  • Publication number: 20240267875
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for transmission of 5G side link positioning reference signals (SL-PRS) while in 5G side link mode 2 (for example, V2X). Using a shared resource pool and no data transmission, a UE determines three parameters (time, frequency, and PRS index) for transmission of a PRS using a comb structure. Using a dedicated resource pool with data transmission, the UE populates a time frequency grid for slot transmission so that PRS does not conflict with demodulation reference signals (DMRS).

  • Publication number: 20240090018
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may determine, based on a criterion, whether to indicate, to a gNB, that it is a reduced capability (RedCap) UE during or after a random access (RA) procedure, and indicate that it is the RedCap UE during or after the RA procedure according to a determination result. The RedCap UE has a reduced quantity of receive branches or a reduce bandwidth than a non-RedCap UE. The gNB may determine whether a first message received during the RA procedure indicates that the UE is the RedCap UE. When the first message indicates the UE as the RedCap UE, the gNB sends a second message to the UE during the RA procedure using a coverage recovery technique. When the first message does not indicate the UE as the RedCap UE, the gNB determines whether the UE is the RedCap UE after the RA procedure is completed.

  • Patent number: 11910342
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided herein for determining a synchronizing master for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a cellular network environment. In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives a discovery signal comprising a timing reference, and determines a transmitter of the discovery signal. In accordance with the determination of the transmitter of the discovery signal, the UE performs one of synchronizing to the timing reference in the discovery signal and transmitting a second discovery signal. The UE performs the synchronizing to the timing reference if the transmitter of the discovery is a cellular network. Alternatively, the UE transmits the second discovery signal upon determining that the transmitter of the discovery signal is a second UE that is out of coverage of a cellular network.
