The method includes receiving, from a second UE, a discontinuous transmission configuration for a sidelink connection between the first UE and the second UE, determining, based on the received discontinuous transmission configuration, a set of receive beams for discontinuous reception by the first UE for the sidelink connection, and transmitting, to the second UE, a discontinuous reception configuration that indicates the determined set of receive beams for discontinuous reception for the sidelink connection.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a transmitting sidelink user equipment (UE) determines at least one quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between antenna ports of the transmitting sidelink UE. The QCL relationship corresponds to carrier frequency offset (CFO), average delay, delay spread, Doppler shift, and/or Doppler spread across the antenna ports of the transmitting sidelink UE. Each port maps to a different transmission and reception point (TRP). The method also indicates the QCL relationship(s) to a receiving sidelink UE. A method of wireless communication by a receiving sidelink UE receives a message from TRPs of a transmitting sidelink UE. The message indicates a QCL assumption for the TRPs. The method also individually measures reference signals received from each transmission port of the TRPs. The method may also determine whether signaling from the TRPs satisfies all conditions for the QCL assumption, and report to the transmitting sidelink UE a result of the determining.

Abstract: In some aspects, a method of wireless communication includes performing a full reference signal receive power (RSRP) sweep for a first slot to determine a first resource exclusion RSRP threshold, and performing a resource reevaluation for a second slot based on the first resource exclusion RSRP threshold from the first slot. In some aspects, a method of wireless communication may include performing a full RSRP sweep for a first slot to determine a first resource exclusion RSRP threshold and performing the full RSRP sweep for a second slot that is a number of slots following the first slot to determine a second resource exclusion RSRP threshold. For each slot between the first slot and the second slot, the resource reevaluation may be performed based on the first resource exclusion RSRP threshold determined for the first slot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device (such as a first user equipment (UE)) may communicate control signaling indicating a resource allocation for a sidelink channel. The first UE may receive, from a second UE, a first resource map. The first resource map may indicate a first sidelink transmission scheduled within a first time and frequency resource of the resource allocation, a first priority level of the first resource map, and a parameter threshold used to generate the first resource map. In some cases, the first UE may communicate a second sidelink transmission within the resource allocation for the sidelink channel based on the first resource map.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communications including sidelink communications between wireless devices. Adaptation of a resource exclusion reference signal receive power (RSRP) threshold for scheduling resources for a device using such sidelink communications includes utilization of first and second time/frequency windows of available resources to determine the number of free resources in each window. If the free resources in either window are less than a predetermined free resource threshold, the resource exclusion RSRP threshold is increased to gain further potential time/frequency resources that may be scheduled by the device.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring sidelink communications between user equipment's (UEs). Per one technique, during a discovery opportunity, a first UE and a second UE may identify a subset of beam pairs suitable for communication, and schedule a discontinuous transmission (DTX) occasion during the discovery opportunity. During the DTX occasion, the first UE and second UE may perform a beam refinement procedure to determine a beam pair (BP) over which to communicate, from the identified subset of beam pairs. The beam refinement procedure may include beam narrowing of at least one of the identified subset of beam pairs.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with one or multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE may support sidelink communications, which may be referred to as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications systems, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications systems, and the like. The UE may provide improvements to resource determination for the sidelink communications by determining whether multiple peer UEs can be space-division multiplexed over time and frequency resources. To mitigate interference between the multiple peer UEs, the UE may transmit a power control request message to one or multiple peer UEs to adjust a transmit power level, and a receive a power control response message from the one or multiple peer UEs accepting or rejecting the transmit power level adjustment. As a result, the UE may experience efficient sidelink operations.

Abstract: An apparatus receives, in a transmission from a second UE, an indication of reserved resources for the second UE. The apparatus measures a received power of the transmission from the second UE. The apparatus excludes the reserved resources indicated by the second UE from a set of candidate resources based on the received power of the transmission from the second UE meeting a threshold, where the threshold is based at least in part on whether the reserved resources are associated with a retransmission.
