Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may measure a frequency selectivity of a channel between the UE and a base station and may transmit signaling to the base station indicating one or both of a frequency selectivity metric or a recommended demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port multiplexing pattern based on measuring the frequency selectivity. In some aspects, the UE may transmit the signaling to assist the base station in configuring a DMRS port multiplexing pattern based on current channel conditions. For example, if the frequency selectivity metric satisfies a threshold, the UE may recommend a DMRS port multiplexing pattern absent of code division multiplexing (CDM). Alternatively, if the frequency selectivity metric fails to satisfy the threshold, the UE may recommend a DMRS port multiplexing patter including CDM.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a grant scheduling a downlink transmission of a set of configurable downlink transmissions. The downlink transmission may include reference slots corresponding to offset values associated with one or more feedback occasions. The UE may construct a feedback codebook based on a first quantity of slots in the set of configurable downlink transmissions, a second quantity of reference slots in the set of configurable downlink transmissions, and a third quantity of configurable offset values associated with one or more feedback occasions. Based on a size of the feedback codebook, the UE may generate feedback bits for reporting whether the UE successfully received a downlink transmission in corresponding slots. In some examples, the UE may identify a slot with a symbol reserved for an uplink transmission, and skip generating a corresponding feedback bit for the identified slot.

Abstract: Wireless communication techniques that include PTRS resource density recommendation and selection techniques are discussed. A UE may transmit to a base station a set of phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) resource density recommendations that are determined based, at least in part, on a block error rate (BLER). The base station may transmit to the UE an indication of PTRS resource densities to use for wireless communication of the PTRS based, at least in part, on the BLER associated with the received set of PTRS resource density recommendations. The base station and/or the UE may at least one of receive or transmit a PTRS based, at least in part, on the indicated PTRS resource densities. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for aggregating random access requests across two or more physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions. Poor channel quality may inhibit the receipt of random access requests, and for user equipments (UEs) located in areas with relatively poor coverage, such aggregated random access requests may have an increased likelihood of successful receipt at a base station. The base station may configure a number of PRACH occasions to be available for aggregation of random access requests. A UE may receive PRACH configuration information from the base station, may aggregate a random access request across two or more PRACH occasions using the PRACH configuration information, and may transmit the aggregated random access request via the PRACH occasions. The base station may also configure one or more PRACH occasions to have a smaller subcarrier spacing for transmission of a random access request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for time domain single carrier (SC) waveform communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may generate an SC waveform by resampling (e.g., up-sampling) mapped information bits prior to insertion of a cyclic prefix (CP) or guard interval (GI). Performing resampling prior to CP/GI insertion allows for resource allocation flexibility and a base station may allocate resources for the SC waveform in accordance with this flexibility. For example, a base station may not be limited or restricted to a certain number of resources for SC waveform communications and may therefore determine a resource allocation for the UE based on the capability of the UE to perform resampling prior to CP/GI insertion. The resampling may be performed according to a set of parameters including a resampling ratio, which may be indicated to the UE via control signaling (e.g., from the base station).

Abstract: A method of wireless communication may include transmitting an uplink slot with a first control region, a second control region, and (e.g., optionally) a data region. Each region may include time resources and frequency resources. Transmitting the uplink slot may include transmitting the first control region in an earlier part of the uplink slot and transmitting the second control region (e.g., and the data region) in a later part of the uplink slot. The first control region may include time-critical control information and the second control region may include non-time-critical control information. A receiver receiving the uplink slot may receive the first control region before receiving the data region and the second control region.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may identify, for an initial slot of a periodic interval, a number of symbols included in the initial slot and a length of cyclic prefixes used for the symbols included in the initial slot based on a subcarrier spacing that is configured for wireless communication. The length of a first set of cyclic prefixes may be based on a length of a cyclic prefix calculated for an initial symbol of the initial slot at the configured subcarrier spacing. The wireless device may perform communications based on the determined number of symbols and length of cyclic prefixes included in the initial slot. Performing communications may include allocating resources based on a length of the cyclic prefixes used for the symbols included in the initial slot.

Abstract: Subcarrier spacing (SCS) for data may be adapted or dynamically configured based on the occurrence or presence of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission. For example, during a SSB transmission, the SCS of data may be automatically switched from some default data SCS to a second SCS (e.g., the SCS of the SSB) to allow for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) of data and SSB where the data and SSB use the same numerology. As such, communicating devices (e.g., a base station and a user equipment (UE)) may identify some location or configuration for a SSB, and may determine a second subcarrier spacing (e.g., a subcarrier spacing associated with the SSB) such that the SCS of data may be adapted to the second subcarrier spacing during the FDM of the SSB and the data. The SSB and data may thus be contemporaneously transmitted or received using the second SCS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless systems, different wireless devices may communicate using different radio access technologies (RATs) in a shared radio frequency spectrum. Prior to communicating on a channel in the shared radio frequency spectrum, a wireless device may transmit a training field as part of a preamble in a transmission on the channel to reserve the channel for the transmission. As described herein, a training field transmitted by a wireless device using one RAT may be transmitted with an autocorrelation property associated with training fields of another RAT. As such, a wireless device configured to communicate using the other RAT may be able to receive and identify the training field (e.g., based on the autocorrelation property), and the wireless device may use the additional techniques described herein to determine an availability of the channel based on the training field.
