    Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure disclose methods and systems related to the use of a periodic reference signal to activate a secondary cell. For example, a user equipment may receive, from a base station on a primary cell, an activation command configured to activate a secondary cell. The user equipment may also receive, from the base station and on the primary cell, a signal indicating an availability of a periodic reference signal on the secondary cell, the periodic RS being for use in activating the secondary cell. The user equipment may then, in response to receiving the signal, perform a tracking function to activate the secondary cell.

    Abstract: A shared control region is provided for enhanced dynamic spectrum sharing between a first radio access technology (e.g., LTE) and a second radio access technology (e.g., NR). The shared control region is resource element mapped according to a resource element mapping for the first radio access technology (RAT) and includes pilot signals for the first RAT. The shared control region also includes control information for a user equipment in the second RAT.

    Abstract: Mechanisms for rate matching a downlink communication channel in a multi-radio access technology (RAT) communication scenario are described. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication performed by a base station (BS) includes rate matching, based on a rate matching pattern indicating a plurality of reserved resource elements, a downlink (DL) communication channel. The method further includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) on one or more antenna ports, a DL communication in the rate matched DL communication channel. The method further includes transmitting, on the one or more antenna ports, one or more signals in the plurality of reserved resource elements. The one or more signals transmitted in the plurality of reserved resource elements may allow UEs associated with other RATs to estimate the rate matched DL communication channel.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a broadcast or a multicast (broadcast/multicast) scheduling configuration for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the broadcast/multicast scheduling configuration identifying, for receiving broadcast/multicast communications, at least one of: a plurality of radio network temporary identifiers that are respectively associated with a plurality of beams, or one or more bandwidth parts. The UE may receive a broadcast/multicast communication associated with a broadcast/multicast control channel or a broadcast/multicast traffic channel via a physical downlink shared channel in accordance with the broadcast/multicast scheduling configuration for the PDCCH. Numerous other aspects are provided.
