  • Patent number: 11953585
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE via reflection by one or more passive devices, a first reference signal (RS) that is based at least in part on a shared first key that corresponds to a configuration of the one or more passive devices. The first UE may receive, from the second UE via reflection, a second RS that is based at least in part on the first key. The first UE may generate a second key based at least in part on a measurement of the second RS. The first UE may transmit a positioning reference signal that is based at least in part on the second key and that is associated with a measurement of a range between the first UE and the second UE. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20240114330
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support cellular communications (e.g., Uu signaling) in a first frequency range and may support sidelink communications in a second, higher frequency range. To reduce the processing overhead and latency involved in sidelink discovery in the second frequency range, the UE may use Uu signaling in the first frequency range to assist with the sidelink discovery. For example, the UE may determine, based on a configuration, an uplink message supporting UE detection in the first frequency range to support sidelink discovery. The UE may monitor for the uplink message in the first frequency range and may detect a second UE based on the monitoring. The UEs may establish a sidelink connection for sidelink communications in the second frequency range based on the detection of the second UE in the first frequency range.

  • Patent number: 11950137
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which two or more UEs of a wireless communications system may establish a sidelink connection. A first UE that is initiating sidelink communications may evaluate whether the sidelink connection can support a quality of service (QoS) for a data flow prior to admitting the data flow. The first UE may evaluate a link quality with one or more other UEs that are to use the data flow on the sidelink connection, evaluate system congestion of time/frequency resources that are available for the sidelink connection, or any combinations thereof, and admit the data flow based on the evaluation. A link quality of the sidelink connection may be determined based on a type of communication associated with the data flow, such as unicast communications with one other UE, multicast communications with multiple other UEs, or broadcast transmissions to multiple UEs.

  • Publication number: 20240107263
    Abstract: In some implementations, a network node of a wireless network may determine that a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection state of a Uu interface of the target UE comprises an inactive or idle state. The network node may determine a time during which the target UE will be in a sidelink (SL) active state, wherein the SL active state comprises a state of operation in which the target UE monitors communication via one or more SL interfaces, transmits communication via the one or more SL interfaces, or both. The network node may send a message, the message for obtaining positioning measurements of the target UE using one or more SL devices corresponding to the one or more SL interfaces, wherein obtaining the positioning measurements is performed while (i) the RRC connection state comprises the inactive or idle state, and (ii) the target UE is in the SL active state.

  • Publication number: 20240107572
    Abstract: A relay user equipment (UE) can relay communication between remote UEs and a network entity via one or more remote device end-to-end (E2E) radio bearers (RB s) established between the network entity and the remote UEs. The remote device E2E radio bearers can be multiplexed into one or more logical channel between the relay UE and the network entity. The relay UE and/or the network entity can allocate communication resources to the remote UEs in consideration of the E2E bearer quality of service (QoS) requirement using, for example, logical channel prioritization at the relay UE and/or different buffer status reports that can provide information on the remote UEs and E2E bearers to facilitate the allocation of resources.
