Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless node (e.g., which may be a programmable logic controller (PLC), a central node, a sidelink user equipment (UE), or the like) may communicate with a base station via a first wireless communication link and with another UE (e.g., a sensor/actuator (S/A), a child node, another sidelink UE, or the like) via a second wireless communications link. The wireless node may receive, from the base station via the first wireless communication link, a grant of resources associated with the second wireless communication link, where the grant of resources is encoded with a shared radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) that is shared by both the wireless node and the UE. The wireless node may determine, based at least in part on the shared RNTI, that the grant of resources is for the UE, and forward the grant to the UE.

The reduced transmit power may be based on the open loop power control parameter, the maximum transmit power, or the closed loop power control parameter.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support resource selection and indication for sidelink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling. A transmitting UE determines sidelink resources for bundling a sidelink DMRS transmission to be transmitted to a receiving UE. In sidelink mode 1, the sidelink resources may be determined based on indications from a base station, which may include whether the transmitting UE is to maintain phase continuity over the sidelink resources during the bundling, or whether the transmitting UE is to include a phase jump reference signal with the bundled DMRS transmission to the receiving UE. In sidelink mode 2, the transmitting UE may select the sidelink resources based on the phase continuity capabilities of the transmitting UE and/or of the receiving UE, and/or based on a sensing of the sidelink channel. In some cases, the receiving UE may provide a resource recommendation to the transmitting UE.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring a search space for reverse sidelink communications between one or more sensors/actuators (SAs) and programmable logic controller (PLC) in internet of things (IoT) applications. Particularly, the techniques described herein configure a search space (e.g., subset of all available sub-channels) for reception of sidelink packets (e.g., physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH)) that may be received at the PLC from the one or more SAs. In some examples, the PLC may monitor the subset of subchannels and decode the sidelink packets received on the subset of subchannels without the need for the PLC to perform blind decoding of all sidelink sub-channels as is currently required in conventional systems. Thus, the disclosed techniques reduce latency and maximize the resource utilization (e.g., by using less processing power and bandwidth) for sidelink communications.
