Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may monitor sets of decoding candidates over a search space in each monitoring occasion to detect downlink control transmissions. Such a monitoring process may be resource intensive. To reduce the processing power involved in monitoring the control channel, a UE may measure resources associated with the downlink control channel to obtain a quality metric. The UE may compare the quality metric to one or more thresholds and may perform a decoding process on a set of configured decoding candidates for the downlink control channel based on the comparing. In some cases, if the channel quality is relatively good, the UE may perform a list decoding process using a list size less than a maximum list size or may perform partial data tone processing to reduce the processing complexity for some of the decoding candidates.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include a user equipment (UE) transmitting, to a base station, signaling indicating a capability of the UE to utilize a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for channel state information (CSI) reporting. Upon receiving the signaling, the base station may transmit the DMRS and the UE may update a parameter of a CSI report in response to the received DMRS. The UE may then transmit the CSI report to the base station and the base station may utilize the CSI report for subsequent communications with the UE.

Similarly, a receiving device may receive an encoded signal over candidate resources and may attempt to decode the signal in accordance with the rateless code and using a device identifier or a group identifier as an input to the decoding. As such, intended or non-intended receiving device may be able to evaluate whether to proceed with a decoding attempt or to terminate a decoding attempt at a relatively early stage.

In some aspects, a transmitting device may encode a message using a rateless code associated with a cumulative encoding of various portions of the message and may perform transmission puncturing to adapt a bit rate of related signal transmissions. The transmitting device may signal an indication of the transmission puncturing scheme, and potentially one or more modifications to the transmission puncturing scheme, to a receiving device via control signaling. The transmitting device may modify the transmission puncturing scheme in accordance with prioritizing retransmissions for some cumulative portions of the message ahead of other cumulative portions, such as by granting prioritized cumulative portions of the message relatively earlier transmission occasions in the transmission puncturing scheme.

The transmitting device may signal an indication of such a resource mapping scheme to a receiving device and the receiving device may attempt to decode transmissions of one or more cumulative portions of the message using the indicated resource mapping scheme.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message indicating a capability of the UE to perform bandwidth-limited envelope tracking or a capability of the UE to compensate for bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortion. The UE may receive a request for the UE to activate bandwidth-limited envelope tracking or a request for the UE to compensate for bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortion. In some examples, the UE may transmit an uplink message using a bandwidth-limited envelope tracking configuration. In other examples, the UE may receive a downlink message and use digital post distortion (DPoD) to correct bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortions in the downlink message. Aspects of the present disclosure may enable the UE to use bandwidth-limited envelope tracking and DPoD for wideband signal transmissions, which may result in lower power consumption at the UE.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a retransmission protocol that utilizes compressed feedback. Various implementations relate generally to a compressed feedback technique for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). Upon receiving a compressed feedback value, a sending device may generate a retransmission codeblock. The retransmission codeblock may be derived from multiple codeblocks in a set of codeblocks. A receiving device can use the retransmission codeblock to obtain any failed codeblock in the set of codeblocks based on all other previously decoded codeblocks in the set of codeblocks. Thus, the receiving device does not need to indicate which codeblock in the set failed, but only needs to send a compressed feedback value that indicates which sets of codeblocks have had a single codeblock failure.
