Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may support two or more uplink switching periods for transmit chain switching. The UE may transmit a UE capability message indicating the UE capability to support a first uplink switching period and a second uplink switching period for transmit chain switching. The first uplink switching period and the second uplink switching period may each correspond to different switching periods associated with configuration switches between different transmit chain configurations of the UE. The UE and a base station may select an uplink switching period from among the first uplink switching period and the second uplink switching period. The UE may transmit an uplink data message to the base station after a preparation time that is based on the uplink switching period.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) indicating a joint field for at least a first component carrier (CC) and a second CC of a carrier aggregation configuration. For example, the joint field may include a rate matching (RM) indication for the first CC and the second CC, a zero power channel state information reference signal (ZP-CSI-RS) indication for the first CC and the second CC, or both. In some cases, the RM indication may include a common RM resource (RMR) configuration applicable for both the first CC and the second CC or per-CC RMR configurations that indicate separate RMRs for each of the CCs. Additionally, the ZP-CSI-RS indication may include a set identifier that indicates a resource set for ZP-CSI-RS resources for both the first CC and the second CC.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a sidelink user equipment (UE) operating in a power saving mode may identify a resource reservation configuration for communicating within a resource pool allocated for sidelink communications. The UE may operate in a first power state of the power saving mode during a sensing window. The sensing window may correspond to a resource selection window of the resource pool. The UE may transition, after the sensing window, from the first power state to a second power state that may consume more power than the first power state. The UE may identify a subset of resources of the resource pool in the resource selection window that are available for sidelink transmission by the UE based on transitioning between the first power state and the second power state.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a network component determines location assistance data comprising information associated with one or more reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). The network component transmits, to a user equipment (UE), the location assistance data to facilitate one or more location procedures based on the location assistance data. The UE receives the location assistance data and performs the one or more location procedures based on the location assistance data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless communications systems may support configurations for grouping feedback information within a codebook. A user equipment (UE) may support one or more types of feedback. In some cases, the UE may generate subsets of feedback information within the codebook based on each type of feedback, which may increase overhead. To reduce overhead, the UE may receive signaling that indicates a configuration for grouping feedback information within a codebook. The UE may receive downlink messages that may be associated with a same set of uplink resources for transmitting a feedback message. The UE may generate a codebook to include one or more groups of feedback information in accordance with the configuration and based on the downlink messages. The UE may transmit the feedback message based on the codebook and via the set of uplink resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a base station. The UE may receive a message configuring a RACH preamble occasion and an uplink data occasion. The message may be a radio resource control (RRC) message or a system information (SI) message. In some cases, the UE may determine if the RACH preamble occasion, the uplink data occasion, or both are restricted for cancellation based on the message. The UE may determine when to monitor a downlink control channel for dynamic scheduling based on determining which occasions are restricted for cancellation and may transmit a RACH message based on monitoring—or not monitoring—the downlink control channel for dynamic scheduling preempting a RACH occasion. In some other cases, a base station may schedule transmissions to not overlap with configured RACH occasions.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a repetition configuration indicating a number of repetitions of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission. The method also includes transmitting, to the base station, a first repetition of the PUCCH transmission in a first slot on a first component carrier based on receiving the repetition configuration. The method further includes transmitting, to the base station, a second repetition of the PUCCH transmission in a first candidate slot on the first component carrier or a second component carrier based on the first candidate slot being an earliest slot after the first slot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive multiple requests for sidelink channel state information (CSI) and each request for sidelink CSI may trigger a different sidelink CSI report from the UE. The UE may assign a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to each triggered sidelink CSI report and may select one or more of the triggered sidelink CSI reports for generation in accordance with a CPU capability of the UE and according to a priority associated with each of the requests. For example, the UE may select the one or more CSI reports in an order according to the priority and such that a summation of the CPUs assigned to each of the selected CSI reports avoids exceeding the CPU capability of the UE. The UE may generate and transmit the selected CSI reports.