  • Publication number: 20240163904
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for sidelink resource selection or exclusion of multi-consecutive slot transmission (MCSt) in a wireless communication system to enhance and/or modify Legacy sidelink Mode 2 operation for the MCSt. A method of a first device can comprise triggering or requesting sensing-based resource selection or re-selection for performing one or more Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) or Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) transmissions in a sidelink resource pool in unlicensed or shared spectrum, determining a first parameter for determining or initializing candidate multi-slot resources, receiving a Sidelink Control Information (SCI) for reserving one or more sidelink resources, selecting a number of sidelink resources from valid/identified/remaining candidate multi-slot resources after exclusion, and performing the one or more PSSCH or PSCCH transmissions on at least one of the selected number of sidelink resources.

  • Publication number: 20240163909
    Abstract: A method of a first device can comprise receiving a sidelink resource pool configuration of a sidelink resource pool for sidelink reference signal, wherein comb-N structure or design is applied or utilized for sidelink reference signal resources in one occasion in the sidelink resource pool, and wherein the sidelink resource pool configuration comprises or provides one or more frequency or comb offsets, among N frequency or comb offsets associated with the comb-N structure or design, for determining one or more usable, available, or candidate sidelink reference signal resources, selecting or determining a first sidelink reference signal resource, among the one or more usable, available, or candidate sidelink reference signal resources, in the one occasion, and performing a first sidelink reference signal transmission on the first sidelink reference signal resource and performing a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) transmission for scheduling the first sidelink reference signal transmission in the one o

  • Publication number: 20240121804
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses can comprise a first device in a wireless communication system receiving configuration of one or more first sidelink resource pools for at least sidelink data transmission and configuration of one or more second sidelink resource pools for sidelink reference signal transmission, receiving a Downlink Control Information (DCI) for sidelink, wherein the DCI comprises a resource pool index corresponding to one sidelink resource pool, determining the DCI for scheduling sidelink data transmission or sidelink reference signal transmission based on at least the resource pool index or the one sidelink resource pool, acquiring or determining fields or information in the DCI based on the determination that the DCI is for scheduling sidelink data transmission or sidelink reference signal transmission, determining a sidelink resource based on the acquired or determined fields, or the information in the DCI, and performing a sidelink transmission on the sidelink resource in the one sidelin

  • Patent number: 11937266
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a first device, a grant is received from a network node. The grant allocates a set of sidelink data resources. One or more sidelink data transmissions are performed on the set of sidelink data resources. A second feedback information associated with the one or more sidelink data transmissions is received and/or detected. An uplink resource is derived. A first feedback information is transmitted on the uplink resource to the network node. The first feedback information is set based upon the second feedback information.

  • Publication number: 20240077922
    Abstract: An electronic system using a USB type-C port and an abnormal elimination method thereof are provided. After sending a hard reset request to a power adapter, a host device determines whether to enter an error recovery state according to whether an initialization signal is at a first preset level for a first preset time, so that the initialization signal is changed to a second preset level, or whether to force the initialization signal to change to the second preset level according to whether the initialization signal is at the first preset level for a second preset time.

  • Patent number: 11924876
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for handling partial sensing and discontinuous reception for sidelink communication to reduce potential latency due to additional sensing and to improve resource utilization efficiency. Various embodiments can comprise a first device performing sidelink communication to at least a second device, or a second device in a sidelink resource pool, and triggering to perform resource selection for a sidelink data at a timing, wherein the first device (already) receives or monitors sidelink control information for a (contiguous) time duration before the timing. The first device can perform sensing for a contiguous sensing duration after the timing, determine or select a first sidelink resource from a set of sidelink resources, and perform a first sidelink transmission on the first sidelink resource for transmitting the sidelink data to the second device.

  • Publication number: 20140297173
    Abstract: An alert system for an automobile is provided with in combination a buzzer; a lamp; two sensors each disposed in a vehicle door of either side of the automobile; two activation devices each disposed in the vehicle door of either side of the automobile and operatively connected to an inner door handle; and a controller electrically connected to the activation devices, the buzzer, the lamp, the sensors, indicator lights, and a horn. After parking the automobile, one sensor sensing a vehicle coming from behind and one side, and a vehicle door being opened by pulling the inner door handle, the activation device is activated by the inner door, a signal is generated by the activation device, and the signal is sent to the controller which instructs the buzzer to make a buzzing sound, the lamp to light, the indicator lights to flash, and the horn to sound an alarm.
