    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify time and frequency resources for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) in a first transmission time interval (TTI). The base station may transmit configuration information for a control channel search space set in a second TTI. The second TTI may precede the first TTI. The configuration information may include an indication of an absence of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission to send in the control channel search space set indicating the identified time and frequency resources for the PDSCH, and a set of time and frequency resources for the control channel search space set. The UE may receive the configuration information and identify the time and frequency resources allocated for the PDSCH in the second TTI, and receive the PDSCH transmission in the second TTI.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to reusing long-term evolution (LTE) resources in a nested network system are provided. A first wireless communication device receives, from a second wireless communication device, a reference signal configuration of a first network of a long-term evolution (LTE) radio access technology (RAT). The first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device are associated with a second network of another RAT. The first wireless communication device receives, from the second wireless communication device, a communication signal in the second network based on the reference signal configuration of the first network. The reference signal configuration indicates at least one of a frequency tone of a reference signal of the first network, a time period of the reference signal of the first network, or a number of antenna ports associated with the reference signal of the first network.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications provide for transmission of a beam switch command to a user equipment (UE) via control channel signaling. The UE may establish a connection with a base station using a first transmission beam, receive configuration information configuring the UE to select between a first decoding hypothesis corresponding to downlink control information (DCI) including a bit field including a beam switch command and a second decoding hypothesis corresponding to the DCI not including the bit field, receive a downlink control channel transmission via the first transmission beam, decode the downlink control channel transmission in accordance with the configuration information to obtain decoded DCI, and communicate with the base station based at least in part on the decoded DCI.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may communicate with a user equipment (UE) using multiple antennas. Data streams may be mapped to the antennas using antenna ports. In some cases, a base station may transmit a transmission configuration indication (TCI) to a UE to indicate quasi co-location (QCL) relationships between antenna ports used for downlink communication with a UE. The UE may use these QCL relationships to identify appropriate techniques for decoding a downlink transmission from the base station. In some cases, it may be appropriate for a base station to update one or more TCI states configured for indicating, to a UE, QCL relationships between antenna ports used for downlink communication with the UE. As described herein, a base station may support techniques for dynamically updating such TCI states (e.g., via downlink control information (DCI) signaling).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit control information to a user equipment (UE) in a control resource set (coreset) of a transmission time interval (TTI). As described herein, the base station may transmit common control information in a common search space (CSS) of the coreset and a UE-specific control information in a UE-specific search space (USS) of the same coreset. In addition, the base station may transmit reference signals in the coreset to allow the UE to perform channel estimation to correctly decode or demodulate the control information in the CSS and USS of the coreset. In some examples, the reference signals transmitted in the CSS and USS of the coreset may include a common sequence for the coreset.

    Abstract: Some wireless communication systems may operate in frequency ranges that are associated with beamformed transmissions between wireless devices. In such systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to monitor physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on multiple beam pair links. In order to decode relevant downlink control information (DCI), a UE may perform multiple blind decodes on a control region of a downlink transmission. Blind decoding may be resource-intensive (e.g., computationally complex, energy consuming, etc.), but some systems may be efficiently designed to support the desired PDCCH monitoring via multiple beam pair links without significantly increasing the number of blind decodes at the UE. Aspects of such a design may include non-uniform candidate restriction, beam pair link-specific search spaces, and random control channel element (CCE) mapping across a candidate search space.
