| |
| − | The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that randomized shifts of a base sequence can be used to transmit uplink control information. A user equipment (UE) can identify a base sequence and receive signaling indicating a UE-specific initial shift to be applied to the base sequence. The signaling for the randomized shift can be explicit, implicit, or a combination of both. The UE then determines shifted sequences based on the initial shift, payload of the uplink control message, and the base sequence. The UE selects a shifted sequence to transmit based on the payload of the uplink control message. Different shifted sequences can be selected for different types of transmissions, such as scheduling requests, 1-bit acknowledgments (ACKs), 2-bit ACKs, and more.

In some examples, the signaling that indicates the randomized shift may be explicit, implicit, or a combination thereof. After determining one or more shifted sequences based on the UE-specific initial shift, a payload of the uplink control message, and the base sequence, the UE may select a shifted sequence to be transmitted, where the selection is based on a payload of the uplink control message. For example, different shifted sequences may be selected for respective transmissions of scheduling requests, 1-bit acknowledgments (ACKs), 2-bit ACKs, and the like.

| − | '''Brief explanation'''
| |
| − | The abstract describes a method for improving the efficiency of retransmissions in wireless communication. It introduces two types of grants: dynamic grants (DG) and configured grants (CG). DGs use communication resources more efficiently, while CGs reduce overhead and latency. The base station configures the user equipment (UE) with a retransmission timer or without one using radio resource control signaling. The base station then transmits a set of CG configurations to the UE, which includes information about whether a retransmission timer is associated with the CG processes. The base station can receive communication from the UE based on these CG processes and the presence or absence of a retransmission timer. By combining CG and DG based retransmissions, the method reduces latency, overhead, and resource usage, especially when the UE has different channel conditions for multiple CG processes.

THROUGHPUT IMPROVEMENT FOR RADIO FRAMES CONTAINING TIME DIVISION DUPLEX (TDD) SPECIAL SLOTS OR TDD/FREQUENCY DIVISION DUPLEX (FDD) RATE-MATCHED SLOTS simplified abstract|17719261]])=== |
| − | Dynamic grants (DG) for retransmission by a user equipment (UE) use the communication resource more efficiently while configured grants (CG) for retransmission by the UE reduce overhead and latency. A base station (BS) uses radio resource control signaling to configure the UE with a retransmission timer or without a retransmission timer. The BS transmits to the UE a set of CG configurations configuring a set of configured grant uplink (CG-UL) processes. The set of CG configurations includes information indicating whether or not a cg-RetransmissionTimer is associated with the CG-UL processes. The BS is also configured to receive communication on UL from the UE. The communication from the UE is received based on the set of CG-UL processes and the indication whether or not a cg-RetransmissionTimer is associated with the CG-UL processes. A UE may have different channel conditions for a plurality of CG-UL processes of the UE and therefore using a combination of CG based retransmission and DG based retransmission will reduce latency and reduce overhead and use the resource more efficiently.

| |
| − | The abstract describes a wireless communication technique called orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) precoding. In this technique, a first network node applies OTFS precoding to a set of tracking reference signal (TRS) resource samples that are allocated in a delay-Doppler domain. This application of OTFS precoding results in a set of TRS symbols. The first network node then transmits these TRS symbols to a second network node. Notably, the TRS symbols with OTFS precoding have a uniform spacing in the time domain. The abstract mentions that there are numerous other aspects described in the disclosure.

| − | This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support blind common phase error (CPE) and residual carrier frequency offset mitigation. The techniques described aim to mitigate CPE at a receiving device without the need for a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), resulting in less overhead and improved performance compared to using a PTRS. The receiving device can receive a shared channel message in a scheduled shared channel allocation, omitting the PTRS allocation based on the device's capability to apply blind CPE mitigation. In some cases, blind CPE mitigation for each subsequent data symbol of the shared channel message can be based on the blind CPE estimation for the previous symbol, allowing for robust mitigation of a residual carrier frequency offset.

| − | Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques support blind common phase error (CPE) and residual carrier frequency offset mitigation. Generally, the described techniques provide for blind CPE mitigation at a receiving device without a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) associated with less overhead and improved performance as compared to use of a PTRS to mitigate CPE. A receiving device may receive a shared channel message in a scheduled shared channel allocation in accordance with a PTRS configuration that omits a PTRS allocation based on a capability of the receiving device to apply blind CPE mitigation for shared channel receptions. In some examples, with a single DMRS symbol allocation, blind CPE mitigation for each subsequent data symbol of a shared channel message may be based on the blind CPE estimation for the previous symbol, which may enable robust mitigation of a residual carrier frequency offset.

