Publication number: 20260143403Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may identify an aggregation capability to communicate in parallel over a plurality of wireless links. The wireless device may in some cases broadcast this aggregation capability (e.g., periodically). Additionally or alternatively, the wireless device may transmit the aggregation capability in response to a request received from another wireless device. In some cases, the first wireless device may transmit a request to a second wireless device inquiring about aggregation capabilities of the second wireless device. The second wireless device may respond with its aggregation capabilities (e.g., or may broadcast its aggregation capabilities independently of receiving the response). The wireless devices may establish a multi-link session based at least in part on the indicated aggregation capabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2025Publication date: May 21, 2026Inventors: Yan ZHOU, Abhishek Pramod PATIL, Alfred ASTERJADHI, Venkata Ramanan VENKATACHALAM JAYARAMAN, George CHERIAN, Simone MERLIN

Publication number: 20250193755Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Some aspects relate to changing a sensing service management function (SnMF) in association with a handover of a UE configured as a sensing unit (SU) for an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) service. In some aspects, as the SU is handed over to a target cell, a mobility service may request a new configuration associated with the target cell and may facilitate associating the SU with a target SnMF. In some aspects, a common sensing repository may facilitate identifying a target SnMF and associating the SU therewith. In some aspects, an SnMF may track changes in a sensing target and/or area to be sensed and may facilitate changing SnMFs and/or SUs to accommodate the changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Punyaslok PURKAYASTHA, Simone MERLIN, Gavin Bernard HORN, Hong CHENG, Miguel GRIOT, Olufunmilola Omolade AWONIYI-OTERI

Publication number: 20250193719Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Some aspects more specifically relate to adaptive reconfiguration a sensing unit (SU) associated with a sensing service. Some aspects more specifically relate to adaptively configuring or reconfiguring sensing configurations for an SU based on, responsive to, or otherwise associated with detecting an event. In some aspects, the event may be based on, responsive to, or otherwise associated with wireless communication channel characteristics (for example, radio frequency (RF) signal propagation conditions) or a position of an SU, among other examples. For example, an SU, a network node, or a network function entity may detect an event that satisfies one or more criteria. For example, the SU may switch a sensing state based on, responsive to, or otherwise associated with the detection of an event.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Simone MERLIN, Olufunmilola Omolade AWONIYI-OTERI, Gavin Bernard HORN, Punyaslok PURKAYASTHA, Hong CHENG, Miguel GRIOT

Publication number: 20250164630Abstract: Monostatic radar with progressive length transmission may be used with half-duplex systems or with full-duplex systems to reduce self-interference. The system transmits a first signal for a first duration and receives a first reflection of the first signal from a first object during a second duration. The system transmits a second signal for a third duration longer than the first duration and receives a second reflection of the second signal from a second object during a fourth duration. The system calculates a position of the first object and the second object based on the first reflection and the second reflection. The first signal, first duration, and second duration are configured to detect reflections from objects within a first distance of the system.
