    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to select, from a resource pool for sidelink communications, a set of resources for one or more sidelink messages to be performed by the UE. The UE may select an additional resource to transmit a resource reservation for an earliest resource of the set of resources, the selection of the additional resource based on a time interval between the additional resource and the earliest resource satisfying a time threshold. The UE may transmit, via the additional resource, An inter-UE (IUE) coordination message including an indication of the earliest resource within a first-stage sidelink control information portion of the IUE coordination message, and may transmit a first sidelink message of the one or more sidelink messages within the earliest resource indicated via the first-stage sidelink control information portion of the IUE coordination message.

  • Publication number: 20230080822
    Abstract: Independent ranging sessions that are initiated by multiple initiating user equipments (UEs) are detected and combined into a single combined ranging session to reduce overhead. The independent ranging sessions may be determined to be nearby and concurrent when a UE detects a number of ranging cycles within a predetermined time. The UE may send messages to each initiator UE indicating that the ranging sessions should be combined and the initiator UEs will terminated initiating any further ranging sessions. Combined ranging session may be initiated by the UE and may include all of the participating UEs from the independent ranging sessions. The combined ranging session continues until it is determined that one or more UEs in the combined ranging session are not receiving ranging signals from other UEs.

  • Publication number: 20230064669
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for regulating a size of a resource information forwarding message to balance the overhead associated with transmitting the resource information forwarding message with the usefulness of the resource information forwarding message. A first user equipment (UE) may receive a sidelink control information (SCI) message from a third UE indicating resources reserved by the third UE, and it may be appropriate for the first UE to transmit a resource information forwarding message to a second UE indicating the resources reserved by the third UE. As such, the first UE may determine a maximum size of the resource information forwarding message, and the first UE may generate and transmit the resource information forwarding message to the second UE in accordance with the determined maximum size.

  • Publication number: 20230061073
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for managing timing for inter-user equipment (UE) coordination to prevent or minimize interference or collisions between sidelink transmissions. A first UE may determine a time window in which to select sidelink resources for an inter-UE coordination message based on a minimum time configured for selecting the sidelink resources. The minimum time configured for selecting the sidelink resources for the inter-UE coordination message may be different from a minimum time configured for selecting sidelink resources for other sidelink messages. The first UE may then select the sidelink resources in the time window for the inter-UE coordination message and transmit the inter-UE coordination message on the selected sidelink resources to the second UE over a sidelink.

  • Publication number: 20230056390
    Abstract: Various aspects relate to vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication and collision avoidance using data association of data from different vehicle-to-everything (V2X) devices. In some aspects, a V2X device (e.g., a vehicle) can determine or estimate the location of a pedestrian by associating data pertaining to the pedestrian from multiple V2X devices and sensors. The association of data can reduce the uncertainties of the V2X device in the determination of the pedestrian's location. A vehicle V2X device can send out a warning indication or alert to the pedestrian or a V2X device of the pedestrian.

  • Publication number: 20230036475
    Abstract: Techniques described herein provide for enhanced ultra-local navigation services for V2X devices (e.g., smartphones incorporating V2X chip sets). The V2X devices can transmit vehicle information to edge network devices (e.g., roadside units). The roadside units can be deployed at intersections or along roads to collect traffic information through various sensor inputs and V2X communications with multiple vehicles. The communication between V2X devices and the edge network devices can be accomplished through wireless communication (e.g., direct PC5 interface or through local Uu interface with edge computing. The edge network devices can perform local route optimization and compute one or more recommendations (e.g., a recommend route, a recommended speed, a recommended lane). The edge network devices can transmit the one or more recommendations via a wireless communication to the V2X devices. The V2X devices can display the recommendations to a user.
