Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. Aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatuses associated with synchronizing a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) release counter between a base station and a user equipment (UE). For example, the synchronization may be performed in connection with the UE entering a connected mode, the base station reconfiguring a PUR, and/or the like. By synchronizing the PUR release counter, misalignment of the PUR release counter between the UE and the base station may be reduced or eliminated. Reducing the misalignment of the PUR release counter reduces the occurrence of a premature release of a PUR, thus reducing UE interference and improving the likelihood of success of the UE's transmission.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication is presented. The method includes receiving pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) configuration information including one or more least significant bits (LSBs) of a hyper system frame number (H-SFN). The method also includes determining a PUR start time based on the H-SFN identified by the one or more LSBs. The method further includes transmitting data to a base station on a PUR identified in the PUR configuration information at the PUR start time.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for truncated identification indicators. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a truncating configuration for an identification indicator. The truncating configuration may indicate a set of bits within an initial identification indicator to remove to generate a truncated identification indicator. The UE may remove the indicated set of bits and transmit the truncated identification indicator to a base station. The base station may receive the truncated identification indicator and reconstruct the initial identification indicator according to the truncating configuration. The base station may reconstruct the initial identification indicator by adding the set of bits (e.g., removed by the UE to generate the truncated identification indicator) to the truncated identification indicator.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide for an indication that a unified access control (UAC) parameter of a user equipment (UE) has changed. For example, a paging message or direct indication information may be provided to a UE indicating that a UAC parameter has changed. In such a case, the UE may not be expected to periodically check a scheduling information list of a system information block type 1 (SIB1). Thus, battery power of UEs may be conserved and signaling resources that would otherwise be used to periodically check the scheduling information list may be conserved.

Abstract: A base station may calculate a scheduling value based on at least one of a number of groups associated with a set of UEs operating on a cell provided by the base station a radio frame number, or a subframe number. The base station may send, based on the calculated scheduling value, at least one NRS in at least one PO on a narrowband control channel. A UE may receive, from the base station providing the cell, information associated with at least one PO for the UE. The UE may determine, based on the received information, scheduling information associated with at least one NRS in the at least one PO. The UE may detect the at least one NRS in the at least one PO on a narrowband control channel when the determined scheduling information indicates the at least one NRS is in the at least one PO.

Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a User Equipment (UE). The UE receives a second random access message from the base station after transmitting a first random access message. The second random access message comprises a random access response (RAR) that indicates a narrowband to be used for receiving a fourth random access message. The apparatus determines whether to perform a measurement of the narrowband for the fourth random access message based on an amount of time between receiving the second random access message and transmitting a third random access message. The base station may determine whether the report comprises a measurement of the first narrowband or the second narrowband based on an amount of time between the second random access message and the third random access message or based on an indication in the third random access message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which repetitions of communications may be configured for multi-transport block (TB) communications. A UE may determine that an acknowledgment of one or more initial repetitions of one or more TBs is received, and may cancel one or more subsequent repetitions of the acknowledged TB(s). The acknowledgment of the one or more initial repetitions may be provided by a base station in a new resource grant that provides an implicit acknowledgment of one or more TBs. In cases where multiple different TBs may be associated with the prior resource grant, the UE can determine to drop one or more repetitions after an implicit acknowledgment of a TB based on whether the resource grants are for a single TB or are for multiple TBs.

Abstract: A method for early termination of an ongoing uplink transmission based on implicit HARQ-ACK is disclosed. A wireless device may receive a first grant for a first uplink transmission and may begin repetitions of the first uplink transmission. The wireless device may receive a second grant for a second uplink transmission during the ongoing first uplink transmission. The wireless device may determine if the second grant is an implicit HARQ-ACK and may perform an early detection of the HARQ-ACK. The wireless device may terminate early the first uplink transmission based on the detection of the HARQ-ACK. Allowing the wireless device to terminate the first uplink transmission through an implicit HARQ-ACK frees up channel resources and saves power. The wireless device may also start the second uplink transmission earlier than a schedule time based on the early detection of the HARQ-ACK, eliminating the waste of unused uplink resources and saving power.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may truncate or remove a number of bits from its UE identity based on identity truncating information to generate a truncated UE identity. The truncated UE identity can be transmitted by eMTC devices to a base station in an RRC connection request, and can be used by the base station to determine which core network entity stores the UE's capabilities. In some implementations, the UE may truncate or remove a number of bits from the 48-bit 5G-S-TMSI based on the identity truncating information to generate a 40-bit truncated 5G-S-TMSI that can be transmitted by an eMTC device to the base station in the RRC connection request and yet still provide the base station with enough information to determine which AMF stores the UE context.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. that support preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) in wireless communications. A base station may communicate that support for PUR is available, and may allocate PUR resources to a user equipment (UE) based on requests from the UE. The UE may receive an indication that the base station supports PUR, such as via a system information block (SIB), determine to request PUR, and transmit a PUR request message to the base station. A PUR response from the base station may indicate a PUR allocation for the UE that may be used for uplink transmissions. Uplink transmissions that use PUR may be acknowledged by the base station based on a QOS associated with the uplink transmissions.
