Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may receive, from a second UE, a first message that indicates a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP) switch, for the second UE, to a first sidelink BWP, where the first message includes an indication of the first sidelink BWP and a first sidelink resource pool in the first sidelink BWP. The first UE may transmit, to the second UE, a second message that confirms the sidelink BWP switch for the second UE. The first UE may receive, from the second UE, a third message that activates the sidelink BWP switch, for the second UE, to the first sidelink BWP. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A non-sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS)-transmitting user equipment (UE) may initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) including multiple contiguous slots and a gap slot. The non-SLSS UE may detect an SLSS UE (capable of transmitting sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs)) and assume that the gap slot will be filled with an S-SSB. The non-SLSS may transmit a sidelink message during the COT after the gap slot, based on the assumption. Alternatively, based on the SLSS UE indicating that it is capable of transmitting the S-SSB, the non-SLSS UE may schedule transmission of the S-SSB such that the gap slot is filled. If the SLSS UE is incapable of transmitting the S-SSB, the non-SLSS UE may determine a method for transmitting the sidelink message during the already-initiated COT or during another COT.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method and a device for user grouping and resource allocation in a NOMA-MEC system. The hybrid deep reinforcement learning algorithm proposed in the present application solves the hybrid problem of deep reinforcement learning that is difficult to deal with both discrete and continuous action spaces by using DDPG to optimize continuous actions and DQN to optimize discrete actions. Specifically, the algorithm determines a bandwidth allocation, an offloading decision, and a sub-channel allocation (user grouping) of the user device based on the user's channel state, in order to maximize the ratio of the computation rate to the consumed power of the system. The algorithm is well adapted to the dynamic characteristics of the environment and effectively improves the energy efficiency and spectrum resource utilization of the system.
