    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for training a beam for multiple component carriers (CCs) for concurrent communications in a wireless communications system associated with limited user equipment (UE) capabilities. The UE receives, via a first receive beam, a first reference signal on a group of CCs over a first symbol. The UE also receives, via a second receive beam, a second reference signal on the group of CCs over a second symbol. The UE selects a receive beam for a subsequent communication based on determining a value of a parameter for each of the first and the second receive beam.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one example, a first user equipment (UE) identifies a trigger condition associated with a first communication link with a base station and establishes a second communication link with a second UE. The UE may transmit a relay request to the second UE based on the trigger condition, wherein the relay request instructs the second UE to relay communications for the first UE. The first UE communicates with the base station via the second communication link. In another example, a base station establishes communication links with a first and second UE. The base station receives a data forwarding request that instructs the base station to use the second UE to relay communications between it and the first UE. The base station communicates with the first UE via the second communication link based at least in part on the relay request.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support power control in full duplex communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may experience antenna isolation for communication of downlink and uplink data traffic. Based on the antenna isolation, the UE may realize an increased channel capacity for full-duplex communication. As part of the full-duplex communication, the UE may identify characteristics of a potential downlink signal on formatted slots of the channel. The UE may determine an uplink transmit power control configured to account for the characteristics. The determination may include a configured transmit power control for beamformed signaling at the UE, and may be based on signal reception quality for potential downlink transmissions. Based on the determination, the UE may either perform uplink transmission on a resource block allocation of the formatted slots or forgo uplink transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Sidelink UEs may be configured with a synchronization reference signal that may be used by the UEs to synchronize time and frequency resources. A first and second UE may perform a beam sweeping procedure to identify transmit and receive beams to use for communications between the UEs. A synchronization reference signal procedure may be initiated and the first UE may receive a sidelink synchronization reference signal from the second UE using the established receive beam. The UEs may align time and frequency resources for communications between the UEs and the UEs may communicate via the sidelink channel based on the time synchronization, frequency synchronization, or both, determined using the sidelink synchronization signal. In some cases, a sidelink UE may receive multiple synchronization reference signals from multiple sidelink UEs simultaneously, where each synchronization reference signal may include a UE identifier.
