Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to reduce interference caused by power leakage. A first user equipment (UE) or a base station may select communication resources for a sidelink communication based on a distance between UEs reserving frequency resources in a same time window. The first UE or the base station may determine a distance parameter between the first UE and one or more other UEs (e.g., including a second UE) reserving frequency resources within the time window. The distance parameter may represent a physical distance between the first and second UEs or a reference signal received power of the second UE as received by the first UE. The first UE or the base station may select communication resources based on whether the distance parameter is below a threshold, and the first UE may communicate the sidelink communication using the selected resources.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a wireless in-vehicle network (wIVN) capability indication that indicates that the UE is associated with a vehicle that includes a wIVN; receive a response to the wIVN capability indication from another UE; and provide configuration information to a wIVN control unit of the vehicle associated with configuring the wIVN based at least in part on the response. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for licensed wireless in-vehicle network access based on emergency network access control. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes detecting a trigger event for an emergency network access procedure.

The method also includes receiving a second message from the base station, the second message granting the use of the one or more licensed bands for communication via the wIVN.

The UE may identify a performance value from the group of performance values for the sensor based on a performance level of the sensor and the set of rules. After determining the performance value, the UE may transmit an indication of the set of in a first data frame of a message and an indication of the performance value in a second data frame of the message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit the sidelink message to a second UE via a sidelink communications channel of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The first UE or the second UE may transmit a reservation signal to retain the sidelink communication channel for corresponding feedback for the sidelink message (e.g., while the second UE generates a feedback transmission). The second UE may transmit the feedback transmission over the sidelink communication channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting user equipment (UE) such as a vehicle may identify data for transmission and transmit a request message to one or more receiving UEs (e.g., other vehicles). The request message may be associated with a first priority. The transmitting UE may monitor resources for a response message. The response message may be associated with a second priority. If the transmitting UE receives a response message, the transmitting UE may determine whether to transmit the data based on a comparison of the priorities of the request message and the response message. In some cases, the transmitting UE may transmit the data if the transmitting UE does not receive any response message. A receiving UE may receive the request message and determine whether to transmit a response message based on the priority and/or the receive power of the request message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support security techniques for ranging in wireless networks. A first device may transmit an indication to initiate a ranging procedure with a second device, and in response to the indication, the second device may transmit signaling to the first device and to one or more third devices. The first device and the one or more third devices may each determine a respective location metric associated with the second device based on the signaling. The one or more third devices may each transmit, to the first device, the respective location metric. Based on the communicated location metric(s), the first device may determine whether an eavesdropper is present and may communicate with the second device based on the determination.

The apparatus measures a received power of the transmission from the second UE. The apparatus excludes the reserved resources indicated by the second UE from a set of candidate resources based on the received power of the transmission from the second UE meeting a threshold, where the threshold is based at least in part on whether the reserved resources are associated with a retransmission.

Alternatively, the UE may extend the time window for a preconfigured amount of time. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Improved communications, including indication of channel occupancy time-structure information (COT-SI) for NR-U sidelink (NR-U SL) operations is disclosed. A UE may establish a current channel occupancy time (COT) on a shared communication spectrum for UE transmissions in response to a successful listen before talk (LBT) procedure.

The COT-SI message may be transmitted by the UE to one or more neighboring UEs via sidelink transmission. Once the COT-SI message is sent, the UE transmits the UE transmission within the set of time and frequency resource of the current COT.
