    Abstract: Random access channel access and validity procedures are disclosed. In one aspect, the medium access control (MAC) indications multiple random access occasions (ROs) to user equipments (UEs) for random access transmissions. In such aspect, random access failure would only be declared if listen before talk (LBT) procedures for the random access transmission fail on all of the ROs indicated by the MAC layer. Similarly, in additional aspects, a UE will not apply a backoff value for any LBT failures for random access attempts that occur within an LBT time window. In further aspects, a UE may determine the validity of ROs that overlap with a discovery reference signal measurement timing configuration (DMTC) window. In such aspects, the UE may not use overlapping ROs or may determine a portion of the DMTC window that is not used for base station transmissions and declare the overlapping ROs with the unused portion valid.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for flexible uplink transmission are provided. An example method may include receiving a configuration of resources for a PUCCH or a PUSCH associated with UCI, where the configuration of resources may be received from a network entity, where the UCI indicates a set of resources corresponding to a transmission in a first subset of resources associated with the PUSCH and a skipped transmission in a second subset of resources associated with the PUSCH or indicates an MCS for the PUSCH, where the UCI would overlap with an uplink transmission, where the set of resources may include the first subset of resources and the second subset of resources. The example method may further include transmitting at least one of the UCI or the uplink transmission to the network entity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first data message in a sub-slot of a slot and in a sub-channel of a sidelink data channel. The UE may select a resource of a sidelink feedback channel based on a first index associated with the slot and a second index associated with the sub-slot within one or more slots comprising the slot. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may select a resource of a sidelink feedback channel from periodic resources having a slot-based periodicity based on an index associated with the sub-slot within one or more slots comprising the slot. The UE may transmit a feedback message associated with the first data message according to the selected resource.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first reference signal (RS). The UE may identify a set of UE beams based at least in part on signal strengths of the first RS as measured via at least one UE beam of the set of UE beams. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the first RS, a report including an indication of a network node beam for communication with the UE, the indication based at least in part on a signal strength of the first RS using a first UE beam of the set of UE beams. The UE may receive a second RS using the set of UE beams. The UE may identify, based at least in part on the second RS, a second UE beam of the set of UE beams, identification based at least in part on a spectral efficiency associated with the second UE beam. The UE may communicate with the network node using the second UE beam. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for cellular communications. In one aspect, a UE determines an FFP of a cell signal for the UE in a frame based equipment mode, determines one or more SSB positions in the cell signal based on the FFP, and performs radio management of the UE based at least in part on the one or more invalid SSB candidate positions. Performing radio management may include using one or more SSB positions in the FFP exclusive of the one or more invalid SSB candidate positions. Radio management may include PDSCH rate matching, radio link monitoring or measurement, or radio resource management. In some implementations, the one or more SSB positions are SSB positions after a first eight SSB positions in an FFP. In some other implementations, the one or more SSB positions are SSB positions that at least partially overlap an idle period between FFPs.
