Patent number: 12279216Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for sidelink synchronization source selection. For example, a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) may include transmitting, from the UE to a target UE, a message including information associated with a first synchronization reference source associated with the UE. The method may include receiving, at the UE from the target UE in response to the message, a response message including an indication of whether the target UE can use the first synchronization reference source for sidelink positioning. The method can further include determining, at the UE based on the response message, whether to use the first synchronization reference source or a different synchronization reference source as a master synchronization reference source for the sidelink positioning.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Soumya Das, Mohammad Nekoui

Patent number: 12262246Abstract: A V2X event-message dictionary and a binning function are received from a cloud server. Sensor data is compared to events specified in the V2X event-message dictionary to identify a best-fit event for the sensor data. A number of bins and a bin number for the event are computed using the binning function. A V2X message is transmitted including the number of bins and the bin number, thereby avoiding including the sensor data in the V2X message.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Navid Tafaghodi Khajavi, Mohsen Bahrami, Amin Ariannezhad, Mohammad Nekoui
