Description

PARTIAL PRECODING RESOURCE BLOCK GROUP EXTENSION FOR BETTER CELL CAPACITY TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly, to a method of wireless communication. INTRODUCTION [0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems. [0003] These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. An example telecommunication standard is 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of a continuous mobile broadband evolution promulgated by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to meet new requirements associated with latency, reliability, security, scalability (e.g., with Internet of Things (IoT)), and other requirements. 5G NR includes services associated with enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Some aspects of 5G NR may be based on the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. There exists a need for further improvements in 5G NR technology. These improvements may also be applicable to other multi-access technologies and the telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION id="p-22" id="p-22" id="p-22" id="p-22" id="p-22"
[0022] In some aspects of wireless communication, a PRG may include a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and a same precoding may be applied to each PRB in a PRG. The PRG size, or granularity, may be a configurable value (e.g., a PRG size may be 2, 4, or more PRBs). Each PRG may include a set of contiguous PRBs for which a same precoding is applied, where a precoding applied to different PRGs may be different. A PRG grid, in some aspects, may be aligned with a first PRB of a carrier bandwidth (e.g., a contiguous set of PRGs may begin at a first PRB of the carrier bandwidth). A BWP may be allocated within the carrier bandwidth that does not align with boundaries of the PRGs of the PRG grid (e.g., the BWP may begin and/or end in the middle of a PRG). For example, for a PRG size of 4 PRBs and a BWP allocation of 273 PRBs (or any number of PRBs that is not divisible by the size of a PRG), the BWP may begin and/or end in the middle of a PRG (e.g., a first and/or last PRG may be a partial PRG of a different size than the configured PRG size). In some aspects, the data transmitted via the partial PRG may be subject to a larger bit error rate (BER) or block error rate (BLER) based on being associated with a smaller processing gain for channel estimation based on the smaller number of PRBs in the PRG. [0023] In some aspects, a partial PRG may be a result of a carrier BW which is not an integer multiple of a PRG size, a misalignment between one or more BWP edges and the PRG grid, a misalignment between one or more edges of a set of allocated physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) PRBs and the PRG grid. In some aspects, the use of partial PRGs produces inferior channel estimation compared to the use of a nominal PRG size (e.g., a configured PRG size). Consequently, a code block which overlaps with, or is transmitted via, a partial PRG (which may be referred to as an ‘edge code block’), in some aspects, may introduce a higher code block error rate than code block error rate associated with other, non-edge code blocks. Accordingly, edge code blocks, in some aspects, may be the limiting factor when attempting to achieve a suitable or desired maximum, or threshold, BLER (e.g., a transport block error rate of 10%). In some aspects, a trivial solution for avoiding the use of a partial PRG may be through PRB allocation. For example, in association with a desired resource allocation of 273 PRBs, an allocation of 272 PRBs or 274 PRBs for a PRG size of 2 PRBs (or 276 PRBs for a PRG size of 4) aligned with a PRG edge may prevent the use of a partial PRB. However, the downside of such approach is a loss of effective BWP bandwidth or overallocation of resources with the effect increasing with larger PRG size. [0024] Various aspects relate generally to mitigating the problems associated with the use of partial PRGs. Some aspects more specifically relate to the use of an extended PRG to remedy the issues associated with the use of partial PRGs. The extended PRG, in some aspects, may include a combination of a partial PRG at the edge of a BWP (or set of allocated resources within a BWP) with an adjacent PRG within the BWP (or a part of the adjacent PRG), where all the PRBs of the extended PRG have a same precoding. In some examples, a wireless device may be configured to receive an encoded communication within a BWP having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the bandwidth part, perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG, and decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. [0025] Particular aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to realize one or more of the following potential advantages. In some examples, by using a same precoding and/or channel estimation for the combination of the first PRG and the partial PRG (e.g., an extended PRG), the described techniques can be used to improve a BER or BLER when using, or including, one or more partial PRGs in a BWP associated with, or a set of allocated resources for, a particular communication. [0026] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the drawings describes various configurations and does not represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts. [0027] Several aspects of telecommunication systems are presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods are described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. [0028] By way of example, an element, or any portion of an element, or any combination of elements may be implemented as a "processing system" that includes one or more processors. When multiple processors are implemented, the multiple processors may perform the functions individually or in combination. Examples of processors include microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, systems on a chip (SoC), baseband processors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functionality described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in the processing system may execute software. Software, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise, shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, or any combination thereof. [0029] Accordingly, in one or more example aspects, implementations, and/or use cases, the functions described may be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functions may be stored on or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage media may be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example, such computer-readable media can include a random-access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of the types of computer-readable media, or any other medium that can be used to store computer executable code in the form of instructions or data structures that can be accessed by a computer. [0030] While aspects, implementations, and/or use cases are described in this application by illustration to some examples, additional or different aspects, implementations and/or use cases may come about in many different arrangements and scenarios. Aspects, implementations, and/or use cases described herein may be implemented across many differing platform types, devices, systems, shapes, sizes, and packaging arrangements. For example, aspects, implementations, and/or use cases may come about via integrated chip implementations and other non-module-component based devices (e.g., end-user devices, vehicles, communication devices, computing devices, industrial equipment, retail/purchasing devices, medical devices, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled devices, etc.). While some examples may or may not be specifically directed to use cases or applications, a wide assortment of applicability of described examples may occur. Aspects, implementations, and/or use cases may range a spectrum from chip-level or modular components to non-modular, non-chip-level implementations and further to aggregate, distributed, or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices or systems incorporating one or more techniques herein. In some practical settings, devices incorporating described aspects and features may also include additional components and features for implementation and practice of claimed and described aspect. For example, transmission and reception of wireless signals necessarily includes a number of components for analog and digital purposes (e.g., hardware components including antenna, RF-chains, power amplifiers, modulators, buffer, processor(s), interleaver, adders/summers, etc.). Techniques described herein may be practiced in a wide variety of devices, chip-level components, systems, distributed arrangements, aggregated or disaggregated components, end-user devices, etc. of varying sizes, shapes, and constitution. [0031] Deployment of communication systems, such as 5G NR systems, may be arranged in multiple manners with various components or constituent parts. In a 5G NR system, or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a radio access network (RAN) node, a core network node, a network element, or a network equipment, such as a base station (BS), or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality, may be implemented in an aggregated or disaggregated architecture. For example, a BS (such as a Node B (NB), evolved NB (eNB), NR BS, 5G NB, access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), or a cell, etc.) may be implemented as an aggregated base station (also known as a standalone BS or a monolithic BS) or a disaggregated base station. [0032] An aggregated base station may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node. A disaggregated base station may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more units (such as one or more central or centralized units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)). In some aspects, a CU may be implemented within a RAN node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed throughout one or multiple other RAN nodes. The DUs may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU and RU can be implemented as virtual units, i.e., a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU). [0033] Base station operation or network design may consider aggregation characteristics of base station functionality. For example, disaggregated base stations may be utilized in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as the network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)). Disaggregation may include distributing functionality across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as distributing functionality for at least one unit virtually, which can enable flexibility in network design. The various units of the disaggregated base station, or disaggregated RAN architecture, can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit. [0034] FIG. 1 is a diagram 100 illustrating an example of a wireless communications system and an access network. The illustrated wireless communications system includes a disaggregated base station architecture. The disaggregated base station architecture may include one or more CUs 110 that can communicate directly with a core network 120 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 120 through one or more disaggregated base station units (such as a Near-Real Time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) 125 via an E2 link, or a Non-Real Time (Non-RT) RIC 115 associated with a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) Framework 105, or both). A CU 110 may communicate with one or more DUs 130 via respective midhaul links, such as an F1 interface. The DUs 130 may communicate with one or more RUs 140 via respective