    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a configuration message from a base station for supporting random access channel (RACH) type selection by the UE. The configuration message may include one or more reference signals and one or more link quality thresholds corresponding to the one or more reference signals. The UE may generate measurements of the reference signals and determine link quality for communications between the UE and the base station based on the measurements. Based on a comparison between the link quality to corresponding link quality thresholds, the UE may select a two-step random access procedure, a four-step random access procedure, or both for establishing a connection with the base station. In some cases, the UE considers system loading information, transmission parameters, or random access rules in selecting the random access procedure.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring parameters for small data transfer (SDT) transmissions. One example technique provides a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), involving: obtaining configuration information received from a network entity, the configuration information indicating a plurality of configurations for small data transfer (SDT) transmission, determining at least one of a transport block size (TBS) or data threshold for SDT transmission based on one of the configurations, and outputting for transmission one or more SDT transmissions based on the determination.

    Abstract: Aspects provide for wireless communication between a UE and a radio access network (RAN) node in a wireless communication network. The RAN node may generate a re-synchronization signal (RSS) for a bandwidth part (BWP) of a plurality of BWPs and transmit the RSS in the BWP of a downlink to the UE. A first bandwidth of the RSS may be based on a second bandwidth of the BWP. The UE may receive the RSS in different RRC states and perform a measurement of the RSS for synchronization, for an early detection of a paging or wake-up signal, and/or for radio resource management (RRM) measurements or radio link monitoring (RLM) measurements. The UE may utilize a communication link with the RAN node based on the measurement and the RAN node may utilize the communication link to communicate with a group of UEs sharing at least one same RSS beam.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may request to change its radio resource control (RRC) parameters by transmitting a UE assistance information message to a base station. However, the existing RRC parameters that a UE may request to change via a UE assistance information message may not be inadequate for some UEs and may cause a high signaling overhead. The aspects described herein include an apparatus that obtains configuration information for a UE assistance information message, the configuration information indicating a set of parameters the apparatus is allowed to indicate in the UE assistance information message, the set of parameters including at least one of an operation complexity control parameter, a network coverage control parameter, or a channel monitoring control parameter. The apparatus transmits the UE assistance information message, wherein the UE assistance information message is based on at least a portion of the set of parameters.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to various apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for providing or utilizing initial acquisition parameters for reduced-capability wireless user equipment (UEs). In one example, a wireless base station may transmit a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), with at least one of those SSBs being designated for a set of reduced-capability UEs. The base station may further transmit a plurality of control resource sets with at least one of those control resource sets being designated for the set of reduced-capability UEs. In another example, the base station may transmit a shared SSB/control resource set configured for compatibility with both legacy UEs and reduced-capability UEs. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
