    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for receiving, by a network entity from a user equipment (UE), a component carrier/bandwidth portion (CC/BWP) grouping capability message that indicates a capability of the UE to support CC/BWP group-based signaling; transmitting, by the network entity to the UE, a CC/BWP grouping indication that identifies at least one CC/BWP group based on the CC/BWP grouping capability message; transmitting, by the network entity to the UE, a CC/BWP configuration message that includes CC/BWP group configuration information that identifies a CC/BWP group configuration for the at least one CC/BWP group; communicating, by the network entity with the UE, on at least one CC/BWP of the at least one CC/BWP group based on one or more communication parameters configured according to the CC/BWP group configuration.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications provide for identification of multiple antenna panels at a user equipment (UE), and determination of panel-specific capabilities for the multiple antenna panels. A UE may determine whether simultaneous communications using two or more antenna panels is supported. The UE may determine that simultaneous communications using two or more antenna panels is supported based on a predetermined rule that indicates such simultaneous communications are supported or unsupported. Whether simultaneous communications on multiple panels is supported may be dependent upon a capability of the UE. The UE may transmit panel-specific capabilities to the base station, that may be used by the base station for subsequent communications between the UE and the base station.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify, based at least in part on monitoring a set of channels for signals during a monitoring window, a subset of channels in which signals were detected during the monitoring window. The UE may select, based at least in part on the subset of channels, a format for a first sub-codebook and a second sub-codebook, the second sub-codebook indicating a feedback state for corresponding data transmissions received on the channels within the subset of channels. The UE may transmit the first uplink control message using a first sub-codebook, the first uplink control message identifying the format for the second sub-codebook and identifying the channels within the subset of channels. The UE may transmit a second uplink control message using the second sub-codebook according to the selected format.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for limiting a number of active beams available for communications between a user equipment (UE) and a base station (e.g., to limit the complexity at the UE). In one example, transmission configuration indication (TCI) states may correspond to active beams available for downlink reception that are identified based on configured quasi co-location (QCL) relationships and active QCL assumptions (i.e., the TCI states may include configured QCL relationships and QCL assumptions). Because the TCI states may include configured QCL relationships and active QCL assumptions, the number of active beams available for communications between a UE and a base station may be limited by the number of active TCI states (e.g., where the number of active TCI states may be determined based on a UE capability).

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing beam failure recovery operations. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes selecting a priority associated with an uplink (UL) control channel for indicating a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ), detecting that the UL control channel is scheduled for transmission using first resources at least partially overlapped with second resources scheduled for transmission of another UL signal, determining, in response to the detection, whether to transmit the UL control channel based on the priority associated with the UL control channel, and transmitting or dropping the UL control channel in accordance with the determination.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam management for make-before-break (MBB) handover. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes establishing a first cell connection with a first base station (BS) while maintaining an existing second cell connection with a second BS, and determining that a first transmission time of a first signal transmitted by the first BS is less than a threshold time duration from a second transmission time of a second signal transmitted by the second BS. In some examples, the first signal is associated with one or more first communication metrics and the second signal is associated with one or more second communication metrics, wherein each of the one or more first communication metrics and the one or more second communication metrics comprise one or more quality of service (QoS) metrics.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first base station may transmit a request for a user equipment (UE) to provide a physical layer report for a second base station. The second base station may be a base station of a dual connectivity configuration, a deactivated base station of the carrier aggregation configuration, or a non-serving base station of the UE. The UE may measure transmissions of the second base station and generate, at the physical layer of the UE, a physical layer report based on the measurements. The UE may transmit the physical layer report to the first base station.
