Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include technologies for managing co-existence among multiple Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Radio Access Technologies (RATs) through the setting of a Network Allocation Vector (NAV). MAC layer frame headers contain a duration field that specifies a transmission interval during which a shared channel will be occupied by a particular V2X RAT. The NAV indicates the time period intended to be held for the particular V2X RAT, and acts as an indication for how long stations implementing different V2X RATs must abstain from accessing the shared medium. Stations listen on the shared medium to obtain the MAC layer frame, read the duration field, and set their NAV indicators accordingly. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Various techniques for collective perception messaging are disclosed herein. In an example, a machine receives, from a source device, a signal value for provision to a sink device, the signal value corresponding to a measurement of an environmental value. The machine accesses, from a storage device, an error term for the signal value. The machine accesses, from the storage device, a source reliability term for the source device. The machine accesses, from the storage device, a source-sink relation term based on the source device and the sink device. The machine determines a distribution for the environmental value based on the error term, the source reliability term, and the source-sink relation term. The machine determines, based on the distribution for the environmental value, whether the signal value is reliable.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) (NR V2X) sidelink transmission in a fifth generation (5G) network may determine a transport block size (TBS) for transmission of a transport block (TB) within a current sidelink slot. The UE is configured to encode a physical sidelink shared channel (PSCCH) for transmission within the current sidelink slot. The PSCCH may be encoded to include sidelink control information (SCI). The SCI may indicate a reservation of physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) resources within up to three sidelink slots including the current sidelink slot 102. To determine the TBS, the UE may determine number of resource elements (REs) within the current sidelink slot 102 that are available for transmission of the PSSCH by excluding certain REs of the current sidelink slot.

Abstract: An apparatus and system to enable MNO policy-driven AI decisions and frame structure are described. An AI SAP receives modified context information within a network and determines a response to network events based on MNO policies. The AI SAP includes a context-aware management entity that tracks and updates the context information, a cognition framework entity that processes new data, applies inferences and compares results of the inferences to available knowledge, a situational awareness entity that determines effects of events within the system on objectives based on the MNO policies, and a policy management entity that provides behavioral rules on the system based on the MNO policies. The AI SAP provides QoS modifications based on positional and movement information of a UE by determining timing indicating when the UE is to be within the AP range and adjusting AP activation and synchronization signaling for the UE based on the timing.
