Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently selecting resources for sidelink communications in a shared spectrum while allowing other user equipment (UEs) a chance to gain access to the shared spectrum. In one aspect, a UE may transmit sidelink data to another UE in accordance with a frequency hopping pattern to randomize interference and improve throughput. According to some aspects, the first UE may transmit the sidelink data on a first set of interleaved frequency resources in a first time interval and a second, different set of interleaved frequency resources in a second time interval. In another aspect, a UE may rely on feedback from other UEs to determine when reserved resources are released, and the UE may use the released resources for sidelink communications.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for cross-carrier repetition. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes monitoring for an initial transmission of data from a network on a first entity, receiving control information indicating second entities for receiving retransmission repetitions of the data, and receiving the retransmission repetitions of the data via the second entities.

Abstract: Various procedures associated with autonomous uplink (AUL) are disclosed. In order to address the mismatch between listen before talk (LBT) and AUL bandwidth a fractional sensing channel is defined less than 20 MHz. Accordingly, a user equipment (UE) may use the fractional sensing channel to perform LBT only on the resources allocated for AUL. Contention window update may further be modified for transmissions spanning multiple transmission opportunities (TxOPs). A contention window update may occur over all transmission channels considering full acknowledgement information of each TxOP, a percentage of acknowledgement information weighted on the number of channels, a percentage of acknowledgement information weighted on the ratio of resources on each channel, or by selecting a primary channel of the multiple channels for the contention window update.

Abstract: Dynamic scheduling can be performed by 5G new radio in the licensed or unlicensed band. A base station can poll user equipment (UE) by transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) or other downlink communication that indicates resources that a UE can use to send a scheduling request. The resources are dynamic, e.g., they can be updated and allocated to UEs based on network conditions. Other aspects are described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine an offset value to be used to determine reference uplink resources associated with uplink cancellation indications; receive an uplink cancellation indication; and cancel an uplink communication in a set of reference uplink resources, wherein the set of reference uplink resources are determined based at least in part on the offset value and a time domain resource in which the uplink cancellation indication is received. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus where a user equipment (UE) may indicate different physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities (such as UE capabilities in terms of the number of control channel elements (CCEs), blind decodes (BDs), number of downlink control information (DCI) formats, etc.) per monitoring span or slot. For example, a UE may support a different number of CCEs per slot or a different number of DCIs per monitoring span for different service types (such as a different number of CCEs for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)). A UE may indicate different sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities (such as sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities for different service types, monitoring spans, slots, etc.). A base station may receive the indication of UE PDCCH monitoring capability information and may configure the UE with one or more monitoring occasions accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a trigger event configuration for power headroom reporting for a first service type that has a lower latency condition and a higher reliability condition than a second service type. For example, the first service type may be for low latency communications, and the second service type may be for mobile broadband (MBB) communications. The UE may detect a trigger event for power headroom reporting for the first service type based on the trigger event configuration. The UE may transmit a power headroom report for the first service type based on detecting the trigger event. By transmitting the power headroom report for the first service type, the UE may indicate whether power boosting for the first service type is available.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device receives a plurality of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams transmitted by base stations (BSes) during discovery burst transmission windows (DBTWs). For each of the SSB beams, the UE device determines an index value of the SSB beam (lSSB) within a respective one of the DBTWs, and determines a value Z=lSSB mod NSSDQCL, where NSSBQCL represents a maximum allowable number of SSB beams transmitted by each of the BSes during a single DBTW. The UE device determines whether two or more of the SSB beams are quasi co-located based on the values Z for the SSB beams, and processes wireless signals received from the BSes based on the determination.

The UE device determines one or more Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states that indicate a quasi co-location (QCL) for a plurality of antenna ports of the one or more PDSCHs that are transmitted by the BSes. Further, the UE device processes the first subset of the PDSCHs and the second subset of the PDSCHs according to the determined TCI states.
