The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a UE and a base station for wireless communication. The UE receives a first signaling in a first resource element set and a first radio signal. The first resource element set determines a first information set out of M information sets; wherein M is equal to 2; the first resource element set comprises a positive integer number of resource element(s); any information set of the M information sets comprises a positive integer number of information element(s); any information element in the M information sets is a transmission configuration indication state; any information element of the integer number of information element(s) comprises a first type index and a second type index set, a second type index set comprises one second type index or multiple second type indices. The above method helps reduce overhead for scheduling signaling.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for determining application timing for path loss reference signals (PL RS). For example, the application timing is determined by determining an applicable time for a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) based PL RS for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and other uplink transmissions. A user equipment (UE) may receive a MAC-CE indicating a PL RS update and determine the applicable time for applying the PL RS update based on one or more conditions. The applicable time may be a period after acknowledgement of the MAC-CE or correspond to a certain measurement sample of a new PL RS a period after acknowledgement of the MAC-CE. The one or more conditions may relate to a total configured number of PL RS for the UE, whether a MAC-CE based PL RS activation feature is enabled, among others.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications systems, a base station may perform signaling to indicate information related to ports assigned to one or more UEs. The base station may also signal information regarding ports shared with other UEs, which the UE may use when performing channel estimation. In some examples, the base station may signal a number of ports used per sub-band to the UE or a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports used by the UE. The base station may signal a sub-set of a total number of ports that are shared by other UEs overlapping with the resource allocation of the UE. The signaling may indicate a number of combs used by the base station in the resource allocation for the UE.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station and wireless device may communicate capability information associated with a wireless device. The capability information may include information indicating support for an Ethernet type packet data unit session or header parameter compression. An Ethernet type packet data unit session may be instantiated based on the capability information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a downlink control message (e.g., an uplink grant) that schedules resources for transmitting repetitions of an uplink channel transmission, where each of the repetitions of the uplink channel transmission may correspond to a single transport block. The UE may determine a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources based on the downlink control message, and transmit different instances of the uplink channel transmission repetitions according to different SRS resources. The described examples for uplink repetitions may support various techniques for uplink coverage enhancement and diversity gains.

Provided is a transmitter which improves the flexibility of SRS resource allocation without increasing the amount of signaling for notifying the cyclic shift amount. In the transmitter, with regard to each basic shift amount candidate group having a basic shift amount from 0 to N−1, a transmission control unit (206) specifies the actual shift amount imparted to a cyclic shift sequence used in scrambling a reference signal transmitted from each antenna port, said specification being performed based on a table in which cyclic shift amount candidates correspond to each antenna port, and based on setting information transmitted from a base station (100). With regard to basic shift amount candidates for shift amount X, the table differentiates between an offset pattern comprising offset values for cyclic shift amount candidates corresponding to each antenna port and an offset pattern corresponding to basic shift amount candidates of X+N/2.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for quasi co-location (QCL) reference signals for uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. An example method generally includes receiving uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indicating one or more quasi co-location (QCL) types, from a plurality of uplink QCL types, for one or more source reference signals (RSs); and sending an uplink transmission in accordance with the uplink TCI.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for a wireless communication device to configure and indicate one or more beams for sidelink communication with another wireless communication device. The sidelink communication can include first stage sidelink control information (SCI) and second stage SCI that may be communicated on a first beam configured on the wireless communication devices. The sidelink communication can further include sidelink data traffic that may be communication on a second beam. The second beam may be the first beam or a different beam based on at least one of a beam capability of at least the first wireless communication device or a gap between the sidelink data traffic and at least one of the first stage SCI or the second stage SCI.

Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention facilitate secure communication by altering the set of symbol waveforms that may be in use in particular symbol times defined herein as Symbol Waveform Hopping. SWH may be enabled by selecting two or more modulation formats that have sufficiently comparable communication performance (e.g., occupied bandwidth and signal power efficiency), but characterized by symbol waveform alphabet that include different symbol waveform, so that the overall transmission/communication performance of data stream in a signal transmission channel of the system is not significantly affected by switching between modulation formats. Some or all of the symbol waveforms in each alphabet may not be present in other alphabets.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rate matching of synchronization signal block (SSB) transmissions in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving configuration information indicating a beam-specific rate matching pattern for at least one beam of a plurality of beams configured for the UE, wherein a SSB transmission corresponding to each of the plurality of beams is configured using the same set of frequencies, receiving a data channel using the at least one beam, and processing the data channel based on the rate matching pattern.