| − | This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces the concept of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) that can perform multipath fading equalization. By selecting a RIS in close proximity to a receiving device, the network entity can ensure that the multipath fading between the RIS and the receiver is below a certain threshold. The selected RIS is then configured with a phase matrix to compensate for the multipath fading over the network entity to RIS wireless link. As a result, the receiving device can omit or simplify its equalization procedure, benefiting from the RIS's compensation for multipath fading.

| − | Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, described techniques provide for performing multipath fading equalization at a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), allowing a receiving device to omit an equalization procedure or to perform a simpler equalization. A transmitting device, such as a network entity, may select a RIS that is within a sufficient proximity to a receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), that multipath fading of the RIS to receiver wireless link is likely to be below a threshold. The network entity may configure the selected RIS with a phase matrix to perform over-the-air equalization to compensate for multipath fading over the network entity to RIS wireless link. The UE may omit an equalization procedure or may perform a simpler equalization procedure as compared to a scenario where the RIS does not compensate for multipath fading.

| |
| − | The abstract describes a method to improve the efficiency of a power amplifier in a wireless communication system. The method involves reducing the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) by using a technique called PAPR reduction precoding. This technique modifies the received signal in a way that does not affect performance, resulting in a lower overall transmit PAPR. The transmitting device constructs a frequency domain response to the PAPR reduction precoding and estimates the channel to the receiving device(s). It then applies the PAPR reduction precoding and constructs a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoding matrix based on the frequency domain response. The receiving device applies the conjugated frequency domain response to the received signal from the transmitting device and processes a received reference signal using the PAPR reduction precoder.

| − | In a wireless communication system, a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) may affect the efficiency of a power amplifier. To reduce a PAPR, a transmitting device may utilize a PAPR reduction precoding that changes a received signal without performance impact so the overall transmit PAPR is reduced. The transmitting device constructs a frequency domain (FD) response to the PAPR reduction precoding, estimates a channel to one or more receiving devices, and applies the PAPR reduction precoding to the estimated channel. The transmitting device constructs a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoding matrix considering the FD response of the PAPR reduction precoding and applies the MIMO precoding matrix and the PAPR reduction precoding to an FD signal. A receiving device applies the FD response conjugated to a received FD signal from the transmitting device and processes at least a received reference signal based on the PAPR reduction precoder.

| − | This abstract describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) to receive a configuration for measuring interference signals (CLI) and/or signal interference (SI). The UE then receives a message from the base station activating the configured resources for measurement. The UE measures the CLI and/or SI based on the interference signal and sends a report to the base station. The UE also estimates the average interference level based on the transmission power of the interference signal from another UE over multiple time slots. The base station uses this estimated average interference level to determine the interference level for the other UE based on a concept called CLI reciprocity.

| − | This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a first user equipment (UE), referred to as the "victim" UE, receives control signaling indicating a configuration for reporting cross-link interference (CLI). The CLI is a type of interference that occurs between different UEs. The configuration is associated with a set of CLI resources, which are different frequencies or channels that may experience varying levels of CLI at the first UE.

| − | The abstract describes a method for determining the location of user equipments (UEs) using sidelink positioning. This is done by exchanging messages between the UEs, which contain information about their positioning capabilities, resources, signal configurations, measurements, and location results. These location results can include ranges, directions, locations, velocities, relative locations, and relative velocities. UEs can be grouped together based on certain criteria, and the group management procedure allows for adding, removing, and transferring UEs between groups. The network can also support sidelink positioning by transferring messages between a UE and a location server, where the messages can be embedded in LPP and/or SUPL messages.

| − | The abstract describes a method for optimizing paging in relay operations. In this method, a remote user equipment (UE) provides one or more paging identifiers to relay UEs over relay links. Each relay UE then forwards the paging identifier(s) to a serving radio access network (RAN) node. The serving RAN node further sends the paging identifier(s) to an anchor RAN node and/or a core network node to improve the paging process for the remote UE. This optimization may involve limiting the paging to the cells that include the relay UEs. The remote UE can choose to receive the paging message from one of the relay UEs or from all of them. Additionally, a relay UE can send a page reject message to decline a paging message.

To prevent latency caused by missed signaling, the UE can autonomously switch to a different BWP without waiting for a command from the network. This can be achieved by transmitting a scheduling request (SR) on each configured BWP and monitoring for responsive signaling.

| − | Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may be configured with multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) and may support multiple subscriber identification modules (SIMs) (e.g., may operate in a multi-SIM (MSIM) mode). The UE may tune away from a default data SIM (DDS) subscription for a tune away gap and may miss any downlink signaling, such as an indication of a BWP switch, for a duration of the tune away. To avoid latency resulting from such missed downlink signaling, the UE may support a mechanism according to which the UE may autonomously switch to a different BWP despite a missed command from a network entity. Such a mechanism may include transmission of a scheduling request (SR) on each of multiple BWPs configured for the UE and monitoring each of the multiple BWPs for signaling responsive to the SR.