fronthaul links. The RUs 140 may communicate with respective UEs 104 via one or more radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, the UE 104 may be simultaneously served by multiple RUs 140. [0035] Each of the units, i.e., the CUs 110, the DUs 130, the RUs 140, as well as the Near-RT RICs 125, the Non-RT RICs 115, and the SMO Framework 105, may include one or more interfaces or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or to transmit signals, data, or information (collectively, signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units, or an associated processor or controller providing instructions to the communication interfaces of the units, can be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via the transmission medium. For example, the units can include a wired interface configured to receive or to transmit signals over a wired transmission medium to one or more of the other units. Additionally, the units can include a wireless interface, which may include a receiver, a transmitter, or a transceiver (such as an RF transceiver), configured to receive or to transmit signals, or both, over a wireless transmission medium to one or more of the other units. [0036] In some aspects, the CU 110 may host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions can include radio resource control (RRC), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), or the like. Each control function can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 110. The CU 1may be configured to handle user plane functionality (i.e., Central Unit – User Plane (CU-UP)), control plane functionality (i.e., Central Unit – Control Plane (CU-CP)), or a combination thereof. In some implementations, the CU 110 can be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. The CU-UP unit can communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP unit via an interface, such as an Einterface when implemented in an O-RAN configuration. The CU 110 can be implemented to communicate with the DU 130, as necessary, for network control and signaling. [0037] The DU 130 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions to control the operation of one or more RUs 140. In some aspects, the DU 130 may host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers (such as modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation, demodulation, or the like) depending, at least in part, on a functional split, such as those defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, the DU 130 may further host one or more low PHY layers. Each layer (or module) can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 130, or with the control functions hosted by the CU 110. [0038] Lower-layer functionality can be implemented by one or more RUs 140. In some deployments, an RU 140, controlled by a DU 130, may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions, or low-PHY layer functions (such as performing fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, or the like), or both, based at least in part on the functional split, such as a lower layer functional split. In such an architecture, the RU(s) 140 can be implemented to handle over the air (OTA) communication with one or more UEs 104. In some implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU(s) 1can be controlled by the corresponding DU 130. In some scenarios, this configuration can enable the DU(s) 130 and the CU 110 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture. [0039] The SMO Framework 105 may be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of non-virtualized and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO Framework 105 may be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements that may be managed via an operations and maintenance interface (such as an O1 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO Framework 105 may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (such as an open cloud (O-Cloud) 190) to perform network element life cycle management (such as to instantiate virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface (such as an O2 interface). Such virtualized network elements can include, but are not limited to, CUs 110, DUs 130, RUs 140 and Near-RT RICs 125. In some implementations, the SMO Framework 105 can communicate with a hardware aspect of a 4G RAN, such as an open eNB (O-eNB) 111, via an O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO Framework 105 can communicate directly with one or more RUs 140 via an Ointerface. The SMO Framework 105 also may include a Non-RT RIC 115 configured to support functionality of the SMO Framework 105. [0040] The Non-RT RIC 115 may be configured to include a logical function that enables non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) (AI/ML) workflows including model training and updates, or policy-based guidance of applications/features in the Near-RT RIC 125. The Non-RT RIC 115 may be coupled to or communicate with (such as via an A1 interface) the Near-RT RIC 125. The Near-RT RIC 125 may be configured to include a logical function that enables near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions over an interface (such as via an E2 interface) connecting one or more CUs 110, one or more DUs 130, or both, as well as an O-eNB, with the Near-RT RIC 125. [0041] In some implementations, to generate AI/ML models to be deployed in the Near-RT RIC 125, the Non-RT RIC 115 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from external servers. Such information may be utilized by the Near-RT RIC 125 and may be received at the SMO Framework 105 or the Non-RT RIC 1from non-network data sources or from network functions. In some examples, the Non-RT RIC 115 or the Near-RT RIC 125 may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the Non-RT RIC 115 may monitor long-term trends and patterns for performance and employ AI/ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO Framework 105 (such as reconfiguration via O1) or via creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 policies). [0042] At least one of the CU 110, the DU 130, and the RU 140 may be referred to as a base station 102. Accordingly, a base station 102 may include one or more of the CU 110, the DU 130, and the RU 140 (each component indicated with dotted lines to signify that each component may or may not be included in the base station 102). The base station 102 provides an access point to the core network 120 for a UE 104. The base station 102 may include macrocells (high power cellular base station) and/or small cells (low power cellular base station). The small cells include femtocells, picocells, and microcells. A network that includes both small cell and macrocells may be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneous network may also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which may provide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links between the RUs 140 and the UEs 104 may include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmissions from a UE 104 to an RU 140 and/or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link) transmissions from an RU 140 to a UE 104. The communication links may use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and/or transmit diversity. The communication links may be through one or more carriers. The base station 102 / UEs 104 may use spectrum up to Y MHz (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc. MHz) bandwidth per carrier allocated in a carrier aggregation of up to a total of Yx MHz (x component carriers) used for transmission in each direction. The carriers may or may not be adjacent to each other. Allocation of carriers may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (e.g., more or fewer carriers may be allocated for DL than for UL). The component carriers may include a primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers. A primary component carrier may be referred to as a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary component carrier may be referred to as a secondary cell (SCell). id="p-43" id="p-43" id="p-43" id="p-43" id="p-43"
[0043] Certain UEs 104 may communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 may use the DL/UL wireless wide area network (WWAN) spectrum. The D2D communication link 1may use one or more sidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). D2D communication may be through a variety of wireless D2D communications systems, such as for example, Bluetooth™ (Bluetooth is a trademark of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)), Wi-Fi™ (Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance) based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR. [0044] The wireless communications system may further include a Wi-Fi AP 150 in communication with UEs 104 (also referred to as Wi-Fi stations (STAs)) via communication link 154, e.g., in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum or the like. When communicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the UEs 104 / AP 1may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating in order to determine whether the channel is available. [0045] The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided, based on frequency/wavelength, into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz – 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz – 52.6 GHz). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FRis often referred to (interchangeably) as a "sub-6 GHz" band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a "millimeter wave" band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz – 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a "millimeter wave" band. [0046] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz – 24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FRcharacteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR2-2 (52.6 GHz – 71 GHz), FR4 (71 GHz – 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz – 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band. [0047] With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term "sub-GHz" or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term "millimeter wave" or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR2-2, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. [0048] The base station 102 and the UE 104 may each include a plurality of antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and/or antenna arrays to facilitate beamforming. The base station 102 may transmit a beamformed signal 182 to the UE 104 in one or more transmit directions. The UE 104 may receive the beamformed signal from the base station 102 in one or more receive directions. The UE 104 may also transmit a beamformed signal 184 to the base station 102 in one or more transmit directions. The base station 102 may receive the beamformed signal from the UE 104 in one or more receive directions. The base station 102 / UE 104 may perform beam training to determine the best receive and transmit directions for each of the base station 102 / UE 104. The transmit and receive directions for the base station 102 may or may not be the same. The transmit and receive directions for the UE 104 may or may not be the same. [0049] The base station 102 may include and/or be referred to as a gNB, Node B, eNB, an access point, a base transceiver station, a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a transceiver function, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a TRP, network node, network entity, network equipment, or some other suitable terminology. The base station 102 can be implemented as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, a sidelink node, an aggregated (monolithic) base station with a baseband unit (BBU) (including a CU and a DU) and an RU, or as a disaggregated base station including one or more of a CU, a DU, and/or an RU. The set of base stations, which may include disaggregated base stations and/or aggregated base stations, may be referred to as next generation (NG) RAN (NG-RAN). id="p-50" id="p-50" id="p-50" id="p-50" id="p-50"
