TECHNIQUES FOR INTRA-MESSAGE ANTENNA SELECTION DIVERSITY
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to use intra-message antenna selection diversity (ASD). The UE may transmit a first portion of a scheduled message within a time interval using a first antenna element of the UE based on an intra-message antenna diversity configuration. The intra-message antenna diversity configuration may indicate a set of antennas available for transmission of the scheduled message. In some cases, the UE may transmit, within the same time interval, at least a portion of the scheduled message using at least a second antenna element of the UE that is different from the first antenna element. In some cases, a receiving UE may decode the first portion and the second portion of the scheduled message based on the intra-message antenna diversity configuration.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED MIMO COMMUNICATIONS
The disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for distributed relay multiple-in multiple-out (DR-MIMO) communications. The system can have a master transmit node that transmits a message to a master receive node via one or more relay nodes. The relay nodes can each relay a portion of the message, performing a time or frequency shift along with the relay. The multiple relay nodes can function as a distributed antenna array for one or both of the master transmit node and the master receive node, forming a transmit group and/or a receive group. The transmit group and the receive group can thus provide MIMO capabilities to the master transmit node and the master receive node. The master transmit node can transmit multiple spatial streams through distributed relay nodes. The master receive node can receive multiple data streams from distributed relay nodes and perform MIMO detection.
