Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to send uplink data to a base station using a particular transmission length provided by the base station. The UE may send multiple repetitions of the uplink data to the base station using transmissions that have varying lengths. The UE may determine a transmit power based on the length provided by the base station and use that transmit power for transmitting the repetitions, regardless of the actual lengths of the repetitions.

For example, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment can include receiving, from the base station, a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grant, the SPS grant indicating a periodicity; monitoring, in a slot scheduled for a downlink data communication, for an SPS release and the downlink data communication; and transmitting, to the base station, an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating serving aperiodic traffic over sidelink using resource adaptation of periodic resource reservations are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a first device includes reserving periodic resources for sidelink transmission. The example method also includes modifying the reserved periodic resources within a period based on a traffic load for the period. The example method also includes transmitting sidelink communication in the period based on the modified periodic resources. Another example method of wireless communication at a wireless device includes receiving a periodic resource reservation for sidelink transmission. The example method also includes receiving a modification of the periodic resource reservation for a period. Further, the example method includes transmitting or receiving sidelink communication in the period based on a modified periodic resource.

Abstract: The techniques described herein may provide for sub-slot based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition (i.e., back-to-back PUSCH repetition within a slot) according to user equipment (UE) capability. A UE may employ uplink data repetition capability reporting for base station scheduling of uplink data repetition and base station management of the number of transport blocks (TBs) that a UE supports (e.g., processes and transmits for uplink) on a per-slot basis. According to the techniques described herein, a UE may indicate whether it supports mini-slot repetition (e.g., for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), or both) via an uplink data repetition capability report. The uplink data repetition capability report may further indicate a maximum number of supported repetitions per TB, a number of supported TBs per slot, etc., such that a base station may configure or schedule PUSCH repetition based on the UE's reported capability.

Abstract: Various implementations and techniques are disclosed to enable and provide communication devices, methods, and systems for sidelink communication resources configuration and management.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a downlink control transmission and multiple downlink data transmissions to a user equipment (UE). The UE may schedule an uplink data transmission based on the downlink control transmission and may schedule transmission acknowledgement messages based on the multiple downlink data transmissions. The UE may identify that the scheduled uplink data transmission overlaps with the scheduled transmission acknowledgement messages. The UE may generate one or more acknowledgement codebooks for transmission of the multiple transmission acknowledgment messages and may multiplex the one or more acknowledgement codebooks with the uplink data transmission on the uplink data channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE may determine resource amounts for transmitting feedback codebook for two different service types based on satisfaction of a multiplexing condition by overlapping resource schedules. The codebooks may be encoded according to different coding rates to generate encoded feedback codebooks. The encoded codebooks may be mapped to transmission resources according to codebook payload sizes, encoding rates, and available resources and transmitted according to the mapping.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of parameters for generating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD)-acknowledgement (ACK) codebook associated with a particular downlink control information (DCI) format of a plurality of DCI formats, wherein the particular DCI format is associated with a particular priority of a plurality of priorities; and generate the HARQ-ACK codebook based at least in part on the set of parameters. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling uplink transmissions are disclosed. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a downlink control information signal, wherein the downlink control information indicates an uplink grant for multiple contiguous nominal uplink repetitions, identifies resources allocated for the multiple contiguous nominal uplink repetitions based on the uplink grant, wherein the identified resources include first resources for a first actual repetition of uplink data and second resources for a second actual repetition of uplink data, transmits the first actual repetition of uplink data using the first resources, and transmits the second actual repetition of the uplink data using the second resources.

Abstract: Bearing component providing unaffected material that has a surface, which has been subjected to a hard machining process during where the temperature of the surface did not exceed the austenitizing temperature of the unaffected material. The surface of the bearing component includes a white layer formed during the hard machining process. The white layer has a nano-crystalline microstructure that includes grains having a maximum grain size up to 500 nm. The white layer is located directly adjacent to the unaffected material of the bearing component, where no dark layer is formed during the hard machining process.

Abstract: This invention provides human mtDNA polymorphisms that are diagnostic of all the major human haplogroups and methods of diagnosing those haplogroups and selected subhaplogroups. This invention also provides methods for identifying evolutionarily significant mitochondrial DNA genes, nucleotide alleles, and amino acid alleles. Evolutionarily significant genes and alleles are identified using one or two populations of a single species. The process of identifying evolutionarily significant nucleotide alleles involves identifying evolutionarily significant genes and then evolutionarily significant nucleotide alleles in those genes, and identifying evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles involves identifying amino acids encoded by all nonsynonymous alleles. Synonymous codings of the nucleotide alleles encoding evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles of this invention are equivalent to the evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles disclosed herein and are included within the scope of this invention.
