  • Patent number: 11895679
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and another device (e.g., another UE) may transmit messages on a shared channel accessed in a half-duplex manner (e.g., within a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network). The UE and the other device may transmit messages on semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) resources. A message of the UE and a transmission of the other device may collide (e.g., be transmitted in the same subframe). The UE may employ muting and measuring, in which the UE may refrain from transmitting on a SPS resource and may detect the transmission of the other device. Upon detection of other transmissions, the UE may perform resource reselection. During resource selection or resource reselection, the UE may exclude an entire subframe of candidate resources if one of the candidate resources of the subframe is mapped to a resource associated with a transmission from another device.

  • Patent number: 11813941
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a primary power supply (PPS) configured to supply primary power, a PPS sensor configured to measure the power supplied by the PPS and provide a PPS measurement signal indicating an amount of the power supplied by the PPS, a backup power supply (BPS) configured to be provided in an emergency data system and further configured to supply backup power to a modem, and an integrated circuit configured to maintain a clock using the power supplied by the PPS. The integrated circuit is configured to receive the PPS measurement signal from the PPS sensor, determine whether the PPS measurement signal falls below a threshold, and maintain the clock using the power supplied by the BPS in response to a determination that the PPS measurement signal has fallen below the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230060746
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for collision mitigation in sidelink. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes measuring channel busy ratio (CBR), estimating a number of UEs using the channel, estimating a congestion level based on the CBR and the estimated number of UEs. A method that may be performed by a sidelink UE includes determining a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource reservation including first subframes, determining second subframes for generated packet transmission, determining to skip transmission in the second subframes, listening during the second subframes for another sidelink UE’s transmission, and determining whether to reselect resources. Another method includes listening during a first subframe for another sidelink UE’s transmission, detecting the transmission collides with a scheduled transmission resource for the sidelink UE based on an amount of frequency resource overlap, and determining to reselect resources.

  • Patent number: 11470646
    Abstract: A method detecting allocation collisions from transmitting user equipments (UEs) in sidelink channel resources. The colliding allocations are detected and the quantity of allocation collisions is determined. A collision report is transmitted to other sidelink UEs within the coverage zone. The collision report or collision notification provides an indication of sidelink resources having identified colliding allocations. The identified allocation collisions may be pruned to remove potentially intentional collisions before collision report transmission.

  • Publication number: 20220167415
    Abstract: A method includes cellular vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) allocation collision detection and reporting. An allocation collision detection module detects control channel allocations from transmitting user equipments (UEs) in each time period of a group of time periods. A quantity of detected control channel allocations is determined in each time period. A report is then built and transmitted to at least one of the transmitting UEs. The report indicates collisions in each time period, based on the quantity and a location of the detected control channels in each time period, as well as based on a type of UE interface.
