Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to determine a priority indicator for an upcoming transmission between the UE and a base station and transmit the priority indicator to the base station. The base station may receive the priority indicator, determine a network condition, and may transmit control information for a downlink transmission. The control information may include an indication of a set of modulation and coding schemes to select from a plurality of sets of modulation and coding schemes and an index value for an entry in the selected set of modulation and coding scheme, where the indication is based on the priority indicator and a network condition. The UE may identify a combination of a modulation order and a code rate for the downlink transmission based on the indication of modulation and coding scheme table and the index value.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first search space set, and may identify, based at least in part on the first search space set, physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) schedule information included in a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) received from a base station (BS). The UE may identify, based at least in part on the PDSCH schedule information, a second search space set included in a PDSCH received from the BS. The second search space set may include information identifying an aggregation level (AL) and one or more PDCCH candidate locations that are associated with the AL. The UE may configure, based at least in part on the AL and the one or more PDCCH candidate locations, the UE to identify a second PDCCH transmitted from the BS. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, wireless devices may implement adjusted fractally enhanced kernel polar coding. An encoder may receive a number of information bits and a block size for transmission, and may append an additional number of information bits to the information bits for transmission. The encoder may perform a recursive bit allocation process to allocate the aggregate set of information bits between a set of sub-blocks based on mutual information metrics. To obtain the correct number of information bits and block size, the encoder may remove a number of information bits equal to the number of appended additional bits (e.g., from a first half of the sub-blocks), assign the remaining information bits to bit channels in each sub-block, and block puncture a set of bits (e.g., from the first half). The resulting codeword may mitigate occurrences of achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) spikes.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiple access (MA) signatures may be used in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmissions to provide differentiation between multiple concurrent NOMA transmission that use common time, frequency, and spatial resources. Systematic extension of the pool size of MA signatures can be obtained by the grouping of UE-specific spreading codes and the application of group-specific scrambling code, where the generation of scrambling code can depend at least on a cell ID and UE group ID. The MA signature may be based at least in part on a UE specific spreading code and a group level scrambling code. The UE-specific spreading code may be one of a set of codes associated with a particular scrambling code. The scrambling code may be one of a number of orthogonal or non-orthogonal scrambling codes that are associated with one or more UE parameters.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Efficient low-density parity-check (LDPC) scheduling of layered decoding may include receiving a message encoded as an LDPC code that includes a number of check nodes and a number of bit nodes, applying a first number of decoding iterations to decoding the message, applying a second number of decoding iterations to decoding the message after the first number of decoding iterations are applied, and decoding the message through completion of both the first number of decoding iterations and the second number of decoding iterations. In some cases, only a portion of the number of check nodes is decoded during each of the first number of decoding iterations and all of the number of check nodes are decoded during each of the second number of decoding iterations.

Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. In one configuration, the apparatus transmits a first broadcast signal including information indicating an intention to use a unicast resource for a broadcast. In addition, the apparatus transmits a second broadcast signal in the unicast resource. In another configuration, the apparatus, which is a first wireless device, receives a first broadcast signal from a second wireless device including information indicating an intention to use a unicast resource for a broadcast. In addition, the apparatus receives a first scheduling signal from the second wireless device in a scheduling resource. The first scheduling signal is for indicating a second intention to use the unicast resource for transmitting a second broadcast signal. Furthermore, the apparatus refrains from transmitting a second scheduling signal in the scheduling resource in response to the first scheduling signal.

Examples of a power optimization procedures include a single or multi-level hardware shut down procedure, lowering the clock rate of hardware, and shutting down a communication bus during periods of non-use.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting dedicated short range communications (DSRC) transmissions to determine whether to use at least a portion of the DSRC spectrum. In one embodiment, a multi-mode device may be operated outside of the DSRC spectrum using a first clock rate, and may then be switched to a second clock rate while operating outside of the DSRC spectrum to detect DSRC transmissions using the DSRC spectrum.
Abstract:
Fallback procedures for user equipments (UEs) are described that provide efficient fallback to a four-step random access procedure from a two-step random access procedure. For example, after transmitting a first message of a two-step random access procedure, a UE may start a fallback timer or counter and monitor for a second message of the two-step random access procedure for the duration of the fallback timer or counter. At the expiration of the fallback timer or counter, the UE may fall back to a four-step random access procedure. In some cases, the UE may transmit multiple repetitions of the first message and monitor for responses after transmitting the repetitions or after each repetition. Additionally, or alternatively, the base station may transmit an explicit signal to the UE that may signal to the UE to perform a fallback procedure at a beginning or middle of a random access procedure.
