Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiuser superposition transmission (MUST) is used to provide multiple concurrent sidelink transmissions using a same set of time and frequency resources. A transmitting user equipment (UE) may provide an indication of concurrent MUST transmissions in sidelink control information (SCI), and a receiving UE may decode one or both of a MUST base layer communication and a MUST enhancement layer communication. The base layer communication may include broadcast or groupcast transmissions to multiple UEs, and the enhancement layer communication may include a unicast transmission between the transmitting UE and a single receiving UE. The indication of concurrent transmissions may be provided in a first stage SCI, and parameters for decoding the base layer and enhancement layer transmissions may be provided in one or multiple second stage SCI transmissions.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication.

In an aspect, the receiver UE determines the first DMRS pattern for the first slot based at least on the first slot having the first slot format, and receives, from the transmitter UE, DMRS in the first slot according to the first DMRS pattern.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a sidelink transmitting (Tx) mobile station may perform a sub-band channel access in candidate frequency resources of an unlicensed band for a sidelink positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission to occur in time resources. The Tx may transmit, from the sidelink Tx mobile station to a sidelink receiving (Rx) mobile station, the sidelink PRS transmission in one or more sub-bands of the unlicensed band that have passed the sub-band channel access. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: A method for estimating the pressure measurement bias of a barometric sensor in a wireless terminal. A location engine using the method generates an enhanced estimate of the measurement bias. The location engine generates the enhanced estimate based in part on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based estimates of the elevation of the wireless terminal, which the terminal generates as it concurrently makes barometric pressure measurements. Each GNSS-based estimate of elevation is often generated from noisy measurements and has an associated uncertainty. The location engine accounts for the uncertainty in the GNSS estimates of elevation by applying an optimal estimation technique, such as Kalman filtering, on the biased pressure measurements and the GNSS-based estimates.

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: Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for channel and/or resource selection for sidelink communications. In some cases, a transmitter user equipment UE may transmit, on a sidelink channel used for communicating with other UEs, a control message indicating at least one range, monitor for feedback associated with detection of the control message by one or more other UEs within the indicated range, and transmit data if the feedback indicates at least that the sidelink channel is free.

Abstract: A playback device detects, with one or more onboard sensors, that the playback device is in motion. The playback device activates a command bypass mode. The command bypass mode causes the playback device to not execute commands applied to a touch-sensitive user interface integrated into the playback device. The playback device then detects, with the one or more onboard sensors, that the playback device is stationary. After detecting that it is stationary, the playback device deactivates the command bypass mode.
