Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may precode sounding reference signals using an interference covariance matrix to report channel quality information to a base station. For example, a UE may receive an indication of a future time from a base station. The future time may correspond to a future time for which the UE may predict an interference covariance matrix. In some cases, based on receiving the indication, the UE may monitor for interference in one or more interference measurement resources. In some examples, the UE may then determine the predicted interference covariance matrix and may transmit a sounding reference signal to the base station. The sounding reference signal may be precoded based on the predicted interference covariance matrix. In some cases, the UE may receive a downlink signal from the base station at the future time or at a second time.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include a user equipment (UE) receiving, in a first time slot, a downlink control information (DCI) message indicating second time slot or first time subslot for transmitting feedback according to a codebook size. The feedback may be transmitted in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). Corresponding subcarrier spacings (SCSs) for at least two of the PUCCH, the PDSCH, and the PDCCH may be different. The PUCCH may be scheduled as time subslots whereas both the PDSCH and the PDCCH may be scheduled as time slots.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may monitor for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmissions and generate SPS hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) bits scheduled for transmission to the base station in a set of uplink symbols. However, a collision may occur during transmission if a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying the SPS HARQ bits overlaps with downlink symbols. The UE may defer all SPS HARQ bits from collided PUCCHs to a next available PUCCH resource. In some examples, the UE may distribute deferred HARQ bits across multiple available PUCCH resources. The UE may distribute the deferred HARQ bits evenly across the next available PUCCH resources, or the UE may distribute the deferred HARQ bits unevenly according to a pattern. In some examples, the base station may indicate (e.g., via a downlink control information (DCI) message) a deferment pattern to the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reporting a first and second stage of feedback for multiple physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) to reduce latency and improve reliability.
