    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for a beam-aware handover procedure for multi-beam access systems. A source base station may determine that a handover request is to be sent to a target base station in preparation for handover of a user equipment (UE) from the source base station to the target base station, and transmit the handover request to the target base station with an indication of whether the handover is to be delayed. Alternatively or in addition to, either the target base station or the source base station may generate and transmit a time expiration indicator. The indication of whether the handover is to be delayed or the time expiration indicator may allow either the target base station or the UE to determine whether access parameters for the UE are valid.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide procedures for new radio (NR) cell measurement. According to certain aspects, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving one or more downlink signals from a cell, wherein the cell is of a first cell type that supports a first set of functions or a second cell type that supports a second set of functions, wherein the second set of functions is different than the first set of functions; determining a cell type of the cell based on the one or more downlink signals; and communicating with the cell based on the determination.

    Abstract: Methods implemented by a processor in a wireless device for detecting the presence in a network of a jammer or non-benign entity that targets physical layer channels in a communication network are disclosed. Various embodiments may determine a first signal measurement quantity based on a first physical layer communication, determine a second signal measurement quantity based on a second physical layer communication, determine a difference between the first signal measurement quantity and the second signal measurement quantity, determine whether the difference between the first signal measurement quantity and the second signal measurement quantity satisfies a threshold, determine whether a jammer or non-benign entity is present in the network in response to determining that the difference between the first signal measurement quantity and the second signal measurement quantity satisfies the threshold, and perform a mitigation operation in response to determining that a jammer or non-benign entity is present in the network.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) message including an indication to enable discontinuous monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE may enable the discontinuous monitoring of the PDCCH based on the received DCI message, and disable monitoring of the PDCCH during a temporal period in which at least one of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception, downlink reference signal monitoring, uplink reference signal transmissions, and channel reporting is enabled. The UE may thereby experience power saving by disabling monitoring of the PDCCH while still performing other wireless operations during the temporal period. The UE may, as a result, also include features for improvements to wireless communications and, in some examples, may promote high reliability and low latency wireless communications, among other benefits.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Private keys may be maintained upstream in a network at a more secure location. For example, when a signature is needed, a base station may transmit a signing request to a signing function within the core network and may transmit system information (SI) to be protected. The signing function may use a private key to generate a signature for the SI and returns the signature to the base station. The base station may transmit the SI and the signature to user equipment (UEs) within a coverage area of the base station. The UEs may obtain a public key corresponding to the private key and may use the public key to verify that the signature for the SI is valid and from the base station. The public key, and hence the signature, may correspond to a particular tracking area.
