Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE may communicate in accordance with a sidelink resource allocation Mode 1 according to which the UEs may receive scheduling information from a base station. The first UE may receive first-stage sidelink control information (SCI-1) from the second UE based on a destination filter indicator associated with one or more intended receivers of a message scheduled by the SCI-1. The first UE may decode the SCI-1 and determine, based on the destination filter indicator conveyed by the SCI-1, whether the first UE is an intended receiver of the message scheduled by the SCI-1. If the first UE is an intended receiver, the first UE may decode the message. If the first UE is not an intended receiver, the first UE may refrain from decoding the message.

The UE may then transmit the multiplexed assistance data in the symbol reserved for automatic gain control.

The feedback may include one or more of acknowledgment/negative-acknowledgment feedback, channel state information feedback, a scheduling request, or any combinations thereof. In some cases, the first UE may indicate resources of the second slot to the second UE for transmission of the feedback in the SCI, such as by providing a time offset value and resource index that identifies the resources.

The sidelink receiver UE may use information provided by the BCI in determining whether to alter utilization of signals received on resources of the ineffectual data transmission. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity (e.g., UE, gNB, LMF, etc.) identifies a pool of UEs for a SL-assisted position estimation procedure of a set of target UEs. SL SRS-Ps are communicated (e.g., transmitted and measured) between the pool of UEs (e.g., for relative SL ranging). UL SRS-Ps are communicated by at least some of the UEs in the pool of UEs. The position estimation entity obtains measurement data for both the SL SRS-P and UL-SRS-P communications. The position estimation entity determines a position estimate for each UE in the set of UEs based on the measurement information.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for search space channel sensing in sidelink communication 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/resources) for transmission and reception of sidelink packets (e.g., physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH)) between the PLC from the one or more SAs. Thus, in some instances, the UE may perform congestion control metrics for a one or more search spaces in which the UE may transmit sidelink communications. The congestion control metrics that may be limited to the search space may preserve UE resources that would otherwise need to be expended to perform channel sensing on an entire resource pool prior to initiating sidelink communication.
