (UEs) to a base station are multiplexed together or separately into an uplink subframe. Each UE is capable of using different waveforms to transmit different channels. Reference signals are communicated according to an RS pattern, which is symmetric across uplink and downlink channels.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for uplink control information (UCI) transmission for overlapping physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource assignments with repetition. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving scheduling to transmit on the PUSCH in a first one or more slots associated with a first number of repetitions and scheduling to transmit on the PUCCH in a second one or more slots associated with a second number of repetitions. The scheduled transmissions overlap in at least one slot. The method includes determining which channel to transmit UCI on and which channel to drop for each of the first and second one or more slots. The method includes transmitting or dropping the UCI in the first and second one or more slots in accordance with the determination.
