Publication number: 20240129981Abstract: Triangular inter-user equipment coordination for new radio sidelink communications is provided. An exemplary apparatus may include at least one processor, and at least one memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the apparatus at least to receive, from a first device, a request of inter-user equipment coordination. The apparatus may also be caused to determine at least one second device to which to forward the request. The apparatus may also be caused to modify the request and forward the modified request to the at least one second device for the second device to provide a response to the request to the first device. The request may be modified by an indication related to the forwarding to the at least one second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Berthold PANZNER, Prajwal KESHAVAMURTHY, Stepan KUCERA, Taylan SAHIN

Patent number: 11843995Abstract: Various example embodiments are described in which a network node transmits to a user device preconfiguration information for a plurality of on-demand positioning signal (ODPS) preconfigurations. An ODPS preconfiguration may be selected and communicated. The transmitted ODPS preconfiguration may be a request for transmission, or a notice of transmission, of the selected ODPS. An ODPS, which is associated with or based on the selected ODPS preconfiguration, may be transmitted. The ODPS may include any positioning signal (e.g., any signal that may be used for positioning) that may be transmitted upon request or as needed, and, e.g., may include downlink on-demand positioning reference signals (ODPRS), uplink on-demand sounding reference signals (ODSRS), or other positioning or reference signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Osman Nuri Can Yilmaz, Diomidis Michalopoulos, Taylan Sahin

Publication number: 20230254822Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user equipment that includes a communication interface configured to perform communication with one or more nearby UEs using one or more of a plurality of resources in a cellular communication network, and processing circuitry configured to operate the UE in a first mode and in a second mode. The first mode is a scheduled resource allocation mode, and the second mode is an autonomous resource selection mode or an idle mode. The processing circuitry is configured to switch from the first mode to the second mode based on a first condition relating to an out of coverage event of the UE being met and a second condition related to a further parameter being met.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Taylan Sahin, Mate Boban
