Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques of allocating time resources (or slots) based on a flexible pattern that allows allocation of a set of non-continuous time slots resources in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system. In one example, the aggregation pattern may be indicated via a single downlink control information (DCI) message that carries explicit information regarding non-continuous time slot allocation. Features of the present disclosure may also include techniques to allow for early termination of transmission between the first node and the second node when the receiver (e.g., second node) successfully receives the data channel before the end of aggregated transmission. In such situation, the first node and the second node may cease transmission after reception of an acknowledgement (ACK) message that may allow the second node to utilize the subsequent time slots for communication with its own children on the next hop (e.g., third node).

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling quasi-coloration (QCL) information for demodulation reference signals (DM-RS) associated with multiple transmission-reception points (multi-TRP). An example method generally includes generating quasi-colocation (QCL) information indicating a first QCL assumption for a first group of demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) ports and a second QCL assumption for a second group of DM-RS ports; and transmitting the QCL information to at least one user equipment (UE) for use in processing one or more transmission associated with at least one of the first group of DM-RS ports and the second group of DM-RS ports.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may receive a feedback configuration for providing feedback for downlink communications from a base station. Based on the feedback configuration, the UE may determine whether one or more feedback processes has a multicast-only configuration for multicast data communications, or a multicast-or-unicast configuration for either multicast data communications or unicast data communications. The UE may decode one or more transmissions associated with the one or more feedback processes based on the multicast-only or multicast-or-unicast configuration, and may determine a feedback codebook based on the multicast-only or multicast-or-unicast configuration of the one or more feedback processes. The UE may monitor for retransmissions of one or more multicast data communications based on the feedback process configuration.

Abstract: Aspects are provided allowing a UE to transmit repetitions of an ULT, PEI-R, or other uplink reference signal for on-demand SSB, RMSI, or paging transmissions. A base station initially transmits an indication of a configured uplink repetition mode, which may comprise a first, second, or third mode in which a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many mapping exists between downlink reference signals and uplink occasions, respectively. Afterwards, the UE receives downlink reference signals via different transmission beams of the base station. In response to the downlink reference signals, the UE transmits an uplink reference signal repetition in one or more uplink occasions associated with one or more of the downlink reference signals according to the configured uplink repetition mode. In response to the uplink reference signal repetition, the base station may transmit a SSB, RMSI, or paging message. Thus, a balance between network energy savings and uplink signal reliability may be achieved.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques may provide for handling of priority indications in scenarios where simultaneous physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is supported. For example, wireless communications systems may configure (e.g., via radio resource control (RRC) signaling) simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH across two or more carriers, where piggybacking of feedback information on uplink shared channel transmission may be disabled. Further, a grant (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PUSCH transmission) may include a priority index field to indicate a priority associated with a transmission or resources scheduled by the grant. The described techniques may provide for efficient handling of priority indications associated with scheduled transmissions that overlap when simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH is supported (e.g.

A first device and a base station may communicate via a communication link including a sidelink link between the first device and a second device and a relay link between the second device and the base station. The base station may determine restrictions for the communication link and transmit an indication of the restrictions over the relay link. The restrictions may differentiate data originating from the first device and the second device, restrict the first device to one or more resources, or associate logical channels at the first device with one or more transport block sizes and communication links. The second device may relay the indication of the restrictions to the first device. The first device, the second device, and the base station may communicate over the communication link according to the restrictions.

Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications that support transmitting channel state information (CSI) feedback utilizing flexible uplink control resources.

A method may include transmitting a first plurality of components of a CSI report on a first slot and a second plurality of components of the CSI report on one or more subsequent slots.
