Abstract: The present disclosure enables a base station to group UEs based on similar PMIs for a combined transmission. The apparatus may receive a plurality of PMIs from a plurality of UEs. In one aspect, each PMI in the plurality of PMIs may be received from a different UE. The apparatus may also assign each UE of the plurality of UEs to a UE group. In another aspect, each UE group may be associated with a different PMI set in a plurality of PMI sets. The apparatus may further assign a transmission scheme to each UE group. In one configuration, the apparatus may determine one or more preferred spatial layers for each UE (e.g., based on the PMIs) assigned to a UE group, and schedule a combined transmission for the UE group based on the determined one or more spatial layers.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may be used to help enable low latency communications between a user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) using quick uplink channels that enable a reduced transmission time interval (TTI). An example method generally includes identifying a plurality of slots in a subframe, receiving a resource configuration for an uplink channel, wherein the resource configuration is associated with a first slot of the plurality of slots, determining a resource for transmitting the uplink channel in a second slot of the plurality of slots, wherein the resource is determined based on the resource configuration associated with the first slot of the plurality of slots, and transmitting the uplink channel in the second slot using the determined resource.

Abstract: Due to the limited dimension of a NB that may be used by multiple users, as well as possible large coverage areas, timing offset estimation may be outside of NCP. The inaccuracy in the timing estimate can be improved by using more than one tone hopping distance for PRACH. An apparatus may then transmit a first and second tone of the PRACH at a first hopping distance from the first tone. The apparatus may then transmit a third tone of the PRACH and a fourth tone of the PRACH at a second hopping distance from the third tone. The second hopping distance may be greater than first hopping distance. The apparatus may also transmit an additional tone of the PRACH using a random hopping distance. A receiving apparatus may receive the transmitted PRACH and determine a phase estimation based on the sets of tones having different hopping distances.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for wireless communications by a base station and a user equipment in a network. An exemplary method generally includes performing a discovery procedure to identify one or more devices through which the UE may indirectly communicate with a base station in the network and deciding based on one or more criteria whether to communicate with the base station directly or to communicate with the base station indirectly via a device identified by the discovery procedure. According to certain aspects, when a UE is in communication with a network indirectly, the network might page the UE directly, indirectly, or both.

Abstract: Half-duplex (HD) operations enable low cost implementations of LTE terminals. Traditionally, HD operations may be linked to a particular frequency band which may not allow a mix of full-duplex (FD) and HD terminals in the same frequency band. Therefore, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enabling coexistence, in a given frequency band, of HD and FD terminals, by introducing frequency bands designated for HD operation and overlapping existing frequency bands designated for FD operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to various scheduling procedures for wireless communications. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may estimate transmission power used over a duration for tracking a specific absorption rate (SAR) and may indicate the estimated transmission power to a network. The network may schedule the UE based on the estimated transmission power. In some implementations, the UE may receive a control message that includes an uplink grant and an indication to skip monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a discontinuous reception cycle (DRX) on-duration. The UE may transmit a message to accept, partially accept, or reject the skipping of PDCCH monitoring. In some implementations, the UE may be configured for multiple user, multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) communications with other UEs. The UE may receive a message that indicates parameters of the other UEs.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, configuration information indicative of an enhanced hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) configuration associated with initial physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communications. The UE may receive, from the network node, a re-transmission of an initial PDCCH communication. The UE may identify a failure of the UE to receive the initial PDCCH communication. The UE may transmit, to the network node in association with the configuration information, enhanced HARQ ACK/NACK information indicative of the failure of the UE to receive the initial PDCCH communication. Numerous other aspects are described.
