Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support quasi co-location prioritization techniques. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling to monitor at least one control resource set. The UE may receive a control message to monitor a shared data channel that overlaps in time with the at least one control resource set. For example, the control message may schedule a downlink message via the shared data channel in a time period of the at least one control resource set. The UE may monitor the at least one control resource set, the shared data channel, or both based on one or more priority rules. A priority rule may indicate to monitor a corresponding control resource set, shared data channel, or both based on whether the quasi co-location assumptions of the various control resource sets or shared data channels are the same or different.

The control signaling may indicate one or more uplink beams for uplink communications, and the one or more uplink beams may be decoupled from a downlink beam for downlink communications by the UE. The UE may transmit a feedback message acknowledging the one or more uplink beams for the uplink communications based on receiving the control signaling. The UE may switch from one or more current uplink beams to the one or more uplink beams indicated via the control signaling during a time period after receiving the control signaling. The UE may transmit the uplink communications using the one or more uplink beams based on the feedback message.

For example, a base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set for beam management, where the configuration may indicate a transmit beam pattern. The SRS resource set may include one or more groups of SRS resources which may be used to indicate the transmit beam pattern. A transmit beam may be the same for each SRS resource within a respective group, but may be different across different groups. The UE may transmit one or more SRS to the base station, each using a respective transmit beam according to the configuration. The base station may indicate a transmit beam to the UE based on the SRS.

A user equipment (UE) may transmit one or more random access messages during a random access procedure between the UE and a base station. The UE may receive a control signal that includes a spatial relation configuration for transmission, by the UE, of an uplink signal. The spatial relation configuration may indicate that transmission of the uplink signal is via a transmit beam used in transmitting one of the random access messages. The spatial relation configuration may configure a spatial relation information element (IE) to identify the random access message. The UE may receive the spatial relation configuration identifying the random access message, and the UE may transmit the uplink signal using a same transmit beam used for transmission of the random access message.

The UE determines whether to multiplex at least one CSI report on one PUSCH repetition of the first set of PUSCH repetitions, one PUSCH repetition of the second set of PUSCH repetitions, or both based on whether a number of symbols in the one PUSCH repetition of the first set of PUSCH repetitions and in the one PUSCH repetition of the second set of PUSCH repetitions is different, and/or UCI excluding the at least one CSI report will be transmitted in the one PUSCH repetition of the first set of PUSCH repetitions or the one PUSCH repetition of the second set of PUSCH repetitions.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for detecting a potential collision between a scheduled uplink transmission and a synchronization signal block (SSB) and transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission. For example, in cases of inter-cell multi-transmission and reception points (multi-TRP), a user equipment (UE) may not be capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving on the multiple serving cells. A first serving cell may indicate to the UE of SSB indices that are actually transmitted for a second serving cell. If there is a slot collision between one of the SSB to be transmitted and a scheduled uplink transmission, the UE may not be able to handle such collision. The present disclosure provides techniques for detecting a potential collision between a scheduled uplink transmission and one of the SSBs and transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission when one or more conditions are met.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for transmitting repetitions of uplink data (e.g., physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)), in particular, for transmitting PUSCH repetitions in multiple transmission and reception points (multi-TRP) and/or multi-panel configurations. In a general aspect, the present disclosure provides techniques for signaling user equipment (UE) capability regarding codebook based and non-codebook based uplink transmissions in multi-TRP for improving reliability and robustness. For example, a UE may signal to a network entity an indication of a capability to support PUSCH transmission with at least two sets of repetitions. Each set of repetitions is associated with at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set.

The UE may transmit, based on the control signaling, a second repetition of the uplink message separated in time from transmission of the first repetition of the uplink message by a time gap satisfying the time gap threshold.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) repetition, for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the first DCI repetition is associated with a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate. The UE may receive a second DCI repetition associated with a second PDCCH candidate that is linked to the first PDCCH candidate for DCI repetition. The UE may transmit a feedback associated with a first symbol of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based at least in part on determining a processing time and an additional processing time, wherein determining the additional processing time comprises determining the additional processing time based at least in part on a parameter associated with at least one of the first PDCCH candidate or the second PDCCH candidate. Numerous other aspects are described.

In one aspect, the UE may monitor the subset of the linked PDCCH candidates, and the UE and the component of the BS may select a reference PDCCH candidate from which to define scheduling information in accordance with the UE monitoring the subset of the linked PDCCH candidates. In some examples, the UE and the component of the BS may select the reference PDCCH candidate in accordance with one or more mutually understood rules or procedures such that the UE and the component of the BS may select a same reference PDCCH candidate.

In one aspect, the UE may select to monitor one of the PDCCH candidates that occupy the same set of resources in accordance with a prioritization rule. Upon selecting one of the PDCCH candidates that occupy the same set of resources for monitoring by the UE, the UE and the component of the BS may select a reference PDCCH candidate for one or more of the multiple sets of PDCCH candidates in accordance with a reference selection rule.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station, an indication that first and second downlink control channel candidates are linked for repetition. The UE may decode downlink control information (DCI) from one or both candidates. The DCI may schedule shared channel resources in the same transmission time interval as at least one of the candidates, or the DCI may include a channel state information request that is associated with reference signal resources that are positioned in the same transmission time interval as one or both candidates. The UE may apply a rule to determine that the downlink shared channel resources or that the reference signal resources and the downlink control channel candidates are validly positioned. The UE may communicate (e.g., receive a downlink message or transmit a report) based on application of the rule.

A user equipment (UE) may receive a message scheduling transmission, by the UE, of uplink control information (UCI) in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource. The UE may receive an indication that the UE is scheduled to transmit the UCI in the PUCCH resource to both a first transmission-reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. The UE may also receive a first set of uplink power control parameters for transmitting the UCI to the first TRP and a second set of uplink power control parameters for transmitting the UCI to the second TRP. The UE may transmit the UCI to the first TRP and to the second TRP in the PUCCH resource, based on the first set and the second set of uplink power control parameters, and without an uplink control channel beam indication.