[0050] The core network 120 may include an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) 161, a Session Management Function (SMF) 162, a User Plane Function (UPF) 163, a Unified Data Management (UDM) 164, one or more location servers 168, and other functional entities. The AMF 161 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the core network 120. The AMF 161 supports registration management, connection management, mobility management, and other functions. The SMF 162 supports session management and other functions. The UPF 163 supports packet routing, packet forwarding, and other functions. The UDM 1supports the generation of authentication and key agreement (AKA) credentials, user identification handling, access authorization, and subscription management. The one or more location servers 168 are illustrated as including a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) 165 and a Location Management Function (LMF) 166. However, generally, the one or more location servers 168 may include one or more location/positioning servers, which may include one or more of the GMLC 165, the LMF 166, a position determination entity (PDE), a serving mobile location center (SMLC), a mobile positioning center (MPC), or the like. The GMLC 165 and the LMF 166 support UE location services. The GMLC 165 provides an interface for clients/applications (e.g., emergency services) for accessing UE positioning information. The LMF 166 receives measurements and assistance information from the NG-RAN and the UE 104 via the AMF 161 to compute the position of the UE 104. The NG-RAN may utilize one or more positioning methods in order to determine the position of the UE 104. Positioning the UE 104 may involve signal measurements, a position estimate, and an optional velocity computation based on the measurements. The signal measurements may be made by the UE 104 and/or the base station 1serving the UE 104. The signals measured may be based on one or more of a satellite positioning system (SPS) 170 (e.g., one or more of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), global position system (GPS), non-terrestrial network (NTN), or other satellite position/location system), LTE signals, wireless local area network (WLAN) signals, Bluetooth signals, a terrestrial beacon system (TBS), sensor-based information (e.g., barometric pressure sensor, motion sensor), NR enhanced cell ID (NR E-CID) methods, NR signals (e.g., multi-round trip time (Multi-RTT), DL angle-of-departure (DL-AoD), DL time difference of arrival (DL-TDOA), UL time difference of arrival (UL-TDOA), and UL angle-of-arrival (UL-AoA) positioning), and/or other systems/signals/sensors. [0051] Examples of UEs 104 include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor/actuator, a display, or any other similar functioning device. Some of the UEs 104 may be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicles, heart monitor, etc.). The UE 104 may also be referred to as a station, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communications device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable terminology. In some scenarios, the term UE may also apply to one or more companion devices such as in a device constellation arrangement. One or more of these devices may collectively access the network and/or individually access the network. [0052] Referring again to FIG. 1, in certain aspects, the UE 104 may have a partial PRG decoding component 198 that may be configured to receive an encoded communication within a BWP having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the BWP, perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PR, and decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. In certain aspects, the base station 102 may have a partial PRG encoding component 199 that may be configured to allocate, for a wireless device, a BWP comprising a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the BWP, and output, based on a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding, an encoded communication having a first precoding for both the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. Although the following description may be focused on 5G NR, the concepts described herein may be applicable to other similar areas, such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, and other wireless technologies. id="p-53" id="p-53" id="p-53" id="p-53" id="p-53"
[0053] FIG. 2A is a diagram 200 illustrating an example of a first subframe within a 5G NR frame structure. FIG. 2B is a diagram 230 illustrating an example of DL channels within a 5G NR subframe. FIG. 2C is a diagram 250 illustrating an example of a second subframe within a 5G NR frame structure. FIG. 2D is a diagram 2illustrating an example of UL channels within a 5G NR subframe. The 5G NR frame structure may be frequency division duplexed (FDD) in which for a particular set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth), subframes within the set of subcarriers are dedicated for either DL or UL, or may be time division duplexed (TDD) in which for a particular set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth), subframes within the set of subcarriers are dedicated for both DL and UL. In the examples provided by FIGs. 2A, 2C, the 5G NR frame structure is assumed to be TDD, with subframe 4 being configured with slot format 28 (with mostly DL), where D is DL, U is UL, and F is flexible for use between DL/UL, and subframe 3 being configured with slot format (with all UL). While subframes 3, 4 are shown with slot formats 1, 28, respectively, any particular subframe may be configured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slot formats 0, 1 are all DL, UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-include a mix of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. UEs are configured with the slot format (dynamically through DL control information (DCI), or semi-statically/statically through radio resource control (RRC) signaling) through a received slot format indicator (SFI). Note that the description infra applies also to a 5G NR frame structure that is TDD. [0054] FIGs. 2A-2D illustrate a frame structure, and the aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to other wireless communication technologies, which may have a different frame structure and/or different channels. A frame (10 ms) may be divided into 10 equally sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe may include one or more time slots. Subframes may also include mini-slots, which may include 7, 4, or 2 symbols. Each slot may include 14 or 12 symbols, depending on whether the cyclic prefix (CP) is normal or extended. For normal CP, each slot may include 14 symbols, and for extended CP, each slot may include 12 symbols. The symbols on DL may be CP orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) symbols. The symbols on UL may be CP-OFDM symbols (for high throughput scenarios) or discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols (for power limited scenarios; limited to a single stream transmission). The number of slots within a subframe is based on the CP and the numerology. The numerology defines the subcarrier spacing (SCS) (see Table 1). The symbol length/duration may scale with 1/SCS. µ SCS∆? = ? ? ∙ ?? [??? ] Cyclic prefix 0 15 Normal 30 Normal 60 Normal, Extended 120 Normal 240 Normal 480 Normal 960 Normal Table 1: Numerology, SCS, and CP [0055] For normal CP (14 symbols/slot), different numerologies µ 0 to 4 allow for 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 slots, respectively, per subframe. For extended CP, the numerology 2 allows for 4 slots per subframe. Accordingly, for normal CP and numerology µ, there are symbols/slot and 2µ slots/subframe. The subcarrier spacing may be equal to 2? ∗kHz, where ? is the numerology 0 to 4. As such, the numerology µ=0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and the numerology µ=4 has a subcarrier spacing of 2kHz. The symbol length/duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. FIGs. 2A-2D provide an example of normal CP with 14 symbols per slot and numerology µ=2 with 4 slots per subframe. The slot duration is 0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is kHz, and the symbol duration is approximately 16.67 μs. Within a set of frames, there may be one or more different bandwidth parts (BWPs) (see FIG. 2B) that are frequency division multiplexed. Each BWP may have a particular numerology and CP (normal or extended). [0056] A resource grid may be used to represent the frame structure. Each time slot includes a resource block (RB) (also referred to as physical RBs (PRBs)) that extends consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid is divided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bits carried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme. [0057] As illustrated in FIG. 2A, some of the REs carry reference (pilot) signals (RS) for the UE. The RS may include demodulation RS (DM-RS) (indicated as R for one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) for channel estimation at the UE. The RS may also include beam measurement RS (BRS), beam refinement RS (BRRS), and phase tracking RS (PT-RS). [0058] FIG. 2B illustrates an example of various DL channels within a subframe of a frame. The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carries DCI within one or more control channel elements (CCEs) (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs), each CCE including six RE groups (REGs), each REG including 12 consecutive REs in an OFDM symbol of an RB. A PDCCH within one BWP may be referred to as a control resource set (CORESET). A UE is configured to monitor PDCCH candidates in a PDCCH search space (e.g., common search space, UE-specific search space) during PDCCH monitoring occasions on the CORESET, where the PDCCH candidates have different DCI formats and different aggregation levels. Additional BWPs may be located at greater and/or lower frequencies across the channel bandwidth. A primary synchronization signal (PSS) may be within symbol 2 of particular subframes of a frame. The PSS is used by a UE 104 to determine subframe/symbol timing and a physical layer identity. A secondary synchronization signal (SSS) may be within symbol 4 of particular subframes of a frame. The SSS is used by a UE to determine a physical layer cell identity group number and radio frame timing. Based on the physical layer identity and the physical layer cell identity group number, the UE can determine a physical cell identifier (PCI). Based on the PCI, the UE can determine the locations of the DM-RS. The physical broadcast channel (PBCH), which carries a master information block (MIB), may be logically grouped with the PSS and SSS to form a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block (also referred to as SS block (SSB)). The MIB provides a number of RBs in the system bandwidth and a system frame number (SFN). The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carries user data, broadcast system information not transmitted through the PBCH such as system information blocks (SIBs), and paging messages. [0059] As illustrated in FIG. 2C, some of the REs carry DM-RS (indicated as R for one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) for channel estimation at the base station. The UE may transmit DM-RS for the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and DM-RS for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The