Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may perform, on a set of information bits, a distribution matching procedure to obtain a distributed amplitude symbol sequence. In some cases, the wireless device may perform the distribution matching procedure using approximations of quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences that each have a same length and a same transmission energy. The wireless device may then encode the distributed amplitude symbol sequence and transmit the encoded distributed amplitude sequence. A device that receives the encoded distributed amplitude sequence may perform a distribution dematching procedure on the distributed amplitude sequence based on approximating quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating a sidelink resource pool, a time gap, and a periodicity of feedback occasions. The UE may generate feedback bits associated with multiple received sidelink messages based on the configuration information. The UE may transmit the feedback bits in a single, multi-bit feedback message according to one or more rules. In some examples, the UE may drop one or more sets of feedback bits (e.g., in the case of a collision of too many feedback messages in a single slot) based on a weighted average priority level of one or more valid feedback bits in each of multiple sets of feedback bits.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to use of cyclic prefix (CP) extensions for channel occupancy time (COT) sharing among sidelink user equipment devices (UEs) are provided. A first UE detects a first sidelink transmission in a COT, the COT for sharing with multiple sidelink UEs including the first sidelink UE. The first UE may determine a CP extension length for transmitting a second sidelink transmission after the first sidelink transmission, where a gap duration between the first sidelink transmission and the second sidelink transmission satisfies a listen-before-talk (LBT) gap time threshold. The first UE may apply a CP extension having the CP extension length to the second sidelink transmission and transmit, to a second sidelink UE, the second sidelink transmission with the CP extension.

Abstract: Enhancement of uplink transmissions with survival time or delay sensitive data is discussed. A set of time sensitive resources is preconfigured for one or more user equipment (UEs). A serving base station communicates an identification of the configured time sensitive resources to the UEs. Upon detection of time sensitive data for transmission, a UE may send a time sensitive scheduling request to the base station that indicates the UE will be transmitting time sensitive data on the configured resources. When shared amount multiple UEs, the serving base station may send availability signals to the other UEs when the configured time sensitive resources are being used by another UE and when the configured resources are available again. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
