Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS), a first signaling communication that configures a plurality of transmit precoder matrix indicator (TPMI) and sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) pairs. The plurality of TPMI and SRI pairs may be for transmitting respective physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications to the BS. The UE may receive, from the BS, a second signaling communication that indicates an update to a TPMI and SRI pair of the plurality of TPMI and SRI pairs. The UE may transmit, to the BS, a PUSCH communication, of the respective PUSCH communications, based at least in part on the update to the TPMI and SRI pair. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable a user equipment (UE) to determine a rate-matching scheme or a feedback scheme for overlapping downlink transmission resources. A collision handling scheme may enable the UE to de-rate match a second, higher priority downlink shared channel independent of another rate-matching pattern or indicator for other shared channels, such as a first, overlapping downlink shared channel. The UE may determine to de-rate match the second channel around resources indicated within control signaling or higher-layer signaling associated with the second channel. The collision scheme may provide for the UE to generate an acknowledgement bit for feedback for one or more portions of the first channel that are preempted by the second channel and generate other feedback for non-preempted portions. A base station may keep track of preempted resources and may retransmit preempted portions of the first channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitter may transmit a payload in transmission to the base station in a wireless communications system. The transmitter may identify a payload to include in the transmission to the base station. The transmitter may determine to transmit the transmission using an orthogonal sequence codebook or a non-orthogonal sequence codebook, based on a size of the payload, a control message from the base station to the transmitter, or a combination of these. The transmitter may then transmit the transmission to the base station based on whether the transmission is to use the orthogonal sequence codebook or the non-orthogonal sequence codebook. The transmission may be a noncoherent transmission. The transmission may be an uplink control information transmission, an uplink data transmission, a downlink control information transmission, or a downlink data transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In wireless systems supporting multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions, devices may implement beam-forming to improve reliability of communications. A user equipment (UE) may select a set of beams, and corresponding beam indices, for communication based on reference signals received from a base station. The UE may determine values corresponding to each of the beam indices using a scalable set of tables. For example, the UE may select a subset of the tables based on the number of selected beams, and may determine the values based on these tables. In this way, the UE may efficiently store sets of tables for multiple different configurations. The UE may sum the corresponding values to obtain a combination index value, and may transmit the combination index value to the base station. The base station may determine the selected beams based on this combination index value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the proposed techniques provide for a semi-persistent design for communicating rate-split messages from a network entity to multiple user equipments (UEs). The network entity may transmit control information to one or more UEs indicating encoding information for receipt of one or more downlink messages to be communicated during respective downlink occasions, which may be configured for rate-split communications. Thus, a first UE may be made aware of one or more semi-persistent downlink occasions via which respective downlink messages (e.g., respective to each downlink occasion) are to be encoded into a common portion and a private portion. In some cases, the common portion may be common with other downlink messages (e.g., intended for other UEs) and the private portion may be specific to the first UE. The first UE may then decode the rate-split downlink messages according to the encoding information.