PUSCH DM-RS may be transmitted in the first one or two symbols of the PUSCH. The PUCCH DM-RS may be transmitted in different configurations depending on whether short or long PUCCHs are transmitted and depending on the particular PUCCH format used. The UE may transmit sounding reference signals (SRS). The SRS may be transmitted in the last symbol of a subframe. The SRS may have a comb structure, and a UE may transmit SRS on one of the combs. The SRS may be used by a base station for channel quality estimation to enable frequency-dependent scheduling on the UL. [0060] FIG. 2D illustrates an example of various UL channels within a subframe of a frame. The PUCCH may be located as indicated in one configuration. The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as scheduling requests, a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) feedback (i.e., one or more HARQ ACK bits indicating one or more ACK and/or negative ACK (NACK)). The PUSCH carries data, and may additionally be used to carry a buffer status report (BSR), a power headroom report (PHR), and/or UCI. [0061] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a base station 310 in communication with a UE 350 in an access network. In the DL, Internet protocol (IP) packets may be provided to a controller/processor 375. The controller/processor 375 implements layer 3 and layer functionality. Layer 3 includes a radio resource control (RRC) layer, and layer includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a medium access control (MAC) layer. The controller/processor 375 provides RRC layer functionality associated with broadcasting of system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs), RRC connection control (e.g., RRC connection paging, RRC connection establishment, RRC connection modification, and RRC connection release), inter radio access technology (RAT) mobility, and measurement configuration for UE measurement reporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrity verification), and handover support functions; RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer of upper layer packet data units (PDUs), error correction through ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs), re-segmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto transport blocks (TBs), demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction through HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization. [0062] The transmit (TX) processor 316 and the receive (RX) processor 370 implement layer functionality associated with various signal processing functions. Layer 1, which includes a physical (PHY) layer, may include error detection on the transport channels, forward error correction (FEC) coding/decoding of the transport channels, interleaving, rate matching, mapping onto physical channels, modulation/demodulation of physical channels, and MIMO antenna processing. The TX processor 316 handles mapping to signal constellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The coded and modulated symbols may then be split into parallel streams. Each stream may then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) in the time and/or frequency domain, and then combined together using an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a time domain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to produce multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from a channel estimator 374 may be used to determine the coding and modulation scheme, as well as for spatial processing. The channel estimate may be derived from a reference signal and/or channel condition feedback transmitted by the UE 350. Each spatial stream may then be provided to a different antenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318Tx. Each transmitter 318Tx may modulate a radio frequency (RF) carrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission. [0063] At the UE 350, each receiver 354Rx receives a signal through its respective antenna 352. Each receiver 354Rx recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to the receive (RX) processor 356. The TX processor 3and the RX processor 356 implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. The RX processor 356 may perform spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial streams destined for the UE 350. If multiple spatial streams are destined for the UE 350, they may be combined by the RX processor 356 into a single OFDM symbol stream. The RX processor 356 then converts the OFDM symbol stream from the time-domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The frequency domain signal includes a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on each subcarrier, and the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated by determining the most likely signal constellation points transmitted by the base station 310. These soft decisions may be based on channel estimates computed by the channel estimator 358. The soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals that were originally transmitted by the base station 310 on the physical channel. The data and control signals are then provided to the controller/processor 359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality. [0064] The controller/processor 359 can be associated with at least one memory 360 that stores program codes and data. The at least one memory 360 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller/processor 359 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover IP packets. The controller/processor 359 is also responsible for error detection using an ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations. [0065] Similar to the functionality described in connection with the DL transmission by the base station 310, the controller/processor 359 provides RRC layer functionality associated with system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs) acquisition, RRC connections, and measurement reporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, and security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrity verification); RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer of upper layer PDUs, error correction through ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, re-segmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction through HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization. [0066] Channel estimates derived by a channel estimator 358 from a reference signal or feedback transmitted by the base station 310 may be used by the TX processor 368 to select the appropriate coding and modulation schemes, and to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial streams generated by the TX processor 368 may be provided to different antennas 352 via separate transmitters 354Tx. Each transmitter 354Tx may modulate an RF carrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission. [0067] The UL transmission is processed at the base station 310 in a manner similar to that described in connection with the receiver function at the UE 350. Each receiver 318Rx receives a signal through its respective antenna 320. Each receiver 318Rx recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to a RX processor 370. [0068] The controller/processor 375 can be associated with at least one memory 376 that stores program codes and data. The at least one memory 376 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller/processor 375 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processing to recover IP packets. The controller/processor 375 is also responsible for error detection using an ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations. [0069] At least one of the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and the controller/processor 359 may be configured to perform aspects in connection with the partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 1. [0070] At least one of the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and the controller/processor 375 may be configured to perform aspects in connection with the partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 1. [0071] FIG. 4 is a diagram 400 illustrating a PRG grid and BWP 420 defined within a carrier bandwidth 410 in accordance with some aspects of the disclosure. For example, a PRG grid may be associated with a plurality of PRGs including, e.g., PRG 431, PRG 433, PRG 435, PRG 437, and PRG 439. Each PRG in the plurality of PRGs may be composed of a plurality of PRBs such as PRB 413. In some aspects of wireless communication, a same precoding may be applied to each PRB in a PRG. While illustrated based on a PRG size of 4 PRBs, a PRG size, or granularity, may be based on other configurable values (e.g., a PRG size may be 2, 4, or larger). Each PRG may include a set of contiguous PRBs for which a same precoding is applied, and a different precoding may be applied to different PRGs. A PRG grid, in some aspects, may be aligned with a first PRB of the carrier bandwidth 410 (e.g., a contiguous set of PRGs may begin at a first PRB of the carrier bandwidth). As illustrated, the carrier bandwidth may be defined based on a reference PRB 401 using a carrier offset 4and a size associated with the carrier bandwidth 410. [0072] A BWP 420 may be allocated within the carrier bandwidth 410, and the BWP 4may not align with boundaries of the PRGs of the PRG grid (e.g., the BWP may begin and/or end in the middle of a PRG such as PRG 433). The BWP 420, in some aspects, may be specified based on a BWP start 421 (e.g., defined as an offset from the start of the carrier bandwidth 410 or based on a PRB index defined for the carrier bandwidth 410) and a BWP size 423. As illustrated, the BWP 420 may include a partial PRG 443 and/or a partial PRG 449 at an edge of the BWP 420. The partial PRGs 443 and 449 may be adjacent to PRGs within the BWP 420. For example, partial PRG 443 may include a last PRB of the BWP 420 and be adjacent to a PRG 435 and partial PRG 449 may include a first PRB of the BWP 420 and be adjacent to PRG 437. As discussed above, in some aspects, the data transmitted via the partial PRGs 443 and 449 may be subject to a larger error rate (e.g., a BER or BLER). [0073] A misalignment between one or more BWP edges and the PRG grid (e.g., PRG boundaries) may result in a partial PRG, e.g., partial PRG 449, that falls within a BWP. Additionally, a BWP that is not an integer multiple of a PRG size may result in a partial PRG at the end of a BWP even if the BWP edge is aligned with a PRG grid edge (as illustrated in relation to PDSCH resources 461) or may result in a second partial PRG if the BWP edge is not aligned with the PRG grid edge, e.g., partial PRG 443. Resources including the partial PRGs may be allocated for a particular communication (e.g., PDSCH resources 461 allocated for a PDSCH transmission) within the BWP 420. [0074] Various aspects relate generally to mitigating problems associated with the use of partial PRGs. Some aspects more specifically relate to the use of an extended PRG, e.g., adjusted PRG 453, adjusted PRG 457, adjusted PRG 471, adjusted PRG 473, adjusted PRG 475, adjusted PRG 477, or adjusted PRG 479 including a combination of a partial PRG and an adjacent PRG within the BWP 420 (or within allocated resources such as PDSCH resources 461) to remedy the issues associated with the use of partial PRGs. In some aspects, the terms extended PRG and adjusted PRG may be interchangeable, where the term extended PRG refers to the extension of the concept of a PRG and not necessarily to an increase in the size of a PRG compared to a configured PRG size. For example, the partial PRG 449 may be combined with PRG 437 to form adjusted PRG 457, where the PRBs of the adjusted PRG 457 have a same precoding, and the partial PRG 