    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for beam group reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, multiple PRS resources, e.g., a beam group, received by a user equipment (UE) from the same network entity may be used to produce a combined Time of Arrival (TOA) measurement for the reference or target to derive an Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) estimate. The UE provides to a network entity an indication of the PRS resources in the beam group, which may be specifically or generally identified. Additionally, parameters associated with the beam group are provided, such as a relative quality of the TOA measurement for each PRS resource in the subset, a spread of the TOA measurements in the subset, a relative signal strength of each PRS resource in the subset, or a spread of the signal strength in the subset.

    Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a trigger for aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission for a group of component carriers (CCs), and selecting for transmission, by the UE and in response to the trigger, one or more SRS resource sets for each CC of the group of one or more CCs. At least one CC has multiple SRS resource sets configured. The UE transmits, to the base station, an SRS on each CC of the group of CCs based on the selecting. Another method of wireless communication includes transmitting, by a base station to a UE, a trigger for aperiodic SRS transmission for a group of CCs. At least one CC has multiple SRS resource sets configured for the UE. The base station receives, from the UE, one or more SRS on each CC of the group of CCs.

    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.

    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for rate matching physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) around zero power (ZP) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources in slot aggregation scenarios are described. In one technique, an indication that triggers a set of ZP CSI-RS resources is received in a first slot of a plurality of aggregated slots. A rate matching behavior for processing a PDSCH transmission received in the first slot and at least a second slot, subsequent to the first slot, of the plurality of aggregated slots is determined. The PDSCH transmission received in the first slot and at least the second slot is processed in accordance with the rate matching behavior.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration for communications on a set of cells. The UE may determine that signals transmitted on the set of cells may be spatially quasi co-located based on the CA configuration and a predetermined relationship rule. For example, the UE may determine that the signals are spatially co-located based on receiving multiple synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) that have a same SSB index, receiving a common SSB, assuming that an SSB and reference signals sourced by the SSB are spatially quasi co-located, receiving a signal from a particular cell of the set of cells, or receiving a common spatial QCL relationship during a configured period of time. Once the spatial QCL relationship is determined, the UE may receive the signals transmitted on the set of cells based on the spatial QCL relationship.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for transmitting reference signals (RS) for positioning. A method comprises transmitting or providing an instruction to transmit a first set of RS to a user equipment (UE) in accordance with a first set of RS transmission parameters, receiving a report containing information indicating whether a measurement performed by the UE is limited by a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the first set of RS or a bandwidth of the first set of RS, determining a second set of RS transmission parameters using the received report, wherein the second set of RS transmission parameters is different from the first set of RS transmission parameters, and transmitting a second set of RS to the UE in accordance with the second set of RS transmission parameters, or providing the second set of RS transmission parameters to a base station.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with repetitions, including techniques for signaling the number of PDCCH repetitions, the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timeline processing with PDCCH repetitions, and the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) structure for the repeated PDCCH. A method for wireless communications, by a user equipment (UE), includes determining a number of repetitions of a PDCCH. Each of the PDCCH repetitions has a same downlink control information (DCI) payload, a same aggregation level, and/or a grant for a same data channel allocation. The method includes monitoring for the PDCCH based on the determined number of repetitions.

    Abstract: The described techniques provide for mapping one or more demodulation reference signal (DMRS) patterns to one or more available channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. A UE receiving DMRS and CSI-RS signals may determine CSI-RS resources, or reduce its search space for identification of CSI-RS transmissions, based on a DMRS pattern for a transmission. In some cases, a base station may transmit DMRS patterns and a mapping between DMRS patterns and CSI-RS resources to a UE. CSI-RS resources may be configured semi-statically or dynamically by a base station. In some cases, one or more null DMRS patterns may be configured and mapped to CSI-RS resources, and a base station may use a null DMRS pattern for one UE to transmit a DMRS to a different UE, and both UEs may measure channel state information based on an associated CSI-RS transmitted in mapped CSI-RS resources.
