Abstract: A video stream scheduling unit may schedule resource allocations for each video frame of a plurality of video frames of video streams from a plurality of video sources based on a compressed frame type of the video frame, determine that a total frequency bandwidth of scheduled resource allocations for the frames concurrently due for transmission is greater than or equal to a threshold bandwidth, and receive the video streams from the plurality of video sources based on the scheduled resource allocations. The scheduling unit may delay or cancel a video frame with low priority or may instruct a video source to increase the compression rate of the video stream.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for shared radio frequency spectrum band access information. A sensing device may monitor one or more frequencies of the shared radio frequency spectrum band and may receive signaling indicating access information (e.g., automated frequency control information). The access information may indicate one or more frequencies of the shared radio frequency spectrum band that are accessible for the sensing device. The scheduling device may obtain the access information from an access point, local storage media, or the like. In some examples, the scheduling device may transmit signaling indicating the accessible frequencies based on a request message from the sensing device. The sensing device may receive the access information and may communicate on one or more of the indicated frequencies accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One or more user equipments (UEs) may communicate in a wireless communications system by transmitting and receiving sidelink messages from other UEs. The UEs may transmit acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback based on reception of sidelink messages for other UEs. The UEs may identify a sidelink feedback resource set including a set of feedback transmission slots for transmitting sidelink feedback. The UEs may perform NACK-only feedback, and may streamline feedback transmissions based on monitoring for other NACKs from other UEs. The UEs may prioritize feedback transmissions when the UE has multiple feedback transmissions queued, and when a UE has feedback to transmit and to receive in overlapping transmission time intervals (TTIs).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support configuring a user equipment (UE) operating in unlicensed spectrum with a set of component carriers (CCs) for sidelink communications using the unlicensed spectrum. In a first example, a UE may select a CC from the set of candidate CCs, for example, using a carrier selection configuration, and may select a resource in the CC for a sidelink communication. In a second example, a UE may select multiple candidate resources for a sidelink communication, for example, using a resource selection configuration and based on sensing performed by the UE. To indicate the reservation of a candidate resource, the UE may indicate both a CC in which the reserved resource is located and a location of the reserved resource within the carrier. The UE may transmit a sidelink message using a selected candidate resource in the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: Aspects for reducing interference for transmissions in unlicensed frequency bands are disclosed. An apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE) with information to transmit, identifies before transmitting the information in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, a specified duration of a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in that spectrum. Based on the specified duration, the UE reduces a transmission time duration of a slot of the UE to increase a time duration of a remainder of the slot sufficient to prevent, or decrease the likelihood of, a transmission by the UE in the slot from interfering with an LBT operation by another UE.

In an example, a receiving user equipment (UE) may receive, from a transmitting UE, a first transmission in a first channel occupancy time (COT). The receiving UE may also determine a first feedback occasion is after a last slot of the first COT. The receiving UE may also determine one or more feedback configurations. The receiving UE may also transmit, to the transmitting UE, a feedback message indicating decoding of the first transmission in the first feedback occasion or a second feedback occasion based on the one or more feedback configurations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support selection of an unoccupied sidelink resource associated with a higher communication quality in a shared spectrum. User equipments (UEs) operating in shared spectrum may be configured with a set of candidate carriers for sidelink communications using the shared spectrum. A transmitting UE may select a number of resources for a sidelink transmission that are available in a same transmission time occasion and on multiple carriers of the set of carriers. The UE may perform a channel access procedure for each carrier of the multiple carriers prior to the transmission time occasion and may transmit a sidelink communication on at least one selected resource if the channel access procedure succeeds in at least one of the carriers of the multiple carriers.

Abstract: A first UE may configure, during a COT, an initial transmission and one or more subsequent transmissions that follow the initial transmission. The one or more subsequent transmissions are configured to prevent a release of the COT. Based on the configuration, the first UE may transmit the initial transmission including an indication of the COT and a time period for transmitting the one or more subsequent transmissions. The first UE may subsequently transmit the one or more subsequent transmissions during the indicated time period. A second UE may receive the indication of the COT and the time period where the release of the COT is prevented. The second UE may prepare a packet for transmission during the time period where the release of the COT is prevented and transmit the packet during the COT following the time period where the release of the COT is prevented.
