Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit repetitions of a tracking reference signal to a user equipment (UE). The UE may determine a Doppler frequency for the downlink channel by measuring the repetitions of the tracking reference signal. The UE may transmit an indication of the downlink Doppler frequency to the base station. The base station may determine the uplink Doppler frequency based on the downlink Doppler frequency. The base station may use the uplink Doppler frequency to select an uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration for the UE.
