Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive a sidelink message via a sidelink transmission resource of a shared sidelink resource pool that is shared between a communications according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and communications according to a second RAT. The UE may map sidelink transmission resource occasions of the shared resource pool to a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) occasion and map subchannels of the sidelink transmission occasions to respective resources of the PSFCH occasion. The UE may transmit a sidelink feedback message corresponding to the sidelink message using a resource of the PSFCH occasion corresponding to a subchannel carrying sidelink control information of the sidelink message.

An example method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) may include receiving at least a first sidelink transmission from a second UE, wherein at least a second sidelink transmission from a third UE is scheduled contemporaneously with at least the first sidelink transmission from the second UE. The method may also include transmitting an indication in a transmission occasion to at least one of the second UE or the third UE based at least in part on a prioritization of information for the transmission occasion, wherein the indication indicates that at least the first sidelink transmission from the second UE is scheduled contemporaneously with at least the second sidelink transmission from at least the third UE.

Abstract: A sidelink user equipment (UE) limits sensing of received sidelink communications during a sensing window. The UE selects resources for a future transmission from a resource pool that is based on the sensed received sidelink communications. The UE also sends the future transmission on the selected resources. Limiting sensing may result from reducing a maximum distance between reservations to less than 32 logical slots. Limiting sensing may be sensing with a reduced sensing duty cycle with discontinuous sensing or sensing for a period of time in response to a trigger. The UE may perform partial sensing for periodic traffic, and limit sensing for aperiodic traffic.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), may identify a default modulation and coding scheme table and a preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table associated with a resource pool. The UE may receive, from a transmitting communication device, an indication of the preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table to use for upcoming sidelink communications. The UE may then communicate based on the preconfigured modulation and coding scheme table.

Abstract: A sidelink device can perform a network coded sidelink transmission without increasing resource overhead by using resources originally reserved for retransmission of a packet. The sidelink device can reuse the reserved resources when retransmission is not needed based on feedback of the initial sidelink transmission. In one aspect, the sidelink device can use reserved retransmission resources to transmit a network coded transmission of sidelink data received from other sidelink devices. In one aspect, the sidelink device can use the reserved retransmission resources to transmit a network coded transmission including a retransmission of the sidelink device's own sidelink data and sidelink data from other devices.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may generate a pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence, modulate the PN sequence based at least in part on a modulation order parameter, and transmit the PN sequence in one or more symbols prior to transmitting sidelink data. The one or more symbols used to transmit the PN sequence may be used for automatic gain control (AGC) training at a receiving device. The user equipment may then transmit the sidelink data in a plurality of symbols that are subsequent in time relative to the one or more symbols used to transmit the PN sequence, and the receiving device may process the sidelink data based on the AGC training. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a first UE. The method includes receiving a data transmission from a second UE. The data transmission is associated with a feedback procedure for data transmissions that is based on a distance between the first UE and a transmitting UE. When the first UE (i) cannot successfully decode the data transmission and (ii) cannot determine the distance between the first UE and the second UE, the method includes determining whether one or more criteria are satisfied for sending, to the second UE, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the data transmission as part of the feedback procedure, where the NACK indicates the first UE could not successfully decode the data transmission. The method including transmitting the NACK to the second UE when the one or more criteria are satisfied.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for S-SSB transmission are provided. In an aspect, an S-SSS symbol is followed by a gap symbol. In another aspect, a first PSBCH symbol is followed by an S-SSS symbol. In a further aspect, the same MPR is used for the entire S-SSB, thus reducing/mitigating transient periods. For example, the S-SSS symbols in the S-SSB may be selected from a set of sequences having the same MPR as the S-PSS symbols. Alternatively, the MPR of the entire S-SSB may be selected based on a sequence ID of an S-SSS. In an aspect, additional symbols may be configured in the S-SSB to compensate for power reduction.

The method further includes communicating with the second UE based on the first resource reservations and the second resource reservations.

A wireless communication device may be configured to receive at least one resource reservation message using a first RAT. For example, each resource reservation message may identify at least one resource of a plurality of resources of a sidelink channel for a respective sidelink transmission using the first RAT. The wireless communication device may further be configured to estimate a channel occupancy of the sidelink channel of a second RAT based on measurements obtained over a total number of the plurality of resources and the at least one resource reservation message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from another UE, a coordination message that includes resource information (e.g., a preference status) for communication resources. The UE receiving the coordination message may determine a status of one or more resources based on the resource information, an intended recipient of the coordination message (e.g., based on a destination identifier of the coordination message), or a communication connection associated with the one or more resources. The status may indicate that a respective resource of the one or more resources is available, reserved, preferred, or non-preferred, or some combination thereof. In some examples, the one or more resources may be for a sidelink connection or a unicast connection. The receiving UE may utilize the determined status to select one or more resources for a sidelink transmission.

For each slot between the first slot and the second slot, the resource reevaluation may be performed based on the first resource exclusion RSRP threshold determined for the first slot.