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink transmissions. A base station may transmit broadcast signaling (e.g., a system information block (SIB)) indicating waveform configuration information for an autonomous uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the broadcast signaling may include a waveform configuration field (WCF) that may indicate whether flexible waveforms for autonomous uplink are supported, may configure a waveform type, may indicate waveform configuration mapping rules, etc. As such, a UE may identify whether flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink is supported, and may determine waveform types for autonomous uplink transmissions based on waveform type configuration information from a base station (e.g., which may include an indication of whether flexible waveform configuration is supported, an indication of waveform type/scenario mapping rules, etc.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support configuring associations between system information of at least one downlink (DL) anchor carrier and at least one random access channel (RACH) occasion (RO) of an uplink (UL) anchor carrier for initial access in flexible multicarrier operations. System information may be transmitted by a base station to a UE over the DL anchor carrier. In aspects, the at least one DL anchor carrier may be mapped to an UL anchor carrier, or to one or more candidate UL anchor carriers from which the UE may configurably select the UL anchor carrier, for initial access operations. In aspects, the UL anchor carrier and/or the one or more candidate UL anchor carriers may be respectively associated with one or more ROs. The UE may perform initial access operations over the UL anchor carrier using the associated one or more ROs.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) for a user equipment (UE) group. An example method includes transmitting, to a group of receiver UEs (Rx UEs), an indication that the Tx UE will transmit to the group of Rx UEs using rate splitting multiple access (RSMA), and transmitting to the group using RSMA, wherein transmitting to the group using RSMA comprises: splitting individual messages intended for individual Rx UEs in the group into common messages and private messages, combining the common messages, transmitting the combined common messages using a first precoder, and transmitting the private messages using separate precoders.

Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system may be preempted or punctured by higher priority transmissions, such as ultra-reliable low-latency traffic (URLLC). A PRS preemption indication (PI) may be provided to a UE by a serving TRP identifying one or more TRPs affected by preemption. The PRS PI may further identify the time domain and frequency domain of the preempted DL PRS transmissions. The PRS PI may identify the time domain, e.g., based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain downlink positioning reference signals associated with the group of TRPs are counted. The PRS PI may identify the frequency domain by identifying at least one of four or more frequency sub-bands of the preempted DL PRS transmissions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may employ one or more scheduling constraints to support efficient utilization of techniques for intra-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., intra-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing) as well as inter-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., inter-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing). Scheduling constraints may define how a device may apply intra-device and inter-device multiplexing and cancelation rules for various scenarios. For example, a device may apply intra-UE cancelation rules before inter-device cancelation rules. In some examples, later-received grants or uplink preemption indications (ULPIs) may not change a device's previously established decision to drop an uplink transmission.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, signaling indicating an assignment of resources in a physical time domain to a set of contiguous symbols in a virtual domain. Each symbol of the set of contiguous symbols may be associated with a respective orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol of a respective one of multiple sets of one or more contiguous OFDM symbols in the physical time domain. Each set of OFDM symbols may be associated with a slot in the physical time domain. The method also includes mapping the physical time domain resources to the multiple sets of OFDM symbols based on the assignment of the physical time domain resources to the set of contiguous symbols. The method further includes receiving or transmitting the multiple sets of OFDM symbols on the physical time domain resources based on the mapping.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, a signal indicating a configuration for the UE to report channel state information (CSI) associated with a first set of reference signals. In some examples, the UE may receive a set of reference signals less than the first set and evaluate one or more rules for generating a CSI report based on receiving the set of reference signals. In some examples, the UE may refrain from generating the CSI report if none of the reference signals from the first set are received. In some examples, the UE may refrain from generating the CSI report of at least one reference signal is missing from the first set. In some examples, the UE may refrain from generating the CSI report if a threshold number of reference signals are missing from the first set.

The user equipment may also transmit a hybrid-ARQ acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) in response to the detecting the PDCCH with the Scell dormancy indication field. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
