Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may support both access links and sidelinks (e.g., D2D communication links) for communications between one or more communication devices. Wireless devices may communicate sidelink control information in two stages, where first stage sidelink control information (SCI-1) may be transmitted via a physical sidelink channel and second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2) may be transmitted via a physical shared channel. In cases where sidelink communications use several (e.g., three or more) layers, the described layer mapping techniques may provide for robust transmission of control information, higher data rates, improved spectral efficiency, etc. For example, SCI-1 and/or SCI-2 may be mapped to physical channel layers by repeating the same modulation symbols across all layers, across groupings or sets of layers, across layers associated with each codeword, etc.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for encoding and decoding are described. To encode a vector, an encoder allocates information bits of the vector to channel instances of a channel that are separated into groups. The groups may vary in size and allocation of the information bits is based on a base sequence of a given length. During decoding, a decoder assigns different bit types to channels instances by dividing a codeword into a plurality of groups and assigning bit types to channel instances of the plurality of groups using the base sequence.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein to terminate a list decoding operation before its completion based on performing one or more error check processes. A transmitted codeword encoded using a polar code may include one or more error check vectors interspersed with one or more information vectors. Upon receiving the codeword, a decoder may perform a list decoding operation on the received codeword. Upon decoding one of the error check vectors, the decoder may determine whether at least one candidate path used in the successive cancellation list decoding operation passes an error check process based on the error check vector. If no candidate paths satisfy the error check process, the decoder may terminate the list decoding operation. In some examples, the decoder may recheck whether candidate paths satisfy the error check operation at intermediate positions between error check vectors. Such rechecking may occur while decoding information vectors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), may identify a default modulation and coding scheme table and a preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table associated with a resource pool. The UE may receive, from a transmitting communication device, an indication of the preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table to use for upcoming sidelink communications. The UE may then communicate based on the preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for low density parity check (LDPC) interleaving with improved error floor performance. A method for wireless communications that may be provided by a transmitting device is provided. The method generally includes encoding one or more information bits using a LDPC code to produce a coded bit sequence comprising systematic bits and parity bits. The transmitting device stores the coded bit sequence in a circular buffer. The transmitting device performs rate matching on the coded bit sequence. The rate matching includes interleaving the parity bits with a partial interleaver and interleaving the systematic bits and interleaved parity bits with a systematic bit priority mapping (SBPM) interleaver. The transmitting device maps the SBPM interleaved bit sequence to constellation points according to a modulation scheme and transmits the modulated bit sequence.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An encoder may utilize a common mother code for encoding control information to each set of control channel resources of a control channel, control channel associated with multiple transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. For example, the common mother code may include utilizing same parameters when constructing the polar code for each set of control channel resources, where the parameters include a block length, a number of information bits, or both. Additionally, rate matching procedures for each control channel resource may differ (e.g., puncturing, shortening, or repetition). Additionally or alternatively, the mother code and rate matching may be determined based on a sum of all available coded bits in each control channel resource and the number of information bits. A decoder may then attempt soft combination of candidates from the different sets of control channel resources to obtain decoded control information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support feedback for multicast communications. A user equipment (UE) in a group of UEs may receive multicast information from a base station in a downlink (DL) transmission scheduled by a DL grant. The DL grant may also indicate a set of uplink resources for the group of UEs to use to transmit feedback. The UE may attempt to decode a message containing the multicast information in the DL transmission. If the UE determines the message was successfully decoded, the UE may send no feedback to the base station. If the UE determines the message was not successfully decoded, the UE may transmit a feedback message to the base station to indicate the message was unsuccessfully decoded. The base station may monitor for the feedback message and determine to retransmit the multicast information if the feedback message is received.

Abstract: Size ambiguity and false alarm rate reduction for polar codes. A user equipment (UE) may determine a decoding candidate bit sequence for a polar-encoded codeword having a codeword size based on a decoding hypothesis for control information having a particular bit length of multiple different bit lengths for the codeword size. The UE may calculate an error detection code (EDC) value for a payload portion of the decoding candidate bit sequence using an EDC algorithm, and may initialize an EDC variable state with at least one non-zero bit value. Scrambling or interleaving of bits may also be performed prior to, or after, polar encoding and may depend on the bit length. In examples, information bits may be bit-reversed prior to generating an EDC value. In examples, the encoded bits may include multiple EDC values to assist the UE in performing early termination and to reduce a false alarm rate.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for determining a transport block size (TBS) as a function of various parameters without cyclic dependencies between the parameters and TBS. The disclosed function can determine a TBS in a single pass, and the determined TBS allows the use of code blocks with equal code block size (CBS) in a transport block segmentation process. The determined TBS can provide byte-aligned code block lengths and require no padding bits in a transport block.
