Publication number: 20230413276Abstract: A method for WTRU autonomous resource selection may comprise receiving a TX resource pool for D2D communication from a base station. The WTRU may sense one or more resources of the TX resource pool and determine resources for transmission of control information and D2D data, based on the sensing. The WTRU may then transmit, to another WTRU, the control information and the D2D data on the determined resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Ghyslain Pelletier, Diana Pani, Benoit Pelletier, Christopher R.

Publication number: 20230362618Abstract: Physical layer processing and procedures for device-to-device (D2D) discovery signal generation and transmission and scheduling of D2D discovery signals are described. Detection and measurement of a D2D discovery signal, D2D signal identity management, and monitoring by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) of PDCCH for D2D discovery scheduling is described, as is a WTRU that may be configured with a D2D-specific transmission/reception opportunity pattern. The discovery signal may carry a payload for explicit information about user and/or service identity, and may be mapped to physical resources in such a way as to decouple transmission/reception of the discovery signal from downlink operations. A WTRU may measure a D2D discovery signal quality and report to the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Gwenael Poitau, Ghyslain Pelletier, Marian Rudolf, Benoit Pelletier, Paul Marinier, Diana Pani

Publication number: 20230189119Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing device-to-device (D2D) discovery are described. A service discovery process may include a discoverable device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) sending a discovery request, over a wireless connection, for a radio resource for the purpose of performing a transmission for radio frequency (RF) proximity detection for a given service. The WTRU may receive a discovery response including a configuration for RF proximity detection from a network, which configuration may be associated to the service. The configuration for RF proximity may be received by dedicated signaling, (e.g., physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)), in particular for a discoverable WTRU. The configuration for RF proximity may be received on a broadcast channel, (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Gwenael Poitau, Ghyslain Pelletier, Paul Marinier, Diana Pani, Samian Kaur, Benoit Pelletier

If the device may have simultaneous transmissions and such transmissions may exceed the maximum transmit power, the device may reallocate power based on a priority or priority setting. The device may further determine a maximum cross link power, a maximum device power, and a cross link transmit power level such that the device may further control the power for transmissions based thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2020Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Tao Deng, Gregory S Sternberg, Paul Marinier, Gwenael Poitau, Marian Rudolf
