  • Patent number: 11864167
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that a first quantity of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) transmissions to be transmitted in a slot fails to satisfy a condition that is based at least in part on a maximum quantity of PSFCH transmissions the UE can concurrently detect. The UE may identify, among the PSFCH transmissions to be transmitted in the slot, a subset of the PSFCH transmissions to be detected. For example, the subset of the PSFCH transmissions to be detected may include a second quantity of the PSFCH transmissions that satisfies the condition. Accordingly, the UE may monitor, during the slot, a PSFCH for the subset of the PSFCH transmissions. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 11856557
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for on-demand sensing based on sidelink resource reevaluation are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) includes selecting first sidelink resources for one or more transmissions based on partial sensing or resource selection independent of a sensing operation. The example method also includes receiving, over a sidelink channel, a resource reservation from a second UE, the resource reservation indicating reservation of resources overlapping with at least a portion of the first sidelink resources of the first UE. The example method also includes performing a resource reevaluation for one or more slots when the resource reservation indicates the reservation of resources overlapping with the at least a portion of the first sidelink resources of the first UE. The example method also includes selecting second sidelink resources for the one or more transmissions based on the resource reevaluation.

    Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) can determine a slot, from a resource pool including a plurality of slots allocated for sidelink communications, for providing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback to a second UE via a sidelink channel. The determination may be based on a physical slot index or a logical slot index. The first UE may send the HARQ feedback on the sidelink channel in the slot, or refrain from sending the HARQ feedback, based on the determination. The first UE may determine the slot has a first slot index that is at least a preconfigured number of slots after a slot scheduled for sidelink data transmission having a second slot index.

  • Publication number: 20230379967
    Abstract: A first UE may configure, during a COT, an initial transmission and one or more subsequent transmissions that follow the initial transmission. The one or more subsequent transmissions are configured to prevent a release of the COT. Based on the configuration, the first UE may transmit the initial transmission including an indication of the COT and a time period for transmitting the one or more subsequent transmissions. The first UE may subsequently transmit the one or more subsequent transmissions during the indicated time period. A second UE may receive the indication of the COT and the time period where the release of the COT is prevented. The second UE may prepare a packet for transmission during the time period where the release of the COT is prevented and transmit the packet during the COT following the time period where the release of the COT is prevented.

  • Patent number: 11825543
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may establish a unicast connection over a sidelink communications with a second UE. To establish the unicast connection over the sidelink, the first UE may transmit a request message (e.g., a first message) to the second UE, and the second UE may transmit a response message (e.g., a second message) to the first UE accepting the request. The unicast connection over the sidelink may then be established between the first UE and the second UE, and user data may then be transmitted over the sidelink on the established unicast connection. Additionally, the first UE may transmit a connection complete message (e.g., a third message) to the second UE indicating that the unicast connection has been established. The request message, the response message, and the connection complete message may be radio resource control (RRC) messages.

  • Patent number: 11825464
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from another UE, a coordination message that includes resource information (e.g., a preference status) for communication resources. The UE receiving the coordination message may determine a status of one or more resources based on the resource information, an intended recipient of the coordination message (e.g., based on a destination identifier of the coordination message), or a communication connection associated with the one or more resources. The status may indicate that a respective resource of the one or more resources is available, reserved, preferred, or non-preferred, or some combination thereof. In some examples, the one or more resources may be for a sidelink connection or a unicast connection. The receiving UE may utilize the determined status to select one or more resources for a sidelink transmission.

  • Publication number: 20230362846
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a time offset for synchronization signal resources for synchronization signals associated with a first radio access technology (RAT). The UE may determine the synchronization signal resources and a synchronization periodicity based on the indication and a penetration ratio of UEs associated with the first RAT. The UE may selectively transmit the synchronization signals on the synchronization signal resources and according to the synchronization periodicity. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may determine that other synchronization signal resources are allocated for a second RAT and may select resources for communications associated with the first RAT based on determining that the other synchronization signal resources are allocated. The UE may perform communications associated with the first RAT based on selecting the resources.

  • Publication number: 20230345519
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may identify feedback indications and collision indications to transmit to a second UE. A feedback indication may indicate whether sidelink data was received and decoded successfully by the first UE, and a collision indication may indicate an expected conflict between the second UE and a third UE. In one aspect, the first UE may generate a feedback message including both feedback indications and collision indications, and the first UE may prioritize the feedback message based on the feedback indications, the collision indications, or both. In another aspect, the first UE may avoid including collision indications in a same feedback message as feedback indications.