443 may be combined with PRG 435 to form adjusted PRG 453, where the PRBs of the adjusted PRG 453 have a same precoding. In some aspects, one or more of the adjusted PRGs may recombine PRBs from the partial PRG and the adjacent PRG to form different adjusted PRGs, e.g., adjusted PRG 4including the two PRBs of the partial PRG 443 and one PRB of the PRG 435, and/or adjusted PRG 473 including the remaining PRBs of the PRG 435, where a base station, or other transmitting device, may use a different precoding for each of the adjusted PRGs 471 and 473. It will be understood that using the adjusted PRG 4may be based on a first partial PRG precoding rule while the use of the adjusted PRGs 471 and 473 may be based on a second partial PRG precoding rule (e.g., with one rule applying to a particular partial PRG. as different rules may be incompatible). For example, in some aspects, the PRBs of an adjusted PRG may have a same precoding (that may be different for different adjusted PRGs). [0075] As illustrated in diagram 400, the adjusted PRGs (e.g., the adjusted PRG 475 and the adjusted PRG 477), in some aspects, may be of different sizes (e.g., include different numbers of PRBs). In some aspects, an adjusted PRG 479 (or a similar adjusted PRG at the other edge of the BWP) may be defined to be of a same size as the PRGs of the PRG grid (e.g., PRG 431 to PRG 439) starting at an edge of the partial PRG and extending into the BWP, where the same precoding is applied for the PRBs in both the PRG 437 and the adjusted PRG 479. In some aspects, the channel estimation for the PRBs in the overlapping region with the adjacent PRG (e.g., PRG 437) may use (one of) a channel estimation for the adjusted PRG 479 or a channel estimation for the adjacent PRG (e.g., the PRG 437) as the same precoding is applied for the PRBs in both the PRG 437 and the adjusted PRG 479. [0076] FIG. 5 is a call flow diagram 500 illustrating a method of wireless communication using an extended PRG in accordance with some aspects of the disclosure. Call flow diagram 500 illustrates a communication between a base station 502 (e.g., as an example of a network device or network node that may include one or more components of a disaggregated base station) and a UE 504 (e.g., as an example of a wireless device). The functions ascribed to the base station 502, in some aspects, may be performed by one or more components of a network entity, a network node, or a network device (a single network entity/node/device or a disaggregated network entity/node/device as described above in relation to FIG. 1). Similarly, the functions ascribed to the UE 504, in some aspects, may be performed by one or more components of a wireless device supporting communication with a network entity/node/device. Accordingly, references to "transmitting" in the description below may be understood to refer to a first component of the base station 502 (or the UE 504) outputting (or providing) an indication of the content of the transmission to be transmitted by a different component of the base station 502 (or the UE 504). Similarly, references to "receiving" in the description below may be understood to refer to a first component of the base station 502 (or the UE 504) receiving a transmitted signal and outputting (or providing) the received signal (or information based on the received signal) to a different component of the base station 502 (or the UE 504). [0077] In some aspects, the base station 502 and the UE 504 may communicate regarding a capability of the UE 504 to use an extended PRG. The base station, in some aspects may transmit, and the UE 504 may receive an extended PRG capability query 5regarding a capability of the UE 504 to use an extended PRG (e.g., to use, or apply, a partial PRG precoding rule). In response to the extended PRG capability query 506, or independently (e.g., as part of another configuration and/or capability indication), the UE 504 may transmit, and the base station 502 may receive, an extended PRG capability indication 508 indicating that the UE 504 is capable of using extended PRGs. The base station 502, in some aspects, may transmit, and the UE 504 may receive, a PRG configuration 510 (e.g., based on an indicated capability to use the extended PRG). The PRG configuration 510, in some aspects, may indicate a set of PRGs, (e.g., a PRG grid associated with a first PRB of a first PRG, or a PRG edge location, and/or PRG size). [0078] The PRG configuration, in some aspects, may include a partial PRG precoding rule (e.g., an indication of at least one partial PRG precoding rule applied to a corresponding partial PRG or type of PRG at the base station 502). In some aspects, a partial PRG precoding rule may be included in another configuration message or transmission. In some aspects, a partial PRG precoding rule may be known (pre-configured) and the PRG configuration 510 may include an indication for the UE 5to use the known rule if a current and/or subsequent resource allocation (e.g., a BWP and/or PDSCH resource allocation configured by resource allocation configuration 514 or a similar subsequent resource allocation and/or configuration) includes at least one partial PRG. For example, in some aspects, the PRG configuration (or the partial PRG precoding rule included in the PRG configuration 510) may indicate for the UE 504 to assume a precoding for at least one partial PRG and/or a first PRG adjacent to the at least one partial PRG when performing a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. Generally, the UE 504 may use the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding to determine a channel estimation behavior, where different UEs may select different methods for performing the channel estimation based on the same partial PRG precoding rule. For example, based on a rule specifying a same precoding for PRBs in the adjusted PRG 453 (and for adjusted PRGs 471 and 473), the UE may determine to perform a channel estimation for the PRBs of the partial PRG based on one or more of the PRG 4(e.g., applying a channel estimation for the PRG 435 to the PRBs of the partial PRG 443), the adjusted PRG 453, or the adjusted PRG 471 (while performing the channel estimation of the remaining PRBs of the PRG 435 based on the adjusted PRG 473 or based on the PRG 435). [0079] In some aspects, based on the partial PRG precoding rule (indicating a same precoding for the at least one partial PRG and the first PRG) the UE 504 may apply a first channel estimation made, or performed, for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. Referring to FIG. 4, for example, the first PRG, in some aspects, may include a first set of PRBs (the PRBs in the PRG 435) for which a first channel estimation may be performed, where the first channel estimation may be applied to the PRBs of the at least one partial PRG 443 (e.g., a subset of the PRBs of the PRG 433). [0080] The PRG configuration 510 may indicate a partial PRG precoding rule that includes a precoding for at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., a set of one or more PRBs from the PRG 435 or the PRG 437 that are adjacent to the partial PRG 443 or the partial PRG 449, respectively) and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG (the partial PRG 443 or the partial PRG 449). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the first PRG and the partial PRG (e.g., the set of PRBs included in PRG 435 or 437 and the set of PRBs included in partial PRG 4or 449, respectively) adjacent to the first PRG (e.g., the adjusted PRG 453 or 4including the set of PRBs included in PRG 435 or 437 and the set of PRBs included in partial PRG 443 or 449, respectively). The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG (e.g., the adjusted PRG 471 including the PRB of the PRG 435 adjacent to the partial PRG 443 and the PRBs of the partial PRG 443 or the adjusted PRG 477 including the PRB of the PRG 437 adjacent to the partial PRG 449 and the PRB of the partial PRG 449). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs (e.g., the adjusted PRG 473 including the remaining PRBs of the PRG 435 or the adjusted PRG 477 including the remaining PRBs of the PRG 437). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG as illustrated for adjusted PRG 479 of FIG. 4). [0081] At 512, the base station 502 may determine a resource allocation (e.g., a BWP or a set of PDSCH resources) for the UE 504 (e.g., for a communication with the UE 504). The base station 502 may transmit, and the UE 504 may receive, a resource allocation configuration 514. An example, the resource allocation configuration 514may include scheduling for a transmission on a set of resources. In some aspects, the resource allocation configuration 514 may indicate one or more of a BWP or resource allocation within a carrier bandwidth for one or more transmissions and/or communications. For example, referring to FIG. 4, the resource allocation configuration 514 may indicate one or more of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461 within the carrier bandwidth 410. The resource allocation configuration 514, in some aspects, may indicate at least one partial PRG (e.g., including a first and/or last PRB of the BWP or allocated resources). [0082] Based on the partial PRG precoding rule indicated in the PRG configuration 510 and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514, the base station 502 may, at 516, determine a precoding for the at least one partial PRG. The base station 502 may encode a communication based on the precoding determined at 516 and may transmit, and the UE 504 may receive, encoded communication 518 using the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the base station 502 may transmit the encoded communication based on extended PRG precoding rules (e.g., the partial PRG precoding rule). [0083] The UE 504, at 520, may decode the encoded communication 518 based on the one or more partial PRG precoding rule indicated in the PRG configuration 510 and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514. For example, the decoding at 520, in some aspects, may include a channel estimation for the partial PRG (e.g., for an extended, or adjusted, PRG including, or associated with, the at least one partial PRG) based on the precoding indicated, or associated with, one or more partial PRG precoding rules indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule. Based on the decoding at 520, the UE 504 may output the decoded transmission for one or more of an application associated with the UE 504, local storage, or transmission to another device (not shown). [0084] FIG. 6 is a flowchart 600 of a method of wireless communication. The method may be performed by a wireless device such as a UE (e.g., the UE 104, 504; the apparatus 1004). In some aspects, the UE may receive a query regarding a capability to use extended PRGs. The query, in some aspects, may be received as part of an RRC configuration (or reconfiguration) process or other set of messages associated with establishing a connection with a network node. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the UE 504 may receive the extended PRG capability query 506. The UE, in some aspects, may transmit an indication of a capability to use extended PRGs. In some aspects, the indication of the capability may be transmitted based on, or in response to, the query. Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the UE 504 may transmit extended PRG capability indication 508 indicating that the UE 504 is capable of using extended PRGs. [0085] In some aspects, the UE may receive a resource allocation configuration (e.g., a resource allocation associated with a bandwidth part or other allocation of resources within a BWP). In some aspects, the BWP may include a partial PRG. The at least one partial PRG, in some aspects, may include at least one of a first PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) or a last PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) that does not align with a boundary of a PRG in the set of PRGs. For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive the resource allocation configuration 514 indicating, or configuring, one or more of a BWP 420 or resource allocation (e.g., for PDSCH resources 461) within a carrier bandwidth 4that may include at least one partial PRG (e.g., partial PRG 443 or 449) for one or more transmissions and/or communications. [0086] The UE, in some aspects, may receive an indication of a set of PRGs. In some aspects, the first indication of the set of PRGs may include an indication of a PRG size and location (e.g., a starting PRB index from a known reference PRB). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive the PRG configuration 5indicating the set of PRGs including PRG 431 to PRG 439. The UE, in some aspects, may receive an indication of a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding. The partial PRG precoding rule (e.g., indicating a precoding used at the network node or other transmitting device for a partial PRG), in some aspects, may be received in the indication of the set of PRGs. In some aspects, the indication of the partial PRG precoding rule, may be an indication for the UE to use a known partial PRG precoding rule (e.g., used by the network node) to determine how to perform a channel estimation for a partial PRG if a current and/or subsequent resource allocation includes at least one partial PRG. The partial PRG precoding indicated by the rule, in some aspects, may be associated with an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0087] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding may be associated with at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive a partial PRG precoding rule within PRG configuration 510 indicating a rule for a precoding associated with performing a channel estimation for one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449 (e.g., using one or more of adjusted PRG 453, adjusted PRG 457, or adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479). [0088] At 610, the UE may receive an encoded communication within a BWP (e.g., using a set of allocated resources within the BWP) having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the BWP. For example, 610 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the UE 504 may receive encoded communication 518 using one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461. [0089] At 612, the UE may perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. For example, 612 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the channel estimation may be based on the received partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding. The channel estimation performed at 612 (e.g., based on the partial PRG precoding indicated by the rule), in some aspects, may include an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0090] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the channel estimation performed at 612 may include a first channel estimation for at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG (e.g., based on the received partial PRG precoding rule indicating that the first PRB and the second PRB have a same precoding). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may, at 520, perform a channel estimation as part of decoding the encoded communication 518 based on the one or more partial PRG precoding rules indicated within the PRG configuration 510 and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG (e.g., partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449) indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514. The channel estimation, in some aspects, may include performing a channel estimation based on one or more of adjusted PRG 453 adjusted PRG 457, or adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479 based on the partial PRG precoding rule. [0091] At 614, the UE may decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. For example, 614 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the UE 504 at 520, may decode the encoded communication 518 (transmitted via one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461 including one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449) based on a channel estimation of the at least one PRG (e.g., based on the one or more partial PRG precoding rules indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514). [0092] In some aspects, the UE may output the decoded communication based on the encoded communication and the channel estimation. The decoded transmission, in some aspects, may be output for one or more of an application associated with the UE, local storage, or transmission to another device. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the UE 504, based on the decoding at 520, may, at 522, output the decoded transmission for one or more of an application associated with the UE 504, local storage, or transmission to another device (not shown). [0093] FIG. 7 is a flowchart 700 of a method of wireless communication. The method may be performed by a wireless device such as a UE (e.g., the UE 104, 504; the apparatus 1004). At 702, the UE may receive a query regarding a capability to use extended PRGs. For example, 702 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the query may be received as part of an RRC configuration (or reconfiguration) process or other set of messages associated with establishing a connection with a network node. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the UE 504 may receive the extended PRG capability query 506. [0094] At 704, the UE may transmit an indication of a capability to use extended PRGs. For example, 704 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the indication of the capability may be transmitted based on, or in response to, the query. Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the UE 504 may transmit extended PRG capability indication 508 indicating that the UE 504 is capable of using extended PRGs. [0095] At 706, the UE may receive a resource allocation configuration (e.g., a resource allocation configuration associated with a bandwidth part or other allocation of resources within a BWP). For example, 706 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the BWP may include a partial PRG. The at least one partial PRG, in some aspects, may include at least one of a first PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) or a last PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) that does not align with a boundary of a PRG in the set of PRGs. For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive the resource allocation configuration 514 indicating, or configuring, one or more of a BWP 420 or resource allocation (e.g., for PDSCH resources 461) within a carrier bandwidth 410 that may include at least one partial PRG (e.g., partial PRG 443 or 449) for one or more transmissions and/or communications. id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96"
[0096] At 708, the UE may receive an indication of a set of PRGs. For example, 708 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the first indication of the set of PRGs may include an indication of a PRG size and location (e.g., a starting PRB index from a known reference PRB). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive the PRG configuration 510 indicating the set of PRGs including PRG 431 to PRG 439. [0097] In some aspects, as part of receiving the indication of the set of PRGs at 708, the UE may receive an indication of at least one partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding. In some aspects, the indication of the at least one partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding, may be an indication for the UE to use a known rule for a partial PRG precoding (e.g., used by the network node) to determine how to perform a channel estimation for a partial PRG if a current and/or subsequent resource allocation includes at least one partial PRG. The partial PRG precoding indicated by the rule, in some aspects, may be associated with an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0098] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding may be associated with at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding within PRG configuration 5indicating a rule for a precoding associated with performing a channel estimation for one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449 (e.g., using one or more of adjusted PRG 453, adjusted PRG 457, or adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479). [0099] At 710, the UE may receive an encoded communication within a BWP (e.g., using a set of allocated resources within the BWP) having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the BWP. For example, 710 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the UE 504 may receive encoded communication 518 using one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461. [0100] At 712, the UE may perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. For example, 712 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. In some aspects, the channel estimation may be based on the partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding received as part of receiving the indication of the set of PRGs at 708. The channel estimation performed at 712 (e.g., based on the partial PRG precoding indicated by the rule), in some aspects, may include an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0101] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the channel estimation performed at 712 may include a first channel estimation for at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG (e.g., based on the received partial PRG precoding rule indicating that the first PRB and the second PRB have a same precoding). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may, at 520, perform a channel estimation as part of decoding the encoded communication 518 based on the one or more partial PRG precoding rules indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG (e.g., partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449) indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514. The channel estimation, in some aspects, may include performing a channel estimation based on one or more of adjusted PRG 453 adjusted PRG 457, or adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479 based on the partial PRG precoding rule. [0102] At 714, the UE may decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. For example, 714 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the UE 504 at 520, may decode the encoded communication 518 (transmitted via one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461 including one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449) based on a channel estimation of the at least one PRG (e.g., based on the one or more partial PRG precoding rules indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule and the inclusion of at least one partial PRG indicated in, or configured by, the resource allocation configuration 514). [0103] At 716, the UE may output the decoded communication based on the encoded communication and the channel estimation. For example, 716 may be performed by application processor(s) 1006, cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, transceiver(s) 1022, antenna(s) 1080, and/or partial PRG decoding component 198 of FIG. 10. The decoded transmission, in some aspects, may be output for one or more of an application associated with the UE, local storage, or transmission to another device.
