Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently transmitting uplink signals to a base station using shared antennas associated with different power classes. A first device may be in communications with a base station using local antennas and may identify a second device having auxiliary antennas available for transmitting uplink signals to the base station. The local and auxiliary antennas may be associated with different power classes, and the first device may transmit a message to a base station indicating that the first device is capable of transmitting using antennas associated with different power classes. The first device may then receive configurations from a base station of different transmit powers to transmit on the antennas associated with the different power classes, and the first device may transmit uplink signals to the base station in accordance with the different transmit power configurations.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured to generate a preamble of a first message associated with a random access channel (RACH) procedure, such as a two-step RACH procedure. The UE may be further configured to determine an identifier (ID) associated with the UE based on at least one of an ID associated with the preamble or a port index associated with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS). The UE may generate a payload of the first message that indicates the ID associated with the UE. The UE may then transmit the first message to a base station to initiate the RACH procedure. Potentially, the UE may receive a second message from the base station responsive to the first message, and the second message may confirm the ID associated with the UE.
