  • Patent number: 12150057
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A vehicle user equipment (VUE) may transmit an iterative wake-up signal (WUS) to a first roadside unit (RSU). The iterative WUS may include location information associated with an expected path of the VUE and may instruct the first RSU to transmit one or more other WUSs to at least a second RSU that supports communication along a portion of the expected path of the VUE. In some cases, the first RSU may transmit an iterative WUS to the second RSU, the second RSU may transmit an iterative WUS to a third RSU, and so on until the final RSU along the expected path is woken up with a normative (e.g., non-iterative) WUS. An RSU may provide safety information to the VUE, and after the VUE leaves a service area associated with an RSU, the RSU may activate a low power mode.

  • Patent number: 12137396
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a mobile wireless communication device is operated for motion sensing. In some aspects, wireless signals transmitted from a second wireless communication device through a space during a time period are received at a first wireless communication device. By operation of the first wireless communication device, channel state information is generated based on the wireless signals. Whether the first wireless communication device moved during the time period is detected. In response to detecting that the first wireless communication device moved relative to the second wireless communication device during the time period, motion sensing parameters of a motion sensing system are updated. The channel state information is processed according to the updated motion sensing parameters to detect motion of an object—other than the first wireless communication device—in the space during the time period.
