  • Publication number: 20240259823
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sidelink (SL) transmission enhancement. A first device determines a channel occupancy time (COT) to be shared by the first device and at least one second device for transmissions on a shared radio frequency band; selects a first time slot during the COT for a transmission; and performs the transmission in the first time slot by extending the transmission to a first guard period of the first time slot or to a second guard period of a second time slot prior to the first time slot during the COT. By doing so, a channel access procedure requiring a smaller time gap between transmissions can be selected and performed, which can thus improve the flexibility of channel access procedures for SL transmission in the shared frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20240251410
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a short control signaling transmission for sidelink communication in an unlicensed spectrum. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, if a control signaling is to be transmitted to a second device via a short control signaling transmission, a first device determines whether the short control signaling transmission is available based on at least information related to a counter, the counter being used for counting occasions within a period for the short control signaling transmission at a sidelink interface. If the short control signaling transmission is available, the first device transmits the control signaling to the second device on a first resource configured for the short control signaling transmission. In this way, constraints for the usage of the short control signaling transmission can be satisfied, and a reliable transmission of sidelink control signaling in the unlicensed spectrum can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240196358
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for positioning enhancement mechanism. A first device determines that a third device is to transmit a positioning related message in a non-connected state. The first device transmits assistance information to a second device serving the third device. The assistance information comprises at least one of data size and a transmission periodicity for the positioning related message. By means of the assistance information, the base stations are provided with proactive knowledge of the positioning related message. In this way, the base station is capable of determining appropriate configurations for the SDT procedure. The terminal device may then transmit the positioning related message in the RRC NON-CONNECTED state via the SDT. As such, the efficiency of SDT procedure can be improved, while avoiding segmentation or subsequent transmission of the positioning report.

  • Publication number: 20240195563
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transmit beamforming for positioning. A location management device generates information regarding an angle of departure, the angle of departure being expected for transmission of reference signals for positioning and transmits the information to a device transmitting the reference signals. The device may determine a transmit beamforming solution for transmitting the reference signals based on the angle of departure. In this way, power savings can be achieved due to decreased reference signal overhead. Further, positioning accuracy can be improved through appropriately beamformed reference signal transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20240188137
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device, apparatus and computer readable medium for sidelink transmission. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device determines a target transmission start position from a set of candidate transmission starting positions in a sidelink slot based on an access level of a sidelink transmission to be performed. The first device performs a LBT before the target transmission starting position. If the LBT is successful, the first device performs the sidelink transmission from the target transmission starting position. In this way, it enables the use on Mode 2 in shared/unlicensed spectrum, while addressing the issues of un-sensed (not detected) SPS transmissions due to LBT failure as well as making mode 2 more robust towards LBT failures due to other coexisting systems.

  • Patent number: 12003203
    Abstract: A model predictive decomposition control method and device for an open-winding five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided. The method includes obtaining the voltage component in the stationary coordinate system under the orientation of the rotor magnetic field, synthesizing the virtual voltage vector that can eliminate the voltage vector in harmonic space according to the vector distribution of the five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor under the voltage source inverter. The open winding permanent magnet synchronous motor topology is equivalent to the superposition of the independent actions of two inverters. The voltage vector generated by a single inverter is predicted through the mathematical model of the motor. The expected increment is a judgment condition to determine whether the open winding system uses one of the two inverters to maintain the normal operation of the open winding system, or the first inverter is clamped and the second inverter generates the remaining increment.
