Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for antenna selection at a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a set of available antennas for uplink and downlink communications, and may select a first subset of antennas for uplink communications and a second subset of antennas for downlink communications. The first subset of antennas may be based on one or more uplink metrics, and the second subset of antennas may be based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or any combinations thereof.

A reception-side apparatus includes: M receive antennas; and a processor configured to execute a first process of acquiring a first signal received from a first transmission-side apparatus from among signals simultaneously received from the N transmission-side apparatuses by receive diversity processing, and acquiring first data by demodulating and decoding the first signal. In the case of N>M, the processor acquires, for each of all patterns of a combination of a first signal, second signals from M−1 transmission-side apparatuses which are to be cancelled by receive diversity processing and third signals from N−M transmission-side apparatuses which are not to be cancelled by the receive diversity processing, a power ratio of power of the first signal relative to total power of the second and third signals based on a predetermined weight and a channel estimate of each signal, and selects a combination with the largest power ratio from among all the patterns.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for channel state information (CSI) feedback for multiple discrete Fourier transform (DFT) beams on multiple transmission layers. A user equipment (UE) may report a total number of non-zero power DFT beams across all of the transmission layers. The UE may be configured with a total number of leading beams (K.sub.total) across all of the transmission layers for which to provide high quantization feedback. When the total number of non-zero DFT beams across all the transmission layers exceeds the configured total number of leading beams across all the transmission layers, the UE may report high-resolution quantization feedback for K.sub.total non-zero power precoding coefficients having the highest amplitude coefficients, and may report low-resolution quantization feedback for the remaining non-zero power precoding coefficients. A base station may receive the CSI feedback to determine a precoding matrix.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a first uplink signal to a base station using a first antenna subarray configuration that is associated with a first quasi co-location (QCL) relationship. The UE may determine to switch from using the first antenna subarray configuration to using a second antenna subarray configuration associated with a second QCL relationship based on power, thermal, architectural, or channel conditions, or a combination thereof. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication of the second QCL relationship in response to determining to switch subarray configurations. The UE may transmit a second uplink signal using the second antenna subarray to the base station. In some cases, the first QCL relationship and the second QCL relationship may be a QCL-Type A, QCL-Type B, QCL-Type C, or QCL-Type D.

According to one or more embodiments, a wireless device configured to report one of a plurality of predefined Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) values is provided. A maximum CQI value of the plurality of predefined CQI values corresponds to any one of a plurality of signal characteristic values greater than or equal to a threshold signal characteristic value. The wireless device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a first signal characteristic value associated with a received signal. The processing circuitry is further configured to if the first signal characteristic value is greater than or equal to the threshold signal characteristic value associated with the maximum CQI value, generate a CQI report indicating: the maximum CQI value, and a power backoff from the first signal characteristic value that results in the threshold signal characteristic value.

Disclosed are a transmission method and device, and a computer readable storage medium. The transmission method includes steps described below. A transmission mode of a first communication node is determined; at least one of a codebook or a transmission power ratio is determined according to the transmission mode; and a transmission is sent according to at least one of the codebook or the transmission power ratio.

A terminal is disclosed including a processor that starts a timer based on a beam failure instance counter; a receiver that receives a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam; and a transmitter that, if the reference signal has layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before the timer expires, and if there is at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal, transmits a random access preamble using the at least one of CFRA resources. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a base station are also disclosed.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may configure, before transmitting a physical downlink shared channel communication, a first resource and a second resource. The BS may transmit the physical downlink shared channel communication using the first resource. The BS may selectively use, after transmitting the physical downlink shared channel communication, the second resource for the reference signal transmission for subband selection and beam selection based at least in part on whether a retransmission event is detected. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for beam switching after Listen-Before-Talk (“LBT”) procedure. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that is operable on unlicensed spectrum, wherein the transceiver supports a plurality of device panels. The processor performs a first LBT procedure using omni-directional sensing to acquire a first Channel Occupancy Time (“COT”) and performs a first uplink transmission of a first transport block (“TB”) during the first COT and using a first device panel in response to successful LBT. Here, the first uplink transmission uses a first portion of the first COT. The processor performs a directional LBT procedure for a second device panel to acquire a remaining portion of the first COT.

A non-personal basic service set control point/access point (non-PCP/AP) communication apparatus includes a reception circuit, an estimation circuit, and a transmission circuit. The reception circuit receives a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) Beacon frame including a sector sweep (SSW) field, the SSW field including a Parameter subfield indicating a value obtained by using a transmission Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of a PCP/AP communication partner apparatus and a reception antenna gain of the PCP/AP communication partner apparatus. The estimation circuit estimates an expected reception power at the PCP/AP communication partner apparatus by using the value of the Parameter subfield, and checks inequality between the estimated expected reception power and a receiver sensitivity value. The transmission circuit transmits a frame for Association Beamforming Training (A-BFT) if the estimated expected reception power is larger than the receive sensitivity value.
