Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) that is configured with two sets of power control parameters may be signaled (e.g., via downlink control information (DCI)) as to which set of parameters to use for determining the transmission power on a sidelink channel. The UE may determine a transmit power for a sidelink message based on the indication included in the DCI. The base station may transmit the indication based on whether uplink or downlink communications are scheduled on resources that may overlap with resources used for transmission of the sidelink message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Methods, systems, and devices provide for different tone spacing schemes for different channels. Methods, systems, and devices also provide for different tone spacing schemes for different stages of communication between a UE and a base station. The base station may indicate, to the UE, the tone spacing scheme in a control channel, a synchronization signal, or a reference signal and the tone spacing scheme may be selected by the base station from available tone spacing schemes for communication. Tone spacing schemes may also be referred to as numerologies.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques at a user equipment (UE) provide for efficiently reporting channel state information (CSI) to a base station with an appropriate level of accuracy. In particular, the base station may indicate a level of accuracy to the UE for reporting CSI. The UE may encode the CSI using a first neural network, and the base station may decode the CSI using a second neural network. The first and second neural networks may form a neural network pair, and the UE may train the neural network pair based on the level of accuracy indicated by the base station. For example, the base station may indicate a loss function corresponding to a level of accuracy with which CSI is to be reported by the UE, and the UE may train the neural network pair using the loss function.

Abstract: Wireless devices can use various super-slot formats to facilitate wireless communication using half duplex (HD) frequency-division duplex (FDD) (HD-FDD). A super-slot has a duration that can span over multiple slots and/or subframes. A super-slot can include uplink symbols and downlink symbols. The super-slot can include a guard period that separates uplink symbols from downlink symbols in the same super-slot. A super-slot can support signal repetition to provide coverage enhancement. Signal repetition can be combined with frequency hopping in a super-slot to provide diversity gain.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems may configure a subset of allocated resources (e.g., one or more resource elements (REs) of one or more allocated resource blocks (RBs)) as peak reduction tones (PRTs) for a peak-cancelation signal. For instance, wireless communications systems may configure a fixed PRT allocation based on a Costas array. In some examples, each column of a Costas array may correspond to a RB of a set of allocated resources. A transmitting device may thus identify one or more PRT REs based on the Costas array and a mapping of allocated RBs to the columns of the Costas array. For instance, a transmitting device may identify a pattern of PRT REs to use for a peak-cancellation signal based at least in part on a configured Costas array (e.g., where the peak-cancellation signal may reduce peaks of a corresponding data signal to ultimately reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of a transmission).

