  • Publication number: 20230413227
    Abstract: A vehicle-enabled user equipment (VUE) and related techniques are disclosed. In one aspect, the VUE issues a periodic broadcast, or signals a response to a requesting source, identifying its location management capability (LMC). The UE forms a link with a recipient VUE of the broadcast to perform joint localization of the pedestrian UE (PUE). Joint localization by VUE and another VUE may be performed by VUEs and PUEs in the region exchanging ranging signals and ego measurements. The VUE determines a location jointly of the PUE. The location can be determined upon a request, periodically, or in response to a triggered event.

  • Patent number: 11849394
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a vehicle (V-UE) broadcasts multi-phased ranging signals with which other entities may determine the range to the V-UE. The multi-phased ranging signals may include a first message, which may be broadcast in the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) spectrum, includes ranging information, such as a source identifier, location information for the broadcasting V-UE, and an expected time of broadcast of the ranging signal. The ranging signal may then be broadcast at the expected time and may include the source identifier. A second message, which be broadcast in the ITS spectrum, may include clock error information for the V-UE. A receiving entity may determine the range to the V-UE based on the time of arrival of the ranging signal and the expected time of transmission, as well as the clock error information. The receiving entity may further generate a position estimate based on the received location information.

  • Publication number: 20230396999
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A target user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a session key from an initiator UE in a sidelink communications system, from a network entity (e.g., a base station), or the like. In some cases, the target UE may also receive an indication of a nonce in a message of a PRS procedure. The target UE may select a positioning reference signal (PRS) sequence for the PRS procedure using the session key and optionally the nonce, such as by using a defined function at the target UE with the session key and the nonce as an input. Once the target UE selects the PRS sequence, the target UE may encode the PRS sequence and may transmit the PRS sequence to the initiator UE.

  • Publication number: 20230368670
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first user equipment (UE) may monitor various sensors to obtain data associated with a user of the first UE, and may determine that the user is in a vulnerable state based on monitoring these sensors. The vulnerable state of the user may include an inebriated state, a distracted state, an impaired state, or a disabled state, among other examples. After detecting the vulnerable state of the user, the first UE may transmit a public safety message (PSM) to other devices in the area. Upon receiving the PSM from the UE, a network entity may use positioning information to identify other UEs within a threshold distance of the first UE, and may transmit an alert message to these UEs. The techniques described herein may reduce the probability of nearby pedestrians or vehicles colliding with the user.

  • Patent number: 11818757
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a downlink communication from a network over a first interface transmitted to one or more WTRUs in a group of WTRUs. The WTRU may determine an access class of the WTRU based on a packet loss percentage of the downlink communication. The access class may be associated with a contention window for accessing a second interface. The WTRU may transmit packet loss information to the one or more WTRUs over the second interface in the contention window. The WTRU may receive packet loss feedback from the one or more WTRUs over the second interface. The WTRU may determine that the access class of the WTRU is a highest class of the one or more WTRUs. The WTRU may transmit a single groupcast negative acknowledgement (gNACK) to the network on behalf of the one or more WTRUs over the first interface.

  • Patent number: 11785467
    Abstract: Aspects relate to techniques for enabling a UE to detect a potential mistrusted UE that may be sharing inaccurate sidelink assistance information with other UEs. In an aspect, a first UE may receive a plurality of sidelink assistance information from other UEs. The first UE can further identify an amount of the plurality of sidelink resources for which a second UE provides respective inconsistent sidelink assistance information with respect to other UEs. In response to the amount exceeding a mistrust detection threshold, the first UE can transmit a report indicating that the second UE is a potential mistrusted UE to a centralized node. Based on the received reports associated with the second UE, the centralized node can transmit a mistrust indication indicating that the second UE is an actual mistrusted UE with respect to subsequent sidelink assistance information associated with the second UE.

  • Publication number: 20230309019
    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.
