Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sidelink wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) engaged in sidelink communications may provide for radio link maintenance of the sidelink connection by initiating a maintenance procedure, such as a measurement procedure, when one or more conditions are detected. The one or more conditions may include a threshold time being exceeded since a data transmission via the sidelink connection, or a threshold time being exceeded since a successful reception of a sidelink transmission from another UE. An access stratum layer at the initiating UE may format a data packet in the absence of higher layer data to be transmitted via the sidelink connection to initiate the maintenance procedure.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to distributed-tone resource unit (RU) operation in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes frequency tones of a resource unit (RU) over a distribution bandwidth as a distributed-tone RU (dRU). The communication entity then communicates using the distributed-tone RU in a 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) system. In some cases, the dRU is distributed over an entire bandwidth. Alternatively, the dRU operation is implemented per frequency segment. Alternatively, the dRU co-exists with regular or localized RU.

Abstract: In some implementations a system can be configured to reduce the burden of pairing user devices with playback devices. For example, all users (or user devices) who commonly operate within a particular environment (e.g., a home) can be configured as authorized users of playback devices within the particular environment. When one of the authorized users pairs a user device with a playback device, all of the user devices for all authorized users can be automatically paired with the playback device as a result of the single pairing. Thus, only a single authorized user is burdened with the pairing process in order to pair all authorized users with the playback device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may selectively determine to decode a downlink shared channel multicast transmission based on whether the downlink shared channel includes a retransmission of an initial multicast transmission. A base station may transmit a message in a downlink control channel to indicate if the downlink shared channel is carrying the retransmission of the initial multicast transmission. For example, the base station may transmit a group random network temporary identifier, downlink control information with a retransmission indicator bit, or both to indicate if the downlink shared channel is carrying the retransmission. In some cases, the message in the downlink control channel may be received at a layer one (L1) of the UE, and the downlink shared channel transmission may be decoded at L1 of the UE and sent to a layer two (L2) of the UE for processing.

Abstract: An architecture, for a cellular communications system, is described herein in which a “bearer-less” model is used for both the radio interface and the network core. Instead of using an individual Layer 2 bearer for each Quality of Service (QoS) class, in the architecture described herein, a common Layer 2 connection (e.g., a Layer 2 “fat pipe”) may be used to handle traffic flows between a User Equipment (UE) device and an external Packet Data Network (PDN). Additionally, a bearer-less architecture may be used in the radio interface (i.e., between User Equipment (UE) and the eNB).

Abstract: Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes communicate with one another in half-duplex mode. Such a multiplexing of the communications of the IAB node requires simultaneous execution of a “mobile terminal” function and of a “base station” function by the IAB node. However, these two functions are not synchronised with one another, resulting in a lack of temporal alignment between the data communicated with the parent node and the data communicated with the child node, which causes interference that negatively impacts the quality of the communications between the different IAB nodes involved. Existing solutions suffer from long data processing times and are expensive. Accordingly, a time offset is introduced during the processing of the data by the child node, in order to take into account the lack of synchronisation between the “mobile terminal” function and the “base station” function of the current node.

Abstract: Techniques for position estimation using uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) signals via a fully or partially reciprocal wireless channel between a User Equipment (UE) and terrestrial transceiver can be enhanced by leveraging information obtained from UL or DL signals having the stronger Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This information can include the number of paths and/or complex sinusoids, and can be shared with the base station or location server to parameterize the model of the wireless channel. In some embodiments, the UE can further determine a quality metric for the model and send it to the location server or terrestrial transceiver.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), such as a full-duplex UE, may receive a downlink transmission from a first transmit-receive point (TRP) in a full-duplex multi-TRP configuration. The UE may perform an uplink transmission to a second TRP in the full-duplex multi-TRP configuration based at least in part on a timing advance adjustment associated with the uplink transmission. The UE may apply the timing advance adjustment based at least in part on an indication received from a base station. The indication may be to set a timing advance offset to a value that satisfies a threshold value based at least in part on the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission being associated with two different TRPs. The downlink transmission and the uplink transmission may not be separated by a guard symbol when the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission are associated with the two different TRPs, which may improve a resource utilization.
