The present application relates to the field of communications, and disclosed are a method and device for determining an information domain value in a DCI. The method and device are used for reducing HARQ feedback overheads, and the method comprises during HARQ feedback, determining a value set indicated by a timing relationship in a fallback DCI (equivalent to a format 1_0 of a DCI) according to a value set indicated by a timing relationship in a non-fallback DCI (equivalent to a format 1-1 of a DCI), to overcome the problem of increasing a codebook caused by different value ranges indicated by the timing relationships in the fallback DCI and in the non-fallback DCI, so that the HARQ feedback overheads are effectively reduced, thus the system running load is reduced, and the system performance is effectively ensured.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may transmit a message, to a user equipment (UE), instructing the UE to activate or update a reference signal (RS) corresponding to an uplink communication transmitted by the UE. The base station may communicate with the UE, after a time period, using a beam configuration of the base station that corresponds to a beam configuration of the UE for transmitting the RS, the time period being based at least in part on a determination of whether the UE identified the beam configuration of the base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for mapping time domain positions for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes identifying time domain positions for a DMRS to be transmitted with a transport block (TB) sent across multiple slots and transmitting the TB across the multiple slots with the DMRS in the time domain positions.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) communication from a base station (BS). The UE may identify, based at least in part on a determination that the PBCH communication indicates a reference signal that is to be transmitted prior to transmission of a remaining minimum system information (RMSI) physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication, one or more radio resources in which the reference signal is to be transmitted. The UE may monitor for the reference signal, from the BS, in the one or more radio resources prior to reception of the RMSI PDCCH communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state and a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing. The wireless device transmits, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

A method is disclosed for PHICH resource allocation in a wireless communication system that supports flexible TDD UL-DL configuration and in which different TDD UL-DL configurations are available and the TDD UL-DL configuration used by first UEs which operate according to the flexible TDD configuration can be different to the TDD UL-DL configuration used by second UEs which operate according to a long term TDD UL-DL configuration. The method comprising allocating a PHICH resource for both first UEs and second UEs according to LTE timing rules applicable to the TDD UL-DL configuration in use by second UEs.

A method, device, storage medium and system for determining a time-domain resource determination are provided. The method includes that: allocation information for scheduling a time-domain resource is received from a network device (S401), the time-domain resource to be scheduled including a time-domain resource required by channel transmission; a time-domain position is determined for the time-domain resource to be scheduled based on a preset rule according to UL/DL time-domain resource configuration information and the allocation information; and channel transmission is performed with the network device through the time-domain resource to be scheduled according to the time-domain position corresponding to the time-domain resource to be scheduled.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Linking multiple search space sets for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition may be enabled in a system. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configured search space set association from a base station. The association may indicate, to the UE, a configuration between a first PDCCH candidate and a second PDCCH candidate. The first PDCCH candidate may correspond to a first search space set, while the second PDCCH candidate may correspond to a second search space set. The UE may monitor the first and second search space set based on the configuration. The UE may combine the first PDCCH candidate with the second PDCCH candidate monitored in the first and second search space set based on capabilities of the UE and the configuration. The UE may decode the combined PDCCH candidates along with individual PDCCH candidates.
