    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for measurement and reporting techniques based on zero power slots. A UE may receive an allocation of one or more ZP slots from a network entity. The one or more ZP slots may correspond to one or more transmission gaps associated with the network entity. The UE may detect noise energy in the one or more ZP slots corresponding to the one or more transmission gaps associated with the network entity and measure the noise energy detected in the one or more ZP slots. The measured noise energy in the one or more ZP slots may correspond to a frequency dependence of an Rx signal at the UE.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater may receive, from a network node, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) for a plurality of synchronization signal block (SSB) beams, wherein the TCI indicates a quasi co-location (QCL) type for a spatial transmit (Tx) parameter for the plurality of SSB beams, and the QCL type for the spatial Tx parameter indicates that the plurality of SSB beams are Tx spatially correlated. The repeater may receive, from the network node, the plurality of SSB beams in accordance with the TCI, wherein the plurality of SSBs are associated with a direction of the repeater. The repeater may relay, to a user equipment (UE), the plurality of SSB beams. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, a slot based at least in part on a transmit beam, wherein the slot is associated with a plurality of slot repetitions using different transmit beams. The UE may transmit, to the network node in the slot and based at least in part on a metric associated with a beam pair satisfying a threshold, feedback to early terminate remaining slot repetitions of the plurality of slot repetitions using the different transmit beams. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to reporting and correcting a spatial misalignment of an orbital angular momentum (OAM) waveform communicated from a second device to a first device. In an aspect, the first device receives from the second device, the OAM waveform having a spatial misalignment with respect to the second device. The first device determines the spatial misalignment and further determines spatial coordinates for correcting the spatial misalignment and/or one or more channel measurements of the OAM waveform. Thereafter, the first device sends a report based on the spatial misalignment to the second device, the report including the spatial coordinates for correcting the spatial misalignment and/or the one or more channel measurements. The first device then receives an adjusted OAM waveform from the second device, wherein the adjusted OAM waveform is received having a corrected spatial alignment with respect to the second device based on the report.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine to enable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beamforming for communications with a user equipment (UE), for example, based on one or more communications parameters and receiving a message from the UE indicating a capability of the UE to use OAM beamforming. The base station may transmit control signaling to the UE indicating that OAM beamforming is enabled. In some examples, the base station may transmit control signaling indicating an OAM configuration, which may be for a same slot in which the control signaling is transmitted or a subsequent slot. The base station may transmit a downlink transmission to the UE via OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may estimate and correct misalignment associated with OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may disable OAM beamforming and transmit an indication that OAM beamforming is disabled.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may be configured to include an array of lenses along with multiple antenna arrays that each include a set of antenna elements. The antenna arrays may each support multiple beam directions, such as a respective beam direction for each lens of the array of lenses. If beams for multiple antenna arrays concurrently pass through the same lens, the lens may contribute to maintaining separation between the beams. Lenses may also contribute to the shaping of beams, and the use of multiple lenses may enhance a coverage area for beams transmitted or received by the antenna arrays.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first device may transmit an indication of a first set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of a second device using receive beams of the first device and a second set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of the first device using the receive beams of the first device. The first device may determine, for one or more signal strength metrics in the first set of signal strength metrics, the second set of signal strength metrics, or both, a change in the corresponding signal strength. The first device may transmit, based at least in part on the determining, an indication of the change in the corresponding signal strength for each of the one or more signal strength metrics.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to assisted beam management between frequency bands that each utilize spatially directional beams. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a plurality of first transmit beams on each of a plurality of first receive beams within a first frequency band to select at least one first beam pair link in the first frequency band. The UE may then receive a plurality of second transmit beams on each of a plurality of second receive beams within a second frequency band different than the first frequency band to select a second beam pair link in the second frequency band on which to communicate with a transmission and reception point. Each of the second transmit or receive beams has a respective spatial direction within a spatial direction of at least one of the first transmit or receive beams of the first beam pair links.
