    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) ordered random access channel (RACH) procedure. The RACH procedure may be associated with a cell-defining synchronization signal block (SSB) or non-cell-defining SSB. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting an indication of one or more capabilities of the UE, receiving a PDCCH that orders the UE to perform a RACH procedure on an uplink carrier based on the one or more capabilities of the UE, determining a minimum gap between a last symbol of the PDCCH and a first symbol of a RACH message, wherein the minimum gap includes a half-duplex (HD) switching delay, and performing the RACH procedure on the uplink carrier when a gap between the last symbol of the PDCCH and the first symbol of the RACH message is equal to or larger than the minimum gap.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a starting symbol of a radio frequency (RF) retuning gap between a first plurality of repetitions of an uplink transmission in a first frequency hop and a second plurality of repetitions of the uplink transmission in a second frequency hop. The starting symbol of the RF retuning gap is based at least in part on a starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions and a quantity of symbols included in the RF retuning gap. The UE may determine an ending symbol of the RF retuning gap based at least in part on the starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions. The UE may perform RF retuning during the RF retuning gap. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Idle discontinuous reception (I-DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) may be extended via leveraging of paging assistance from a second UE. For example, a low complexity UE may have a connection to a network (e.g., via a link to a base station) as well as a connection to another UE (e.g., via a device-to-device link to a regular UE). In cases where such a low complexity UE receives paging messages from the network, a UE associated with a device-to-device link of the low complexity UE may monitor paging messages on behalf of the low complexity UE. As such, the low complexity UE may extend its I-DRX cycle, as the assisting UE monitors paging information for the low complexity UE. The assisting UE may forward paging information for the low complexity UE according to paging occasions of the extended I-DRX cycle of the low complexity UE.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication at a wireless device of a wireless wearable device. In one aspect, the wireless device may transmit a first report based on one of a location of the wireless wearable device, a time period, or reception of a user-controlled indication to transmit the first report. The wireless device may also receive, based on the transmitted first report, a configuration to switch from a first mode to a second mode. In some aspects, the configuration can include at least one parameter associated with a power savings at the wireless wearable device while in the second mode. Additionally, the wireless device can operate based on the at least one parameter while in the second mode.

    Abstract: In an aspect, a wireless node (e.g., UE, gNB) performs a partial measurement of a measurement type (e.g., RSTD, Rx-Tx, etc.) of a reference signal for positioning (RS-P) resource (e.g., PRS, SRS) that includes multiple symbols, the partial measurement being measured across a subset of the multiple symbols. The wireless node transmits a measurement report that includes an indication of the first partial measurement. The communications device receives the measurement report, and determines whether a spoofing attack is associated with the RS-P based at least in part upon the measurement report.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for assisting a user equipment (UE) with balancing quality of service (QoS) requirements (such as access latency or reliability requirements) and consumption of high priority network resources (such as for load balancing) when transmitting a random access message (RAM) in a two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure. As a result, the UE may be capable of satisfying QoS requirements for the RAM while reducing an impact of transmission of the RAM on other uplink transmissions. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein assist a UE with prioritizing portions of the RAM in different UE operating modes, such as a dual connectivity mode, a carrier aggregation mode, or a supplemental uplink mode. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein employ cross-carrier scheduling, dynamic power sharing, or dynamic power control to achieve these and other performance improvements.

    Abstract: Some aspects described herein relate to receiving, from a base station, a configuration to transmit uplink signaling to the base station, determining, based on the configuration, to setup a group for sidelink communication with one or more other user equipments (UEs), transmitting, based on determining to setup the group, a first uplink message based on the configuration from the base station, and receiving, from the one or more other UEs, a second uplink message based on the configuration to indicate setup of the group. Some aspects described herein also relate to conflict avoidance between sidelink and uplink/downlink communications.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may receive a configuration for a first random access message of a two-step random access channel procedure. The wireless device may select a subcarrier spacing and a number of demodulation reference signal occurrences for transmitting the first random access message based at least in part on the configuration and a speed of the wireless device. The wireless device may transmit the first random access message of the two-step random access channel procedure using the subcarrier spacing and the number of demodulation reference signal occurrences.
