    Abstract: A first device may be configured to implement a procedure for resource pool and sidelink primary cell switching. In some aspects, the first device may transmit, to a second device monitoring a first sidelink resource, a sidelink bandwidth configuration message causing the second device to monitor a second sidelink resource, and switch a primary resource designation from the first sidelink resource to the second sidelink resource, the primary resource designation corresponding to communication of management information and/or acknowledgement information. Further, the first device may communicate, based on the switching, the management information and/or the acknowledgement information with the second device via the second sidelink resource.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure one or more user equipments (UEs) with one or more timers, such that the UEs may switch directions for a communication mode for the duration of a timer and during a discontinuous cycle. The UEs may activate the timers and may perform the switching operation during the active duration of a discontinuous cycle. A UE may transmit a sidelink message during a transmission on duration (TX-On). The UE may activate a timer and switch to a receive mode. Similarly, the second UE may receive the sidelink message during a reception on duration (RX-On) and may activate the timer. The second UE may switch to a TX-On mode for an on duration of a TX-On cycle to transmit a sidelink response.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for avoiding collisions between hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback transmissions and between HARQ feedback transmissions and other transmissions. In one example, a base station may configure resources for HARQ feedback transmissions such that the resources are exclusive of each other to avoid collisions between HARQ feedback transmissions. In another example, a base station may indicate resources for a user equipment (UE) to use for HARQ feedback transmissions such that the resources are exclusive of each other to avoid collisions between HARQ feedback transmissions. In yet another example, if a HARQ feedback transmission and another transmission are scheduled on overlapping resources, a UE may be configured to multiplex bits of the HARQ feedback transmission and the other transmission or drop the other transmission.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive information indicating a reservation or allocation of a resource for transmission of a first signal by another network node, wherein the information identifies whether the network node is to use the resource for transmission of a second signal concurrently with the first signal. The network node may transmit the second signal in the resource based at least in part on the information identifying whether the network node is to use the resource for transmission of the second signal. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) flexibly prioritize between communication resources and measurement gaps to resolve collisions between communication resources and measurement gaps. For collisions between a dynamically scheduled communication resources and a measurement gap, a UE may communicate using the scheduled communication resource based on at least one of a time between reception of the downlink control message and a start of the measurement gap satisfying a first threshold duration or a second period of time between reception of the downlink control message and a start of the communication resource satisfying a second threshold duration. For collisions between periodic communication resources and periodic measurement gaps, a UE may either perform a measurement during the measurement gap or communicate using the communication resource based on a priority scheme associated with the measurement gap and the periodically scheduled communication resource.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a mobile station may receive, from a base station, an indication of a time domain resource allocation, wherein the indication is associated with a starting symbol and a length and includes symbols across at least two slots. Accordingly, the mobile station may communicate, with the base station, using the time domain resource allocation. In some aspects, a mobile station may receive, from a base station, an indication of at least two slots to be merged, wherein the at least two slots are associated with a periodicity. Accordingly, the mobile station may communicate, with the base station and within the at least two slots. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may perform channel state information (CSI) estimation on multiple links (e.g., a Uu link and a sidelink) without excessive power expenditures. The UE may report a CSI processing unit (CPU) capability to a network device. The CPU capability information may include separate CPU capabilities for separate links, or a single CPU capability for multiple links. The network device, the UE, or both, may trigger CSI estimation procedures that do not exceed the reported CPU capability, or may otherwise prioritize CSI estimation procedures based on the CPU capability. The UE may then perform CSI estimation procedures according to one or more rules associated with the CPU capabilities. In some examples, such rules may be explicitly signaled to the UE, or may be included in one or more standard documents.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for indicating transmit power control information to a user equipment (UE) for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmissions in short transmission time intervals (TTIs) from the UE, and for configuring reference signal transmissions in SPS transmissions of short TTIs. A UE may be configured with uplink power control information for SPS transmissions that use sTTIs that is separate from uplink power control for longer TTIs. A UE may receive the power control information and apply it in SPS transmissions that use sTTIs. Uplink transmit power for SPS sTTI transmissions may be independent of power control for regular sTTI transmissions and independent of power control for long TTI transmissions. UEs may apply a cyclic shift to reference signals transmitted is SPS transmissions according to a SPS configuration, rather than a cyclic shift indicated in a SPS activation command.
