Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive a first reference signal from a second device and may generate a channel status feedback message based on the first reference signal. The first device may bundle the second reference signal and the channel status feedback message and may transmit the second reference signal and the channel status feedback to the second device.

Methods, systems, and devices for transmitting a positioning reference signal over a channel within a window including a set of positioning reference signal transmission opportunities. A device may identify the window and perform a channel access procedure to access the channel during the window. Based on performing the channel access procedure, the device may obtain access to the channel and determine that a portion of the positioning reference signal transmission opportunities are remaining within the window. The device may transmit a positioning reference signal during one or more of the remaining positioning reference signal transmission opportunities. In some cases, the device may refrain from transmitting a positioning reference signal during a portion of a positioning reference signal transmission opportunity even if the device gains access to the channel during that portion of the positioning reference signal transmission opportunity.

Techniques and device for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may establish multiple connections with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs). The wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI) messages from the multiple transmission points and may generate joint hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (HARQ) based on the received downlink control information messages. To support joint HARQ feedback, counter indices may be jointly assigned to the DCI messages generated by the multiple transmission reception points. The method for jointly assigning the DCI messages may be selected based on a level of interference detected in a communications channel. Also, to support joint HARQ feedback, a total counter index in an uplink DCI message may be configured to indicate a total number of DCI message transmitted from a first TRP and a second TRP during a time period.

Aspects of the present disclose provide various methods and apparatuses for communicating, controlling, and configuring component carrier and bandwidth part (BWP). A scheduling entity receives a capability report from a user equipment (UE). The capability report indicates a capability of the UE to utilize at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) or one or more bandwidth parts. The scheduling entity transmits a command to the UE to reconfigure at least one of a CA configuration or a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration. The scheduling entity determines an anticipated response timing of an acknowledgment (ACK) of the command based on the capability report received from the UE. The scheduling entity receives the ACK according to the anticipated response timing.

The method also includes receiving a cell activation indication to activate the first serving cell and the second serving cell, activating the first serving cell and the second serving cell, applying the dormant behavior to the first serving cell based on the first indicator when the first serving cell is activated, and not applying the dormant behavior to the second serving cell based on the second indicator when the second serving cell is activated.

Disclosed are a transmission device and a transmission method with which it is possible to prevent delays in data transmission and to minimize the increase in the number of bits necessary for the notification of a CC to be used, in cases where a CC to be used is added during communication employing carrier aggregation. When a component carrier is to be added to a component carrier set, a setting section provided in a base station: modifies a CIF table that defines the correspondence between code points, which are used as labels for the respective component carriers contained in the component carrier set, and the identification information of the respective component carriers; and assigns a vacant code point to the component carrier to be added, while keeping the correspondence between the code points and the component carrier identification information defined in the CIF table before modification.
