Aspects described herein relate to measuring a signal quality at at least one receive beam while transmitting, in full duplex communications, over each of one or more transmit beams associated with the at least one receive beam, and determining, based at least in part on the measured signal quality associated with each of the one or more transmit beams and the at least one receive beam, a transmit/receive beam pair to use in full duplex communications with one or more other nodes.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a base station including a configuration for communicating with the base station, and the base station may transmit an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the base station (e.g., in response to the RRC reconfiguration message). The UE may then apply the configuration in the RRC reconfiguration message for communicating with the base station after transmitting the RRC reconfiguration complete message. That is, the UE may delay application of the configuration in the RRC reconfiguration message until after the UE transmits the RRC reconfiguration complete message. Using these techniques, ambiguity between the base station and the UE on when the configuration is applied by the UE may be minimized, resulting in improved throughput and reduced latency in a wireless communications system.

A wireless device may receive one or more configuration parameters for a cell. The one or more configuration parameters may indicate a periodic resource configuration. The periodic resource configuration may be activatable by predetermined values of: a hybrid automatic repeat request process identifier (HARQ ID) field of a first downlink control information (DCI) format; and a redundancy version (RV) field of the first DCI format. The wireless device may receive a DCI based on a second DCI format without the HARQ ID field and/or the RV field. The wireless device may activate the periodic resource configuration based on: a size of the HARQ ID field of the DCI and/or the RV field of the DCI being zero; and the periodic resource configuration being in an inactive state.

A method of operating a radio node in a wireless communication network includes communicating utilising signaling. The communication of the utilising signaling is based on performing pulse-shaping pertaining to the signaling. The pulse-shaping is based on a first pulse-shaping parameter beta. Other related devices and methods are disclosed.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), a Slot Format Indication (SFI) is received within a first Channel Occupancy Time (COT) of a serving cell. The SFI is indicative of one or more slot formats of one or more slots of the serving cell. A first signal indicative of an ending position of the first COT is received. A beginning of at least one slot of the one or more slots is after the ending position. The UE determines whether to apply a slot format, of a slot of the one or more slots, to the slot based upon whether the slot is within the first COT, wherein the slot format of the slot is indicated by the SFI.

An apparatus and method for broadcast signal frame using layered division multiplexing are disclosed. An apparatus for generating broadcast signal frame according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a combiner configured to generate a multiplexed signal by combining a core layer signal and an enhanced layer signal at different power levels; a power normalizer configured to reduce the power of the multiplexed signal to a power level corresponding to the core layer signal; a time interleaver configured to generate a time-interleaved signal by performing interleaving that is applied to both the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal; and a frame builder configured to generate a broadcast signal frame including a preamble for signaling time interleaver information shared by the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal, using the time-interleaved signal.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for performing sidelink communication is provided. The method may include: receiving sidelink control information (SCI) from a second apparatus and transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgement (HARQ NACK) to the second apparatus through physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) based on information on a location of the first apparatus being not available and HARQ NACK-only feedback option being applied by the SCI, wherein a transport block (TB) related to the SCI is not decoded by the first apparatus.

Apparatuses and methods for frequency selective uplink precoding are provided. The method includes receiving configuration information about resource allocation for an uplink transmission, the configuration information indicating: allocated resources for uplink transmission, and uplink precoding information for G antenna port groups for the uplink transmission on the allocated resources, wherein the uplink precoding information indicates: SD basis vectors, FD basis vectors, coefficients for (SD, FD) basis vector pairs, and two components for the coefficients across the G antenna port groups; based on the uplink precoding information, applying uplink precoding for the G antenna port groups; and performing uplink transmission on the allocated resources according to the configuration information.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may map a plurality of resource elements from an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) resource structure to respective time-domain samples of a plurality of time-domain samples included in a single-carrier resource structure. The BS may transmit the plurality of time-domain samples to a user equipment (UE). Numerous other aspects are provided.
