Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with multiple transmit receive points (TRPs) in a frame based equipment mode. A wireless node (e.g., the UE and/or one or more of the multiple TRPs) may determine, among the UE and the multiple TRPs, an initiating node that acquired a current channel occupancy time. The wireless node may determine a transmission pattern that includes one or more idle periods based at least in part on a fixed frame period structure associated with the initiating node that acquired the current channel occupancy time. The wireless node may refrain from transmitting during the one or more idle periods, wherein the one or more idle periods include at least an idle period associated with the wireless node. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may determine an energy pattern corresponding to a characteristic of the first wireless device. The energy pattern may include at least two sub-periods of different energy levels. The first wireless device may transmit the energy pattern on a channel (e.g., an unlicensed channel) prior to transmitting a first message on the channel to indicate the upcoming message to other devices. A second wireless device may monitor the channel during energy detection intervals and may detect the energy pattern. The second wireless device may determine the characteristic of the first wireless device based on detecting the energy pattern and may modify timing for transmission of a second message on the channel based on determining the characteristic. The first wireless device may transmit the first message on the channel based on transmitting the energy pattern.

Abstract: A system and method to predict rock strength by directly inverting for petrophysical properties. In one embodiment, seismic data is received or obtained from a seismic survey (step 101). The seismic data are then conditioned (step 103) in order to prepare them for an inversion process (step 105). The inversion process has an embedded rock physics model that allows the inversion to be formulated based upon, and thereby outputting or calculating (step 107), petrophysical properties. Rock strength data may then be calculated from the petrophysical properties (step 109).

Abstract: A hydrocarbon exploration method for determining subsurface properties from geophysical survey data. Rock physics trends are identified and for each trend a rock physics model is determined that relates the subsurface property to geophysical properties (103). The uncertainty in the rock physics trends is also estimated (104). A geophysical forward model is selected (105), and its uncertainty is estimated (106). These quantities are used in an optimization process (107) resulting in an estimate of the subsurface property and its uncertainty.
