Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of resources, in a set of physical multicast channel symbols, for receiving a first type of reference signal and a second type of reference signal. The UE may receive one or more reference signal transmissions in accordance with the set of resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The apparatus may be a UE. The UE may be configured to measure, over a time interval, a plurality of instances of a signal received from a serving device (e.g., a base station or serving UE). The UE may further be configured to adjust, based on at least two previously measured instances of the signal, a sampling rate associated with the signal received from the serving device. The UE may further be configured to maintain a particular number (e.g., 2-10) of previously measured instances of the signal, where adjusting the sampling rate is based on the maintained particular number of previously measured instances. The particular number of previously measured instances of the signal may be used to calculate a gradient of the measurements to identify a sampling rate associated with the calculated gradient.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device may receive control signaling indicating a downlink reference signal configuration, for example, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration. The communication device may receive a downlink reference signal (e.g., a DMRS) over a downlink control channel (e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)) during an initial symbol duration of a transmission time interval (TTI). The downlink reference signal may include a set of bits including a first subset of bits including network temporary identifier bits and a second subset of bits including constellation bits associated with a downlink data channel (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)). The communication device may process the downlink reference signal (e.g., a DMRS) based on the downlink reference signal configuration (e.g., a DMRS configuration).

Disclosed are a signal transmission method and apparatus for transmitting a PRS signal in a 5G NR system, enabling a PRS to be applied to terminal positioning in a 5G NR system. Provided are a signal transmission method, comprising: determining positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration information preset for a cell; and sending a PRS signal to a terminal according to the PRS configuration information.

Some aspects described herein relate to receiving, in a configuration, a slot format indication, wherein the slot format indication includes directional information indicating spatial directions associated with communications based on the slot format, determining, for a slot indicated by the slot format indication and based on the directional information, the spatial direction, and communicating, within the slot and based on the spatial direction, with one or more nodes.

A terminal (200) includes a receiving unit (203) that receives a reference signal within a specified measurement period, a control unit (213) that acquires an average or statistical information of layer 1 reception qualities of the reference signal, the layer 1 reception qualities being measured within the measurement period, and a transmitting unit (201) that transmits the average or the statistical information to a communication node (100a or 100b).

A radio apparatus is configured to correlate signal data with stored synchronization data to generate synchronization correlation data. The signal data represents a received radio-frequency signal that encodes a data frame having a synchronization preamble comprising a plurality of instances of a predetermined synchronization sequence. The stored synchronization data represents the predetermined synchronization sequence. The synchronization correlation data is generated by correlating signal data representing the synchronization preamble with the stored synchronization data. While generating the synchronization correlation data, the radio apparatus identifies a first set of one or more peaks in the synchronization correlation data, and determines first synchronization information from the first set of one or more peaks. After generating more of the synchronization correlation data, the radio apparatus identifies a second set of one or more peaks in the synchronization correlation data, and determines second synchronization information from the second set of one or more peaks.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE). Disclosed is a method of configuring a reference signal for a stationary wireless link in a wireless network, wherein the method of configuring comprises the step of: activating a reference signal overhead reduction mode if a predetermined condition is met.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station and/or a user equipment may determine a time domain resource pattern for a set of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs), wherein the set of DMRSs is included in a Type-B physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A base station may transmit, and the user equipment may receive, the set of DMRSs using a set of resources determined based at least in part on the time domain resource pattern. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A user equipment (UE) establishes a connected discontinuous reception cycle including one or more onDurations with a currently camped base station. When the one or more onDurations is scheduled, the UE utilizes an active mode of processing and when the one or more onDurations are not scheduled the UE utilizes a sleep mode of inactivity. The UE receives an indication of a plurality of reference signals that are to be transmitted during a first onDuration, each reference signal is (i) to be included in a transmitter beam and (ii) associated with an uplink resource, receives a plurality of reference signals, each reference signal being associated with one of the transmitter beams, selects one of the plurality of transmitter beams based on measuring the included reference signal and transmits an indication of the selected one of the plurality of transmitter beams on the uplink resource associated with the included reference signal.
