  • Patent number: 12133243
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhancing sidelink resource utilization for a user equipment (UE) that supports full duplex (FD) communications. For example, an FD UE may receive incoming sidelink communication over a first set of resources and, in FD mode, simultaneously transmit another sidelink communication over the same first set of resources. According to aspects of the present disclosure, the potential interference between the two sidelink communications will be mitigated or reduced, such as by having the FD UE negotiate with other sidelink UEs over transmission power levels and related aspects, such as beam coordination and/or resource subset designation, or the like.

  • Patent number: 12120046
    Abstract: This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: A first access point detects a channel. If the first access point detects an idle first channel, the first access point sends a first trigger frame to at least one second access point, where the first trigger frame is used to trigger the at least one second access point to send data on the first channel after a first preset time period elapses. In this way, an existing CSMA channel detection mechanism may be compatible with the method, and a conflict caused by contention of a plurality of APs for a channel at the same time can be avoided, which helps improve network transmission efficiency, and helps improve transmission performance.
