Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating control information are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE) may include transmitting, to a second sidelink UE, a first sidelink synchronization block (S-SSB) in a scheduled S-SSB slot, performing a first listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure in an unlicensed frequency band, and transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a second S-SSB in a slot before a next scheduled S-SSB slot based on the first LBT procedure being unsuccessful.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for wireless communications that support fallback from a 2-step to a 4-step random access procedures. A user equipment (UE) may establish a connection with a base station using a random access procedure. The random access procedure may be a 2-step random access procedure and reduce a number of handover exchange messages. The 2-step random access procedure may include the UE transmitting, to the base station, a first random access message including a preamble and a payload. In some implementations, the base station may receive the preamble but fail to receive or decode the payload. The random access procedure may utilize the received preamble information instead of performing retransmission of the first random access message. The base station may transmit a second random access message to the UE indicating, explicitly or implicitly, a fallback to a 4-step random access procedure for connection establishment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a first transmission from a first device to be received at a second device. The second device may determine one or more interference parameters (e.g., a maximum allowable interference power) for receiving the first transmission from the first device, and the second device may transmit an indication of the one or more interference parameters using a full-duplex operation (e.g., using resources overlapping with resources used to receive the first transmission). The third device may receive the indication of the one or more interference parameters and determine transmission parameters (e.g., a maximum transmit power) for communicating with a fourth device based on the one or more interference parameters. The third device may transmit a second transmission to the fourth device based on the transmission parameters.

The SCI may include a partial source and destination identifier fields and may indicate to the second UE to apply a first interpretation of multiple different interpretations for the partial source identifier field and the partial destination identifier field. For example, the SCI may indicate to interpret the partial source identifier field and the partial destination identifier field in combination as a source identifier field, as a destination identifier field, or as a partial source identifier and a partial destination identifier. The UE may transmit a medium access control (MAC) packet including a MAC header with identifier fields set to be complementary to the SCI.

In some aspects, the BS may provide a DCI message to the UE that indicates whether a DL transmission is being scheduled that at least partially overlaps with a scheduled UL transmission. The UE may initiate a power save mode based on the received DCI message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some communications systems, interference may impede signaling between a base station and a target user equipment (UE) such that a base station may identify a donor UE to relay communications to the target UE. The donor UE may receive a coded data packet from the base station, and may identify a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) scrambling code for the packets addressed to the target UE. In cases where the donor UE identifies that the packet has an RNTI scrambling code associated with the target UE, the donor UE may forward the coded data packet to the target UE base on the RNTI scrambling code. Such early detection of data packets addressed to the target UE may allow for the UE to forward a data packet without fully decoding the packet.