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating and decoding orthogonal frequency division (OFDM) waveforms with peak reduction tones (PRTs) designed to reduce PAPR. By generating PRT tones with a machine learning (e.g., neural network) based encoder and mapping some of the PRT tones to subcarriers used for physical channels or signals, PAPR may be reduced while efficiently using system resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a set of one or more sidelink resources, and the UE may identify wake-up signal occasions associated with the resources. The UE may monitor for wake-up signals during the wake-up signal occasions, and the UE may further monitor the associated set of one or more resources based on receiving a wake-up signal. In some examples, respective sets of one or more sidelink resources may be associated with a number of multiple-input multiple-output layers used for sidelink communications, or may indicate respective bandwidth parts used for monitoring sidelink transmissions.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for coordinated sidelink power savings configurations. A wireless node may select a sidelink power savings configuration to use for a sidelink between the wireless node and a user equipment (UE), provide the selected configuration to the UE, and follow the configuration for the sidelink. The selection may be based on input from the UE or without input from the UE. The selection may be a current power savings configuration at the wireless node, a power savings configuration suggest by the UE, or a different power savings configuration determined by the wireless node based on the current and suggested power savings configuration. When a new UE connects to the wireless node, the wireless node may reselect a power savings configuration to use for the sidelinks and provide the reselected power savings configuration to the UEs having a sidelink with the wireless node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) or a base station may select a sequence from a set of sequences for conveying a payload including a set of bits. A length of the selected sequence may be based on a number of time periods for conveying the payload and a number of frequency tones for conveying the payload. The communication device may apply an interleaving function to the selected sequence to generate an interleaved sequence, and transmit the payload including the set of bits using the interleaved sequence. Likewise, the communication device may receive the payload including the set of bits using an interleaved sequence, and apply an interleaving function to de-interleave the interleaved sequence to generate a selected sequence. The communication device may thereby decode the payload based on the selected sequence.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device—such as a base station or user equipment (UE)—may transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) including signaling information in addition to channel estimation information. To improve reception of the DMRS signaling information, the transmitting device may employ data protection techniques to the signaling information and modify a data payload transmitted in the physical data channel associated with the DMRS. In one aspect, the transmitting device may modify cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits in the payload to include verification for the signaling information. In another aspect, the transmitting device may determine a scrambling code based on the signaling information, and may scramble the payload based on the scrambling code.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for transmission time interval (TTI) bundling for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects a method is provided for wireless communications. The method may be performed, for example, by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes identifying a transmit time interval (TTI) bundle comprising a subset of subframes from a set of subframes for transmitting data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and receiving the data on the PDSCH in the subset of subframes.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control information that indicates at least two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. A first TCI state of the at least two TCI states is associated with a half duplex mode of the UE, and a second TCI state of the at least two TCI states is associated with a full duplex mode of the UE. The UE may further receive, from the base station, a downlink transmission according to at least one of the first TCI state or the second TCI state. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may spatial time-division multiplex a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) ports, each of the plurality of SRS ports being associated with at least one of a set of orthogonal weights, the set of orthogonal weights corresponding to phase shifting, and transmit a plurality of SRSs via the plurality of spatially time-division multiplexed SRS ports simultaneously, each of the plurality of SRSs including at least two SRS repetition. The plurality of SRSs may be configured to form or present a quasi-co-location (QCL) receive (Rx) beam subspace. The UE may configure the plurality of SRSs to form the subspace as the QCL Rx beam subspace, and a base station may signal the UE to a specific Rx beam subspace such that it is aligned to the base station's beamforming direction, and achieve spatial multiplexing gain in the QCL Rx beam subspace.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may associate a first and second port with a set of antenna elements based on a first and second linear precoding vector. The base station may generate coefficients indicating a first combination and a second combination of a first data set for a first user equipment (UE) and a second data set for a second UE. The base station may apply the first and second linear precoding vectors to the first and second combinations, respectively, transmit a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a second DMRS using a first comb corresponding to the first and second ports, and transmit at least a third DMRS indicating the coefficients using a second comb. The UEs may extract data from the precoded combinations by applying the coefficients and estimating channels associated with the first and second DMRS.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a guard period associated with switching from a first communication mode to a second communication mode. The UE may be operating in a half-duplex frequency division duplexing mode of operation. The guard period may be determined based at least in part on at least one of: a number of phased locked loops to be used for the first communication mode and the second communication mode, and a particular subcarrier spacing associated with the UE. The UE may switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based at least in part on the guard period. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a grant delay request to a base station. The grant delay request may indicate a future time, at or thereafter a base station is requested to allocate resources to the UE. The base station may transmit the uplink grant to the UE allocating the resources to the UE based on the grant delay request, and the UE may transmit, to the base station, an uplink transmission including the uplink data based on the uplink grant. The UE may transmit the grant delay request as part of a scheduling request (SR), or as part of a buffer status report (BSR), or a combination of these.

A device (e.g., a base station or a user equipment (UE)) may identify a sequence length corresponding to a number of resource blocks, and select a modulation scheme based on the sequence length. The device may select, from a set of sequences associated with the modulation scheme, a sequence having the sequence length. In some examples, the set of sequences may include at least one of a set of time domain phase shift keying computer-generated sequences or a set of frequency domain phase shift keying computer-generated sequences. The device may generate a reference signal for a data transmission based on the sequence and transmit the reference signal within the number of resource blocks.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to estimate interference for concurrent uplink and downlink communications based on an indication of one or more one or more characteristics of an interfering uplink signal communicated between a base station and a second user equipment (UE). The base station or the second UE may transmit, to a first UE, an indication of one or more characteristics of an uplink signal, such as a baseband of the uplink signal or one or more parameters of the uplink signal. The first UE may use the characteristic(s) of the uplink signal to estimate the baseband of the uplink signal and cancel interference associated with the uplink signal. For example, the first UE may use the baseband signal to estimate the interference and may subtract the estimated interference from a downlink signal received at the first UE.
