Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access message to a wireless node using multiple symbols. The random access message may include repetitions of a random access sequence weighted by a spreading code. For example, a random access sequence may be weighted using different elements of the spreading code, where a first repetition may be weighted with a first element and a second repetition may be weighted using a second element. The weighted random access signals may be spread over multiple symbols and transmitted to the wireless node as the random access message. In some cases, a spreading code may include values of one and negative one, may be based on rows of a Hadamard matrix, or may correspond to a number of symbols used to transmit the random access message.

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: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may identify a set of power configurations for a plurality of communications with at least one target device. The set of power configurations may be based at least in part on a type of signal, a type of channel, a parameter of the wireless device, a parameter of the target device, or a combination thereof. The wireless device may then determine a duplexing mode for the plurality of communications based at least in part on the set of power configurations. The duplexing mode may be, for example, a full duplex mode or a half-duplex mode. The wireless device may then transmit the plurality of communications to and/or receive the plurality of communications from the at least one target device according to the set of power configurations and the selected duplexing mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein remedy thermal constraints experienced by wireless communication systems operating in the millimeter wave spectrum. User equipment (UE) having a plurality of antenna subarrays controlled by respective RFICs monitor temperature gradients of respective sectors of the UE. Upon the thermal gradient of a sector reaching a temperature threshold, the UE performs thermal management steps to prevent hardware of a respective sector from damage due to overshoot.

Abstract: High frequency wireless communication networks rely on directional transmit and receive beams to achieve large gains and overcome large pathlosses associated with high frequency signals. With highly directional signals, link failure may occur. Network nodes associated with the link failure, may need to identify new beam pairs and establish a new link as quickly as possible. In several aspects, beam sweep procedures are expedited, allowing for rapid link reestablishment. Disclosed techniques allow for rapid link reestablishment with and without beam correspondence.

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: A user equipment (UE) may determine that a synchronous transmission by the UE includes traffic having a priority higher than a priority of nominal traffic. In response to the determination, the UE may, alter a use of at least some of an initial portion of a discovery frame from energy detection to signal transmission. The signal transmission may be a pilot signal transmission or a non-information-carrying signal transmission. The traffic having the priority higher than the nominal traffic may include mission-critical traffic. A reliability requirement of mission-critical traffic may be higher than a reliability requirement of nominal traffic. A latency requirement of mission-critical traffic may be lower than a latency requirement of nominal traffic. The signal transmission may be at a power level that is sufficient to result in energy detection at another UE. Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein.
