    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a configuration of a retransmission of a first message of a random access procedure based on a set of transmission configuration options transmitted by a base station. For example, the UE may transmit the first message but may reconfigure the first message for the retransmission based on the transmission configuration options. Additionally, the UE may configure a set of transmission configuration states based on the transmission configuration options for transmitting/retransmitting the first message. In some cases, the UE may determine to switch transmission configuration states based on a trigger signaled by the base station and/or a determination by the UE. Additionally, the UE may transmit an indication of a log of state transitions performed prior to a retransmission of the first message to facilitate combining of the retransmissions at the base station.

    Abstract: A low complexity user equipment (UE) may be in communication with another UE (e.g., with a premium UE or more capable UE) via a device-to-device communication link (e.g., via sidelink), and the low complexity UE may leverage the device-to-device link to improve (e.g., simplify, expedite, etc.) random access procedures performed by the low complexity UE. For example, a low complexity UE may request contention free random access (CFRA) resources via the device-to-device link with another UE. Another device (e.g., another UE in device-to-device communication with the low complexity UE) may receive the request from the low complexity UE and forward the request to the network (e.g., to a base station). The network may then configure CFRA resources for the low complexity UE. Upon receiving the CFRA configuration, the low complexity UE may perform a random access procedure (e.g., a CFRA procedure) with the network (e.g., with the base station) accordingly.

    Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may apply a scaling factor to a transport block of a first size, where the scaling factor may increase the transport block from the first size to a second size. The base station may interleave a set of parts of the transport block of the second size across a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) in accordance with a transport block allocation pattern, where the set of TTIs may be contiguous or separated from each other by one or more intervening intervals. The base station may transmit, to a user equipment, an indication of the transport block allocation pattern applied to the transport block of the second size, and may transmit the set of parts of the transport block of the second size across the set of TTIs in accordance with the transport block allocation pattern.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques may provide for handling of priority indications in scenarios where simultaneous physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is supported. For example, wireless communications systems may configure (e.g., via radio resource control (RRC) signaling) simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH across two or more carriers, where piggybacking of feedback information on uplink shared channel transmission may be disabled. Further, a grant (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PUSCH transmission) may include a priority index field to indicate a priority associated with a transmission or resources scheduled by the grant. The described techniques may provide for efficient handling of priority indications associated with scheduled transmissions that overlap when simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH is supported (e.g., techniques are provided for performing or dropping scheduled transmissions that overlap when simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH is enabled based on any priority indications associated with the overlapping scheduled transmissions).
