Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use information received as part of a two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure to indicate that the two-step RACH procedure has been completed. For example, a UE may perform a two-step RACH procedure that includes the UE transmitting a first message to a base station and, in response, receiving a second message from a base station. The second message may include feedback information the UE uses to signal that the RACH procedure has been completed. In some examples, the feedback information may indicate a physical channel or grant, or both, and a third message may be transmitted by the UE based on the feedback information included in the second message. As such, the third message may serve as an indication that the second message was received, and the UE completed the RACH procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink reference signal may be associated with a positioning procedure. In some cases, the positioning procedure may include transmission, by the UE, of the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which may be farther away from the UE than a serving cell. The UE may determine an absence of a parameter associated with a transmit power for transmitting the reference signal. Based on the absence, the UE may determine the transmit power based on parameters received from a serving cell, based on configuration information, based on a message intercepted from the non-serving cell, or based on other considerations or information. In some cases, the UE may determine the transmit power such that the likelihood of the non-serving cell receiving the reference signal is increased.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A position of a user equipment (UE) may be determined when communications between the UE and a base station are routed through a relay node. For example, the UE 115 may determine whether communications are received from the base station or the relay node based on positioning assistance data that contains positioning-related information about different base stations and relay nodes in the system. The UE may then transmit a position metric based on this determination, where a location server uses this position metric for determining the location of the UE. Additionally or alternatively, the location server or base station may use the positioning assistance data to determine whether an uplink transmission is received directly from the UE or via the relay node and may generate a position metric that the location server uses for determining the location of the UE.
