Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for adjusting timing advance command parameters for specific beam pair links (BPLs) in a wireless communications system. In some cases, a base station may determine that transmission timing at a UE may be misaligned. The may send a timing advance (TA) command for the BPL. A UE may utilize more than one BPL, and may switch communications from a first BPL to second BPL. The second BPL may have a different timing misalignment than the first BPL, and the TA command sent by the base station may be insufficient to correct the timing misalignment of the second BPL. The base station may adjust the TA command parameters (e.g., TA command size or TA command granularity) so that the timing misalignment of the second BPL may be corrected.

Abstract: A network node of a communication network may determine that a target transmission power for a subsequent transmission by the network node is no longer optimal. In response to the determination, the network node may autonomously modify one or more parameters of the subsequent transmission, from a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and/or a set resources for the subsequent transmission. The network node may then transmit a channel, based at least in part on the one or more modified parameters, to a target network node in the subsequent transmission. The target network node may determine that the network node has autonomously modified the one or more parameters of the transmission, from the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and/or the set resources for the transmission. The target network node may process the transmission based on the determination.

Abstract: When a first node is subject to a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) condition, it may be beneficial for the first node to signal, to a second node, an uplink beam to be used for communications and/or one or more properties of the uplink beam. For example, the first node may signal a downlink beam, from a first reciprocal beam pair, and an uplink beam, from a second reciprocal beam pair, to be used for communications, and/or may signal one or more properties of the uplink beam and/or the downlink beam. Additionally, or alternatively, the second node may transmit, to the first node, a signaling state (e.g., a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state) that indicates properties to be used to configure an uplink beam and/or a downlink beam. In this way, the first node and the second node may configure beams in a manner that accounts for MPE limitations.

Abstract: When beamforming (e.g., via a millimeter wave system (mmW)) is used for wireless communication, a base station may transmit beams that are directed to certain directions. Due to the directional nature of the beams in the mmW system, an approach to determine a beam that provides a desirable gain is studied. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The apparatus receives, from a base station, a plurality of signals through a plurality of beams of the base station, each of the plurality of beams corresponding to a respective antenna port of a plurality of antenna ports of the base station. The apparatus performs channel estimation for each beam of the plurality of beams from the plurality of antenna ports based on the plurality of signals. The apparatus transmits, to the base station, a feedback signal including information about one or more beams selected from the plurality of beams, the feedback signal further including one or more candidate uplink precoders.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. In one method, a user equipment (UE) receives a timing synchronization signal (TSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), with the TSS based at least in part on a timing of the TSS within a broadcast channel transmission time interval (BCH TTI); determines the timing of the TSS within the BCH TTI; and demodulates the PBCH based at least in part on the TSS. In another method, a base station allocates resources for a TSS and a PBCH within a BCH TTI; determines the TSS based at least in part on a timing of the TSS within the BCH TTI; and transmits, on the resources allocated for the TSS and the PBCH, the TSS and the PBCH, with the TSS transmitted as a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PBCH on at least one port used to transmit the TSS and the PBCH.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Beams used for synchronization signals may be associated with beams used for reference signals. For example, a base station may identify a first set of millimeter wave (mmW) communication beams to transmit a synchronization signal. The base station may transmit the synchronization signal and identify a second set of mmW communication beams to transmit a reference signal, where the second set of mmW communication beams may be associated with the first set of beams. For instance, the first set and second set of mmW communication beams may be the same or similar. The base station may then transmit the reference signal on the second set of mmW communication beams. A user equipment may in turn identify the first and second sets of beams as being associated, and receive the reference signal on the second set of mmW communication beams.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for selecting different uplink transmission parameters for transmission or retransmission of a random access message. A user equipment (UE) may retransmit a random access message to a base station during a random access procedure if an initial transmission of the random access message was unsuccessfully received by the base station. The UE may select a different transmission beam, uplink resource, or transmission power for retransmission of the random access message. The selection may be based on path loss associated with synchronization signals or previous transmissions. The selection may also be based on a maximum number of retransmissions.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with D2D relay link selection in a LTE based access network. In one example, a communications device is equipped to determine that the communications device (e.g., a UE) is able to establish a relay link with a candidate UE based on at least one of information associated with any preexisting access links with the candidate UE, information associated with any preexisting accessing links within a threshold vicinity of the UE or the candidate UE, or any other UE UL interference, determine that the candidate UE is able to support the relay link based on information associated with preexisting access links for the candidate UE, and perform a link establishment process for the relay link with the candidate UE based on the determinations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a number of beam directions that satisfy a transmission power condition. The UE may select a beam direction for a random access signal by choosing one of the beam directions that satisfies additional criteria, such as transmitting a random access message at the next opportunity. The transmission power may be selected based on a target receive power and a path loss for the selected beam. In some cases, if the sum of the path loss for a beam direction and the target receive power exceeds a maximum transmission power by more than a predetermined amount, the random access signal will not be transmitted using that beam. In some cases, if a response to the random access is not received, a different beam direction may be selected, the transmission power may be increased, or both.
