Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a downlink control message (e.g., an uplink grant) that schedules resources for transmitting repetitions of an uplink channel transmission, where each of the repetitions of the uplink channel transmission may correspond to a single transport block. The UE may determine a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources based on the downlink control message, and transmit different instances of the uplink channel transmission repetitions according to different SRS resources. The described examples for uplink repetitions may support various techniques for uplink coverage enhancement and diversity gains.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for computing and reporting a relevance metric for a positioning beacon beam. In an aspect, a first node receives, from a second node, a plurality of beams, determines a relevance metric for each of one or more beams of interest from the plurality of beams, wherein the relevance metric for each beam of the one or more beams of interest is based on a time of arrival at the first node of the beam and a signal strength of the beam, and sends, to the second node, a report identifying each of the one or more beams of interest and including the relevance metric for each of the one or more beams of interest.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described Techniques described may be utilized to avoid errors caused by resource allocation calculations, which may be indicated via higher layer signaling and/or determined within DCI. A base station may transmit downlink control information indicating resource allocation types to avoid errors. In other cases, the UE and/or base station may designate a particular resource block group size to avoid the potential errors. The UE and/or base station may calculate a number of resource blocks groups for a bandwidth part and allocate the size of the resource block group based on the calculation. The UE and/or base station may conduct a comparison between a bandwidth part size and a resource block group size to determine whether to designate a different resource block group size to avoid the errors. Similar techniques may be utilized in allocating resources for precoding resource block groups.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for sounding reference signal (SRS) enhancements. An exemplary method performed by a user equipment generally includes receiving information indicating a symbol, in a sub-frame of a radio frame used to communicate in the wireless network, for transmission of sounding reference signals (SRSs), wherein a location of the symbol in the sub-frame is based, at least in part, on a location of the UE and transmitting a SRS in the symbol based on the received information.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rate matching PDSCH around NZP CSI RS transmissions in multi-TRP scenarios. In some cases, a network entity may signal a rate matching behavior to a user equipment (UE) for processing a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configured with a first quasi co-location association and transmitted from a first transmission reception point (TRP) that potentially collides with one or more types of non-zero power (NZP) reference signals (RS) configured with a second quasi co-location association and transmitted from a second TRP using one or more resource sets.

Abstract: Wireless communication that includes transmission, reception, and configuration of a CSIRS with a configurable band-width is discussed. A base station/gNB may determine a number of antenna ports to be used for wireless communication. The base station/gNB may allocate a first plurality of frequency resources for the transmission of the CSIRS based on the determined number of antenna ports, and may transmit the CSIRS over the first plurality of frequency resources. A mobile device may receive the CSIRS over the first plurality of frequency resources and estimate at least one of channel quality and interference associated with the first plurality of frequency resources based on the received CSIRS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) served by a first cell and a second UE served by a second cell may experience cross link interference (CLI). The UEs may have different subcarrier spacing (SCS) configurations. For example, the uplink SCS of the aggressor UE may be different from the downlink SCS of the victim UE. The serving base stations may configure the UEs with one or more parameters for generating and measuring a signal used to manage the CLI. The parameters may be based on the uplink SCS of the aggressor and the downlink SCS of the victim. The aggressor UE may apply the parameters to generate the CLI measurement signal, and the victim UE may apply the parameters to measure the CLI measurement signal, so the signal from the transmitter fits into the resource grid of the receiver.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed. Flexible interleaving configurations may be employed to support various operations, including beamforming. Flexible interleaving may include dynamically or semi-statically determining a combination of bit-level, tone-level, tone-group level, or other interleaving technique for one or more transmissions. The interleaving configuration may be based on delay spread, a coherence bandwidth, a signal to noise ratio, a Doppler spread, or a combination thereof. An interleaving configuration may be a determination may be made by a base station or some other network entity and explicitly signaled to another device. Additionally or alternatively, the determination may be made based on one or more implicit rules, which may be based on a variety of factors (e.g., available bandwidth, modulation and coding scheme (MCS), code block (CB) size). Further, interleaving may be enabled (or disabled) under certain conditions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration for communications on a set of cells. The UE may determine that signals transmitted on the set of cells may be spatially quasi co-located based on the CA configuration and a predetermined relationship rule. For example, the UE may determine that the signals are spatially co-located based on receiving multiple synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) that have a same SSB index, receiving a common SSB, assuming that an SSB and reference signals sourced by the SSB are spatially quasi co-located, receiving a signal from a particular cell of the set of cells, or receiving a common spatial QCL relationship during a configured period of time. Once the spatial QCL relationship is determined, the UE may receive the signals transmitted on the set of cells based on the spatial QCL relationship.