For example, referring to FIG. 5, the UE 504, based on the decoding at 520, may, at 522, output the decoded transmission for one or more of an application associated with the UE 504, local storage, or transmission to another device (not shown). [0104] FIG. 8 is a flowchart 800 of a method of wireless communication. The method may be performed by a network device such as a base station (e.g., the base station 102, 502; the network entity 1002, 1102). In some aspects, the network device may receive an indication of a capability of a wireless device to use extended PRGs. Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the base station 502 may receiving extended PRG capability indication 508 indicating that the UE 504 is capable of using extended PRGs. [0105] In some aspects, the base station may output, for the wireless device, an indication of a set of PRGs. In some aspects, the indication of the set of PRGs may include an indication of a PRG size and location (e.g., a starting PRB index from a known reference PRB). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station 502 may transmit the PRG configuration 510 indicating the set of PRGs including PRG 431 to PRG 439. In some aspects, outputting the indication of the set of PRGs may include outputting an indication of a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding. In some aspects, the indication of the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding, may be an indication for the wireless device to use a known rule for a partial PRG precoding (e.g., used by the network node) to determine how to perform a channel estimation for a partial PRG if a current and/or subsequent resource allocation includes at least one partial PRG. The partial PRG precoding indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule, in some aspects, may be associated with an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0106] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding may be associated with at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG (where the wireless device may perform a channel estimation on the at least one adjusted PRG based on the partial PRG precoding rule indicating that the first PRB and the second PRB have a same precoding). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding within PRG configuration 510 indicating a rule for a partial PRG precoding associated with one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449 (e.g., using one or more of adjusted PRG 453 adjusted PRG 457, or adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479). [0107] At 808, the network device may, for a wireless device, allocate (or determine an allocation for) resources (e.g., a BWP or other allocation of resources within a BWP) including a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the allocated resources. For example, 808 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. The at least one partial PRG, in some aspects, may include at least one of a first PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) or a last PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) that does not align with a boundary of a PRG in the set of PRGs. For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station may determine, at 512, a resource allocation (e.g., a BWP or a set of PDSCH resources) for the UE 504 (e.g., for a communication with the UE 504). [0108] In some aspects, the network device may transmit, for the wireless device, an indication of the allocated resources (e.g., the BWP or other allocation of resources within the BWP). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station 502 may transmit the resource allocation configuration 514 (e.g., indicating one of BWP 4or the PDSCH resources 461). [0109] At 812, the network device may transmit, based on the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding, an encoded communication having a first precoding for both the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. For example, 812 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the base station 502 may transmit encoded communication 518 using one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461. [0110] In some aspects, the encoded communication, in some aspects, may include a same precoding for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the encoded communication include at least one adjusted PRG (an updated set of PRBs having a same precoding as for a PRG defined by the indication of the set of PRGs) including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG (e.g., that may have a different precoding) including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG) where the adjusted PRG has a same precoding as the first PRG. [0111] FIG. 9 is a flowchart 900 of a method of wireless communication. The method may be performed by a network device such as a base station (e.g., the base station 102, 502; the network entity 1002, 1102). [0112] At 904, the network device may receive an indication of a capability of a wireless device to use extended PRGs. For example, 904 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the base station 502 may receiving extended PRG capability indication 508 indicating that the UE 504 is capable of using extended PRGs. [0113] At 906, the base station may output, for a wireless device, a first indication of a set of PRGs. For example, 906 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. In some aspects, the first indication of the set of PRGs may include an indication of a PRG size and location (e.g., a starting PRB index from a known reference PRB). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station 502 may transmit the PRG configuration 510 indicating the set of PRGs including PRG 431 to PRG 439. In some aspects, outputting the indication of the set of PRGs at 906, may include outputting an indication of a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding. In some aspects, the indication of the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding, may be an indication for the wireless device to use a known rule for a partial PRG precoding (e.g., used by the network node) to determine how to perform a channel estimation for a partial PRG if a current and/or subsequent resource allocation includes at least one partial PRG. The partial PRG precoding indicated by the partial PRG precoding rule, in some aspects, may be associated with an application of a first channel estimation for the first PRG to the at least one partial PRG. [0114] In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding may be associated with at least one adjusted PRG including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG (where the wireless device may perform a channel estimation on the at least one adjusted PRG based on the partial PRG precoding rule indicating that the first PRB and the second PRB have a same precoding). In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG). For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the UE 504 may receive a partial PRG precoding rule for a partial PRG precoding within PRG configuration 510 indicating a partial PRG precoding associated with performing a channel estimation for one or more of partial PRG 443 or partial PRG 449 (e.g., using one or more of adjusted PRG 453 adjusted PRG 457, adjusted PRG 471 to adjusted PRG 479). [0115] At 908, the network device may, for a wireless device, allocate (or determine an allocation for) resources (e.g., a BWP or other allocation of resources within a BWP) including a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the allocated resources. For example, 908 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. The at least one partial PRG, in some aspects, may include at least one of a first PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) or a last PRB in the bandwidth part (or other allocated resources) that does not align with a boundary of a PRG in the set of PRGs. For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station may determine, at 512, a resource allocation (e.g., a BWP or a set of PDSCH resources) for the UE 504 (e.g., for a communication with the UE 504). [0116] At 910, the network device may transmit, for the wireless device, an indication of the allocated resources (e.g., the BWP or other allocation of resources within the BWP). For example, 910 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. For example, referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, the base station 502 may transmit the resource allocation configuration 514 (e.g., indicating one of BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461). [0117] At 912, the network device may transmit, based on the partial PRG precoding rule for the partial PRG precoding, an encoded communication having a first precoding for both the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. For example, 912 may be performed by CU processor(s) 1112, DU processor(s) 1132, RU processor(s) 1142, transceiver(s) 1146, antenna(s) 1180, and/or partial PRG encoding component 199 of FIG. 11. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, for example, the base station 502 may transmit encoded communication 518 using one of the BWP 420 or the PDSCH resources 461. [0118] In some aspects, the encoded communication, in some aspects, may include a same precoding for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the first PRG includes a first set of PRBs and the at least one partial PRG includes a second set of PRBs. The first set of PRBs, in some aspects, includes at least two PRBs and the second set of PRBs includes at least one PRB but less than a number of PRBs included in the first set of PRBs, and the encoded communication include at least one adjusted PRG (an updated set of PRBs having a same precoding as for a PRG defined by the indication of the set of PRGs) including at least a first PRB from the first set of PRBs of the first PRG and at least a second PRB from the second set of PRBs of the at least one partial PRG. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG includes the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may include a first adjusted PRG including a first subset of the first set of PRBs and the second set of PRBs. The at least one adjusted PRG, in some aspects, may also include a second adjusted PRG (e.g., that may have a different precoding) including a second subset of the first set of PRBs including each PRB in the first set of PRBs not included in the first subset of the first set of PRBs. In some aspects, the at least one adjusted PRG may include the second set of PRBs of the partial PRG and a subset of the first set of PRBs of the first PRG where the total number of PRBs in the adjusted PRG is equal to the number of PRBs in the first set of PRBs of the first PRG (e.g., the size of the adjusted PRG is the same as the size of the first PRG) where the adjusted PRG has a same precoding as the first PRG. [0119] FIG. 10 is a diagram 1000 illustrating an example of a hardware implementation for an apparatus 1004. The apparatus 1004 may be a UE, a component of a UE, or may implement UE functionality. In some aspects, the apparatus 1004 may include at least one cellular baseband processor 1024 (also referred to as a modem) coupled to one or more transceivers 1022 (e.g., cellular RF transceiver).

In some aspects, the apparatus 1004 may further include a Bluetooth module 1012, a WLAN module 1014, an SPS module 1016 (e.g., GNSS module), one or more sensor modules 1018 (e.g., barometric pressure sensor / altimeter; motion sensor such as inertial measurement unit (IMU), gyroscope, and/or accelerometer(s); light detection and ranging (LIDAR), radio assisted detection and ranging (RADAR), sound navigation and ranging (SONAR), magnetometer, audio and/or other technologies used for positioning), additional memory modules 1026, a power supply 1030, and/or a camera 1032. The Bluetooth module 1012, the WLAN module 1014, and the SPS module 1016 may include an on-chip transceiver (TRX) (or in some cases, just a receiver (RX)). The Bluetooth module 1012, the WLAN module 1014, and the SPS module 1016 may include their own dedicated antennas and/or utilize one or more antennas 1080 for communication. The cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 communicates through the transceiver(s) 1022 via the one or more antennas 1080 with the UE 104 and/or with an RU associated with a network entity 1002.

The software, when executed by the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 / application processor(s) 1006, causes the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 / application processor(s) 1006 to perform the various functions described supra. The computer-readable medium / memory may also be used for storing data that is manipulated by the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 / application processor(s) 1006 when executing software.

In one configuration, the apparatus 1004 may be at least one processor chip (modem and/or application) and include just the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 and/or the application processor(s) 1006, and in another configuration, the apparatus 1004 may be the entire UE (e.g., see UE 350 of FIG. 3) and include the additional modules of the apparatus 1004. [0120] As discussed supra, the partial PRG decoding component 198 may be configured to receive an encoded communication within a BWP having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the bandwidth part, perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PR, and decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. The partial PRG decoding component 198 may be within the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024, the application processor(s) 1006, or both the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 and the application processor(s) 1006. The partial PRG decoding component 198 may be one or more hardware components specifically configured to carry out the stated processes/algorithm, implemented by one or more processors configured to perform the stated processes/algorithm, stored within a computer-readable medium for implementation by one or more processors, or some combination thereof. When multiple processors are implemented, the multiple processors may perform the stated processes/algorithm individually or in combination. As shown, the apparatus 10may include a variety of components configured for various functions. In one configuration, the apparatus 1004, and in particular the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 and/or the application processor(s) 1006, may include means for receiving an encoded communication within a bandwidth part having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the bandwidth part.

The apparatus 1004, and in particular the cellular baseband processor(s) 1024 and/or the application processor(s) 1006, may include means for receiving a second indication of the bandwidth part. The apparatus 1004 may further include means for performing any of the aspects described in connection with the flowcharts in FIGs. 6 or 7, and/or performed by the UE in the communication flow of FIG. 5. The means may be the partial PRG decoding component 198 of the apparatus 1004 configured to perform the functions recited by the means. As described supra, the apparatus 1004 may include the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and the controller/processor 359. As such, in one configuration, the means may be the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and/or the controller/processor 359 configured to perform the functions recited by the means or as described in relation to FIGs. 6 and 7. [0121] FIG. 11 is a diagram 1100 illustrating an example of a hardware implementation for a network entity 1102. The network entity 1102 may be a BS, a component of a BS, or may implement BS functionality. The network entity 1102 may include at least one of a CU 1110, a DU 1130, or an RU 1140. For example, depending on the layer functionality handled by the partial PRG encoding component 199, the network entity 1102 may include the CU 1110; both the CU 1110 and the DU 1130; each of the CU 1110, the DU 1130, and the RU 1140; the DU 1130; both the DU 1130 and the RU 1140; or the RU 1140. The CU 1110 may include at least one CU processor 1112. The CU processor(s) 1112 may include on-chip memory 1112'. In some aspects, the CU 1110 may further include additional memory modules 1114 and a communications interface 1118.

