Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support allocation of a group-based configured uplink resource for idle mode uplink transmissions. User equipments (UEs) may be grouped geographically and/or functionally and may have sidelink communications among themselves, and may be in an inactive mode or an idle mode. A base station may allocation one or multiple configured uplink resources to the group of UEs, where the base station may be aware of the group based on signaling from a UE of the group. The group of UEs may determine which UE of the group may use the allocated resources, and in which occasions. Based on the determination, one or more UEs of the group may transmit an uplink message to the base station using the configured uplink resource assigned to the group.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a starting symbol of a radio frequency (RF) retuning gap between a first plurality of repetitions of an uplink transmission in a first frequency hop and a second plurality of repetitions of the uplink transmission in a second frequency hop. The starting symbol of the RF retuning gap is based at least in part on a starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions and a quantity of symbols included in the RF retuning gap. The UE may determine an ending symbol of the RF retuning gap based at least in part on the starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions. The UE may perform RF retuning during the RF retuning gap. Numerous other aspects are provided.

In order to improve the selection of search space candidates for a downlink control channel, an apparatus determines a set of decoding candidates of a lower aggregation level for a downlink control channel based on a random selection from a plurality of potential decoding candidates, wherein the plurality of potential decoding candidates are defined from a second set of decoding candidates of a higher aggregation level. The apparatus then attempts to decode the downlink control channel based on determined sets of decoding candidates of different aggregation levels. The downlink control channel may comprise a PDCCH.

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). The apparatus determines that a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM of the UE share a cross switch and determines whether to modify concurrent operation of the first SIM or the second SIM based, at least in part, on a determination that the first SIM and the second SIM of the UE share the cross-switch. The concurrent operation of the first SIM and the second SIM may include the first SIM performing SRS antenna switching and the second SIM performing an idle mode activity.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently signaling configurations of physical resources and transmission parameters to a user equipment (UE) for small data transmissions (for example, data transmissions in an inactive or idle state). A base station may broadcast or multicast downlink control information (DCI) in one or more control channels that schedules data transmissions in a set of data channels. The base station may then multicast one or more configurations in each of the data channels, and a UE may decode one of the data channels to determine a configuration for a small data transmission. Because the configurations may be transmitted in the data channels in addition to system information or paging information, a base station may have access to sufficient resources to provide suitable configurations to a UE for communications in an inactive or idle state.

Communication between multi-link devices may be via a plurality of links. A multi-link device may be in a sleep state, with respect to one or more links, such as for power conservation purposes. A sleep state, for the one or more links, may be rescheduled, using signaling via another link. Based on the rescheduling, the multi-link device may transition to an awake state, with respect to the one or more links, to facilitate transmission and/or reception via the one or more links.

This application provides a signal transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a first device, configuration information sent by a third device and used to indicate a quantity of times for which the third device sends a signal group, in other words, learning in advance, based on the configuration information, a quantity of receive beams that can be measured, and selecting, after receiving first signals of the quantity an optimal receive beam from receive beams that have been detected, to avoid continuously detecting more first signals for selection.

The technologies described herein are generally directed to validating the integration of new carrier components at base station equipment, e.g., in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, confirming based on installation data, an installation milestone of an installation of a carrier component at base station equipment, resulting in a confirmed milestone. The method can further include, based on the confirmed milestone, identifying for an evaluation of the installation of the carrier component, a criterion associated with a characteristic of operation of the base station equipment. Further, the method can include based on a result of evaluation of the installation, sending, by the network equipment, a validation signal to the base station equipment indicating that the installation of the carrier component is validated.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a capability of the UE relating to a carrier configuration of the UE, wherein the carrier configuration relates to carriers of at least two different numerologies; and transmit information identifying the capability, wherein the information identifying the capability identifies a bandwidth or number of carriers that is supported for carriers of a first numerology and one or more scaling values associated with one or more numerologies other than the first numerology. A base station may receive information identifying a capability of a UE relating to a carrier configuration of the UE, wherein the carrier configuration relates to carriers of at least two different numerologies; and determine a configuration for communication with the UE based at least in part on the information identifying the capability. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an autonomous uplink (AUL) transmission to a base station using a configured resource set, the AUL transmission comprising reference signals and data signals. The UE may determine whether a response signal was received from the base station in response to the AUL transmission. The UE may determine whether the response signal indicates that the base station received the reference signals, or the reference signals and the data signals. The UE may select an uplink transmission scheme to use for subsequent transmissions to the base station, the selected uplink transmission scheme based at least in part on the determination of whether the response signal was received from the base station and whether the response signal indicates that the base station received the reference signals or the reference signals and the data signals.
