    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a discovery signal transmitted from a connection point (CP) via a directional beam. The discovery signal may include first information (including beam sweep configuration information) related to the CP. The apparatus then transmits an association signal to the CP based on the beam sweep configuration information and monitors for a resource grant from the CP based on the transmitted association signal. Alternatively, the apparatus transmits a discovery signal via a directional beam to a user equipment (UE). The discovery signal may include first information (including beam sweep configuration information) related to the apparatus. The apparatus then receives an association signal from the UE based on the beam sweep configuration information and determines a resource grant for communicating with the UE based on the received association signal.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine a resource allocation, from a resource set, for a response message using a resource allocation selection procedure. In some aspects, the user equipment may transmit the response message using the resource allocation and based at least in part on determining the resource allocation. In some aspects, the user equipment may determine, using an implicit resource mapping procedure and before a radio resource control connection establishment, a resource allocation for a redundancy scheme response message based at least in part on a remaining minimum system information (RMSI) value. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Wireless communication devices are adapted to facilitate non-orthogonal underlay transmissions. In one example, devices can receive a wireless transmission on a particular time and frequency resource including a first signal from a first wireless device and a second signal from a second wireless device. The first signal may utilize a first type of modulation for orthogonal wireless communication, and the second signal may utilize a second type of modulation non-orthogonal to the first type of modulation. The wireless communication device can decode the first and second signals. In another example, devices may transmit a first signal utilizing a first type of modulation over a time and frequency resource scheduled for a second signal from a second wireless communication device, the second signal utilizing a second type of modulation for orthogonal wireless communication, where the first type of modulation is non-orthogonal with the second type of modulation. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for transmitting and processing reference signals for positioning estimation over a multipath multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel. In aspects, a first node configures first and second reference signal resource sets for transmission of first and second sets of reference signals, wherein the first and second reference signal resource sets occur on first and second subbands of, and/or during first and second time intervals on, the MIMO channel, wherein each reference signal resource in the first and second reference signal resource sets utilize at least first and second MIMO precoders, and transmits, to a second node over the MIMO channel, the first and second sets of reference signals, wherein the first node transmits the first and second sets of reference signals to assist the second node to perform a positioning measurement based on joint processing of the first and second sets of reference signals.