The DU processor(s) 1132 may include on-chip memory 1132'. In some aspects, the DU 1130 may further include additional memory modules 1134 and a communications interface 1138. The DU 1130 communicates with the RU 1140 through a fronthaul link. The RU 1140 may include at least one RU processor 1142. The RU processor(s) 1142 may include on-chip memory 1142'. In some aspects, the RU 1140 may further include additional memory modules 1144, one or more transceivers 1146, one or more antennas 1180, and a communications interface 1148. The RU 1140 communicates with the UE 104. The on-chip memory 1112', 1132', 1142' and the additional memory modules 1114, 1134, 1144 may each be considered a computer-readable medium / memory. Each computer-readable medium / memory may be non-transitory. Each of the processors 1112, 1132, 1142 is responsible for general processing, including the execution of software stored on the computer- readable medium / memory. The software, when executed by the corresponding processor(s) causes the processor(s) to perform the various functions described supra. The computer-readable medium / memory may also be used for storing data that is manipulated by the processor(s) when executing software. [0122] As discussed supra, the partial PRG encoding component 199 may be configured to allocate, for a wireless device, a BWP comprising a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the BWP, and output, based on a rule for a partial PRG precoding, an encoded communication having a first precoding for both the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. The partial PRG encoding component 199 may be within one or more processors of one or more of the CU 1110, DU 1130, and the RU 1140. The partial PRG encoding component 199 may be one or more hardware components specifically configured to carry out the stated processes/algorithm, implemented by one or more processors configured to perform the stated processes/algorithm, stored within a computer-readable medium for implementation by one or more processors, or some combination thereof. When multiple processors are implemented, the multiple processors may perform the stated processes/algorithm individually or in combination. The network entity 1102 may include a variety of components configured for various functions. In one configuration, the network entity 1102 may include means for allocating, for a wireless device, a bandwidth part comprising a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the bandwidth part. The network entity 1102, in some aspects, may include means for outputting, based on a rule for a partial PRG precoding, an encoded communication having a first precoding for both the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG. The network entity 1102, in some aspects, may include means for outputting, for the wireless device, an indication of the rule for the partial PRG precoding. The network entity 1102, in some aspects, may include means for outputting, for the wireless device, a first indication of a set of PRGs. The network entity 1102, in some aspects, may include means for outputting, for the wireless device, a second indication of the bandwidth part. The network entity 1102 may further include means for performing any of the aspects described in connection with the flowcharts in FIGs. 8 or 9, and/or performed by the base station in the communication flow of FIG. 5. The means may be the partial PRG encoding component 199 of the network entity 1102 configured to perform the functions recited by the means. As described supra, the network entity 1102 may include the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and the controller/processor 375. As such, in one configuration, the means may be the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and/or the controller/processor 375 configured to perform the functions recited by the means or as described in relation to FIGs. 8 and 9. [0123] In some aspects, a partial PRG may be a result of a carrier BW which is not an integer multiple of a PRG size, a misalignment between one or more BWP edges and the PRG grid, a misalignment between one or more edges of a set of allocated physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) PRBs and the PRG grid. In some aspects, the use of partial PRGs produces inferior channel estimation compared to the use of a nominal PRG size (e.g., a configured PRG size). Consequently, a code block which overlaps with, or is transmitted via, a partial PRG (which may be referred to as ‘edge code blocks’), in some aspects, may introduce a higher code block error rate than associated with other, non-edge code blocks. Accordingly, edge code blocks, in some aspects, may be the limiting factor when attempting to achieve a suitable or desired maximum or threshold BLER (e.g., a transport block error rate of 10%). In some aspects, a trivial solution for avoiding the use of a partial PRG may be through PRB allocation. For example, in association with a desired resource allocation of 273 PRBs, an allocation of 272 PRBs or 274 PRBs for a PRG size of 2 PRBs (or 276 PRBs for a PRG size of 4) aligned with a PRG edge may prevent the use of a partial PRB. However, the downside of such approach is effective BWP bandwidth loss or overallocation of resources with the effect increasing with larger PRG size. [0124] Various aspects relate generally to mitigating the problems associated with the use of partial PRGs. Some aspects more specifically relate to the use of an extended PRG to remedy the issues associated with the use of partial PRGs. The extended PRG, in some aspects, may include a combination of a partial PRG at the edge of a BWP (or set of allocated resources within a BWP) with an adjacent PRG within the BWP (or a part of the adjacent PRG), where all the PRBs of the extended PRG have a same precoding. In some examples, a wireless device may be configured to receive an encoded communication within a bandwidth part having a first precoding for both a first PRG and at least one partial PRG adjacent to the first PRG within the bandwidth part, perform a channel estimation for a combination of the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG, and decode the encoded communication for the first PRG and the at least one partial PRG based on the channel estimation for the combination. [0125] Particular aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to realize one or more of the following potential advantages. In some examples, by using a same precoding and/or channel estimation for the combination of the first PRG and the partial PRG (e.g., an extended PRG), the described techniques can be used to improve a BER or BLER when using, or including, one or more partial PRGs in a BWP associated with, or a set of allocated resources for, a particular communication. [0126] It is understood that the specific order or hierarchy of blocks in the processes / flowcharts disclosed is an illustration of example approaches. Based upon design preferences, it is understood that the specific order or hierarchy of blocks in the processes / flowcharts may be rearranged. Further, some blocks may be combined or omitted. The accompanying method claims present elements of the various blocks in a sample order, and are not limited to the specific order or hierarchy presented. [0127] The previous description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the various aspects described herein. Various modifications to these aspects will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other aspects. Thus, the claims are not limited to the aspects described herein, but are to be accorded the full scope consistent with the language claims. Reference to an element in the singular does not mean "one and only one" unless specifically so stated, but rather "one or more." Terms such as "if," "when," and "while" do not imply an immediate temporal relationship or reaction. That is, these phrases, e.g., "when," do not imply an immediate action in response to or during the occurrence of an action, but simply imply that if a condition is met then an action will occur, but without requiring a specific or immediate time constraint for the action to occur. The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any aspect described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the term "some" refers to one or more. Combinations such as "at least one of A, B, or C," "one or more of A, B, or C," "at least one of A, B, and C," "one or more of A, B, and C," and "A, B, C, or any combination thereof" include any combination of A, B, and/or C, and may include multiples of A, multiples of B, or multiples of C. Specifically, combinations such as "at least one of A, B, or C," "one or more of A, B, or C," "at least one of A, B, and C," "one or more of A, B, and C," and "A, B, C, or any combination thereof" may be A only, B only, C only, A and B, A and C, B and C, or A and B and C, where any such combinations may contain one or more member or members of A, B, or C. Sets should be interpreted as a set of elements where the elements number one or more. Accordingly, for a set of X, X would include one or more elements. When at least one processor is configured to perform a set of functions, the at least one processor, individually or in any combination, is configured to perform the set of functions. Accordingly, each processor of the at least one processor may be configured to perform a particular subset of the set of functions, where the subset is the full set, a proper subset of the set, or an empty subset of the set. A processor may be referred to as processor circuitry. A memory / memory module may be referred to as memory circuitry. If a first apparatus receives data from or transmits data to a second apparatus, the data may be received/transmitted directly between the first and second apparatuses, or indirectly between the first and second apparatuses through a set of apparatuses. A device configured to "output" data, such as a transmission, signal, or message, may transmit the data, for example with a transceiver, or may send the data to a device that transmits the data. A device configured to "obtain" data, such as a transmission, signal, or message, may receive, for example with a transceiver, or may obtain the data from a device that receives the data. Information stored in a memory includes instructions and/or data. All structural and functional equivalents to the elements of the various aspects described throughout this disclosure that are known or later come to be known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are encompassed by the claims. Moreover, nothing disclosed herein is dedicated to the public regardless of whether such disclosure is explicitly recited in the claims. The words "module," "mechanism," "element," "device," and the like may not be a substitute for the word "means." As such, no claim element is to be construed as a means plus function unless the element is expressly recited using the phrase "means for." [0128] As used herein, the phrase "based on" shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of information, one or more conditions, one or more factors, or the like. In other words, the phrase "based on A" (where "A" may be information, a condition, a factor, or the like) shall be construed as "based at least on A" unless specifically recited differently.
