A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) determines a downlink/uplink (DL/UL) switching capability of the UE, and reports the DL/UL switching capability to a network. The DL/UL switching capability may indicate a quantity of DL/UL switch points, N, supported by the UE, and a time duration to which the quantity of DL/UL switch points is applied. The DL/UL switching capability may indicate a minimum link duration for which the UE should maintain a link direction after a previous DL/UL switch operation and before a next DL/UL switch operation. The DL/UL switching capability may include a DL/UL switching delay indicating a time specified for the UE to complete a DL/UL switching operation. The DL/UL switching capability may be based on a reference subcarrier spacing (SCS).

In a message modulated according to orthogonal amplitude-modulated component signals in 5G or 6G, the receiver can attempt to recover a corrupted message by evaluating the modulation quality of each component signal in each message element. The modulation quality of each component signal may be determined according to a distance between the amplitude of the component signal and the closest amplitude level of the modulation scheme, as determined by a prior demodulation reference. The modulation quality may also be determined by the SNR and amplitude stability of the component signal. Upon detecting a corrupted message, the receiver can identify the faulted message elements according to modulation quality, and if the faulted message elements are clustered in a portion of the message (as is common), the receiver can request that just the faulted portion be retransmitted, saving time and bandwidth.

A non-terrestrial network (NTN) node transmits configuration information including an indication of a maximum transmission block size (TBS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A TBS for the PUSCH or PDSCH is determined based on at least the indicated TBS, and one of a signal indicates one of a maximum modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the PUSCH or PDSCH transmission or whether the PUSCH or PDSCH transmission uses a default MCS, or the MCS is determined based on at least the indicated maximum MCS, and the PUSCH is transmitted or the PDSCH is received based on the determined TBS and the determined MCS. A maximum TBS, a maximum MCS, or a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) processes is indicated by a master information block (MIB), a system information block (SIB), or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access message (e.g., msgA or msg3) using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selected based on the frequency band and subcarrier spacing utilized for the random access procedure. The MCS may depend on the frequency band and a size of the SCS satisfying a threshold. In some cases, a base station may select and indicate the MCS for the UE. Additionally or alternatively, a phase tracking reference signal may be transmitted along with a random access message to correct for phase noise.

A method for selecting a mode of transmission for a first telecommunication entity of a communication signal to a second telecommunication entity, each mode determining a physical bitrate. The method includes: determining for a given mode a first metric corrected by a second metric, the first metric measuring at a given distance d a relative degradation by the medium for transmitting the signal resulting from a relative degradation linked to a multipath effect at the link level with respect to a Gaussian channel and from a relative degradation linked to an effect of attenuation of the medium with respect to a model of attenuation in free space, the second metric determining a ratio between a mean bitrate and the physical bitrate for this mode of transmission; comparing for various modes of transmission, values of the first metric corrected to select at least one mode of transmission for distance d.

Controlling and reducing overhead in control channels in 5G or other next generation communication systems is provided herein. In connection with a data transmission between a device and a network node device, an overhead management component (OMC) can analyze one or more factors associated with the device, including speed or Doppler metric(s) of the device, type of service associated with the device, historical HARQ statistics for the device, configured threshold value for CSI estimation, device capability regarding redundancy version support, or other factor(s). Based on analysis results, OMC can determine whether to utilize a single redundancy version state or a multiple redundancy versions state. If the single redundancy version state is selected, OMC can generate control information that does not include redundancy version information, the control information being communicated via a control channel. OMC can communicate RRC signal to the device to indicate the determined redundancy version state.
