Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be in communication with a first and second transmitting device (e.g., by sidelink communication links). The UE may receive, from the first transmitting device, a first reference signal on a first set of resources. The UE may additionally receive, from the second transmitting device, a second reference signal on a second set of resources that overlap in the time domain with the first set of resources. In some cases, the first and second set of resources may additionally overlap in the frequency domain. The UE may determine synchronization information for time tracking or frequency tracking of sidelink communications with the first and second transmitting devices based on the first and second reference signals. The UE may communicate with the first and second transmitting devices based on the synchronization information for time tracking or frequency tracking.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for facilitating device-to-device (D2D) communications on sidelinks. Some implementations more specifically relate to a user equipment (UE) determining sidelink communication parameter corresponding to UE assistance information or UE capability information. The UE may also determine an attribute associated with the sidelink communication parameter, the attribute indicating the sidelink communication parameter is a dynamic parameter or a static parameter. The UE may further transmit to another UE, on a sidelink, the sidelink communication parameter and the attribute. The UE may also communicate with the other UE on the sidelink based on the transmitted sidelink communication parameter and the attribute.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Sidelink UEs may be configured with a synchronization reference signal that may be used by the UEs to synchronize time and frequency resources. A first and second UE may perform a beam sweeping procedure to identify transmit and receive beams to use for communications between the UEs. A synchronization reference signal procedure may be initiated and the first UE may receive a sidelink synchronization reference signal from the second UE using the established receive beam. The UEs may align time and frequency resources for communications between the UEs and the UEs may communicate via the sidelink channel based on the time synchronization, frequency synchronization, or both, determined using the sidelink synchronization signal. In some cases, a sidelink UE may receive multiple synchronization reference signals from multiple sidelink UEs simultaneously, where each synchronization reference signal may include a UE identifier.

Abstract: A method of wireless communications by a sidelink UE (user equipment) includes receiving a first signal as part of a discontinuous reception (DRX) wake-up procedure at the beginning of a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) ON duration. The method also includes transmitting a response to the first signal as part of a DRX wake-up procedure. The method further includes starting a timer after sending the response. The method still further includes entering a sleep state upon not receiving a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) before the timer expires.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for using different configurations for downlink or uplink transmissions associated with different transmission configuration indication (TCI) states (e.g., transmitted on different beams). In one example, a base station may use different configurations for downlink transmissions to a user equipment (UE), and the base station may indicate the different configurations to the UE. For instance, the base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) indicating a baseline configuration and other configurations as a delta of the baseline configuration. In another example, a base station may dynamically indicate a timing advance to a UE (e.g., in DCI or flow control feedback) for an uplink transmission from the UE associated with a TCI state, and the UE may use the dynamically indicated timing advance for uplink transmissions associated with the TCI state.

Abstract: Some aspects described herein relate to configuring user equipment (UE) for performing sidelink (SL) random access (RA) procedures, which may include assistance from a base station or other network component. One or more parameters for performing a random access procedure with a second UE over a sidelink can be received from a base station. A first random access message can be transmitted to the second UE as part of the random access procedure over the sidelink. A second random access message can be received, from the second UE, in response to transmitting the first random access message, and as part of the random access procedure over the sidelink, where at least one of transmitting the first random access message or receiving the second random access message are based on the one or more parameters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a configured grant that indicates time-frequency resources for a user equipment (UE) to use to transmit sidelink or uplink messages in a wireless communications system. To reduce the amount of low priority traffic that may interfere with higher priority traffic, the base station may configure a threshold probability to allow high priority sidelink transmissions and to cancel low priority transmissions. The base station may transmit a cancellation indication that includes a priority indication instructing the UE to cancel transmissions having a priority less than a priority threshold during the allocated time-frequency resources. Based on transmitting the cancellation indication, the base station may cancel transmissions that have low priority, and the UE may determine whether to transmit (or to refrain from transmitting) one or more messages based on the priority of the message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may be scheduled for communicating a first message over a first communication link with a base station and a second message over second communication link with a second UE. The first UE may select to communicate using the first communication link or the second communication link based on one or more prioritization rules that may involve the priority of the first message and the second message. The first UE may identify a mapping between the priority of the first message and the priority of the second message that may enable a comparison of the priorities of the first message and the second message. The first UE may select to communicate using the communication link of the message associated with the higher priority.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for training a beam for multiple component carriers (CCs) for concurrent communications in a wireless communications system associated with limited user equipment (UE) capabilities. The beam training may improve a receive or transmit beam for two or more CCs as a group that share an RF chain. The UE may receive, via a first receive beam, a first reference signal on a group of CCs over a first symbol. The UE may also receive, via a second receive beam, a second reference signal on the group of CCs over a second symbol. The UE may select a receive beam for a subsequent communication based on determining a value of a parameter for each of the first and the second receive beam.

The UE may receive, during the PSCCH/PSSCH occasion, a signal indicative of a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) command. The UE may determine to stop monitoring the PSCCH for the PSCCH/PSSCH occasion in response to the sidelink DRX command.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication over a sidelink between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The first UE may receive, from a base station, a first sidelink grant for a transmission between the first UE and the second UE.

The first UE may monitor a configured duration of a sidelink retransmission timer from an end of the sidelink round trip time timer. The first UE may allow start of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode after the duration of the sidelink retransmission time if a second grant is not received during the sidelink retransmission timer.
