Disclosed are systems and techniques for wireless communications. For instance, a user equipment (UE) can perform federated learning to generate a first set of updated model parameters corresponding to a machine learning model. In some cases, the UE can receive a request for the first set of updated model parameters from a network entity, wherein the request includes a resource allocation associated with an uplink channel. In some examples, the UE can determine a signal phase corresponding to the uplink channel. In some aspects, the UE can transmit, based on the signal phase, the first set of updated model parameters using the resource allocation on the uplink channel.

The scheduling flexibility of CSI reference signals enables time and frequency synchronization using multiple non-zero CSI-RSs transmitted in the same subframe, or using CSI-RSs transmitted in the same subframe with other synchronization signals. Also, multiple synchronization signals may be scheduled in the same subframe to enable fine time and frequency synchronization without cell-specific reference signals.

A wireless communication device can adaptively perform tracking loop updates for rude wake-up events when operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In an aspect, the wireless communication device can perform one or more tracking loop updates, such as time tracking loop (TTL) updates and frequency tracking loop (FTL) updates, based on a time difference between a last tracking loop update and a warm-up occasion associated with a rude wake-up event being greater than a threshold. In addition, in response to the time difference being less than or equal to the threshold, the wireless communication device can perform the rude wake-up event without performing the one or more tracking loop updates.

Embodiments of the present application relate to a method for determining a synchronization signal block (SSB), a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes receiving a first SSB, the first SSB including first location indication information, and the first position indication information being used for determining a position of a second synchronization raster in a target synchronization raster set, and the target synchronization raster set including part of synchronization rasters in a frequency domain; and determining a frequency position of a second SSB corresponding to the second synchronization raster according to the position of the second synchronization raster. According to the method for determining the SSB, the terminal device, and the network device of the embodiments of the present application, the frequency range of the position of the SSB indicated can be increased, and meanwhile, the complexity of detecting the SSB by the terminal device can be reduced.

Disclosed is a method of operating a low power wireless receiver in which a radio is periodically operable for receive intervals with sleep intervals therebetween and comprising a sleep clock having a sleep clock accuracy. A first transmission or packet is received. Based on a start moment of the first received packet, and an expected interval between packets, a nominal start moment is determined to start the radio for a packet window until a nominal end moment, for receiving a second packet; the packet window duration is extended in dependence on an estimated drift based on the SCA to provide a widened window. A start moment of a second received packet is measured within the widened window. An actual drift is calculated, from the start moment of the second packet; and an actual start moment and an actual window duration is determined, for receiving a third packet, based on the actual drift.

A system is disclosed. The system may include a receiver or transmitter node. The receiver or transmitter node may include a communications interface with an antenna element and a controller. The controller may include one or more processors and have information of own node velocity and own node orientation relative to a common reference frame. The receiver or transmitter node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections to signals, the Doppler corrections associated with the receiver or transmitter node's own motions relative to the common reference frame, the Doppler corrections applied using Doppler null steering along Null directions. The receiver node is configured to determine a bearing angle based on the signals based on Doppler null steering; and to determine a range based on two-way time-of-flight based ranging signals.

A system includes at least a receiving (Rx) and transmitting (Tx) node in relative motion, the Rx node aboard an aircraft or other vehicle. The Rx and Tx nodes include a communications interface with antenna elements and a controller including one or more processors, each node knowing own-node velocity and orientation relative to a common reference frame known to both nodes. The Rx or Tx node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections associated with each node's own motions relative to the common reference frame. The system may replace, enhance, or operate as a ground-based navigational station (e.g., wherein the Tx node operates as a VOR or NDB beacon) or a vehicle-based approach or landing system (e.g., wherein the Tx node is also vehicle-based), e.g., the Rx node determining a relative bearing to the Tx node based on Doppler corrections with respect to Tx-node transmissions.

Aspects described herein relate to communicating a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) corresponding to a downlink control channel, buffering, based on receiving the DMRS, samples of a downlink data channel associated with the downlink control channel, and processing, during on a time period indicated based at least in part on a sequence of the DMRS, at least a portion of the samples of the downlink data channel. Another aspect relates to determining, based at least in part on a sequence of the DMRS, a time offset from the downlink control channel to a downlink data channel, and determining, based at least in part on the time offset, a time period based on which to transmit or start processing samples of the downlink data channel.

A system and a method are provided in which a user equipment (UE) obtains a set of coefficients and a set of subcarriers from a location management function (LMF), and measures carrier phases on subcarriers, from the set of subcarriers, of a received reference signal transmitted with multi-carrier modulation. The UE determines a virtual carrier phase generated from the measured carrier phases and corresponding coefficients, from the set of coefficients. The UE reports the virtual carrier phase to the LMF.

A system and a method are provided in which a user equipment (UE) in a network measures a first carrier phase based on a first reference signal at a first frequency, and a second carrier phase based on a second reference signal at a second frequency that is different from the first frequency. The UE performs a measurement based on the first carrier phase and the second carrier phase. The UE reports the measurement to a location management function (LMF) of the network.
