  • Publication number: 20230309117
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communicating using sidelink resources allocated in an unlicensed spectrum. A method that may be performed by a first UE includes receiving one or more transmissions from a second UE on one or more sidelink sub-channels spanning one or more resource block (RB) sets of an unlicensed spectrum occupied by the second UE for a channel occupancy time (COT) and transmitting, to the second UE, feedback information corresponding to the one or more received transmissions on a feedback channel based on a mapping between the one or more sidelink sub-channels and the feedback channel that confines the feedback channel to at least the one or more RB sets and one or more guard bands between the one or more RB sets of the unlicensed spectrum occupied by the second UE for the COT.

  • Publication number: 20230309143
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first base station may sense a channel based at least in part on a sensing time period. The first base station may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) signal on the channel during the sensing time period. The first base station may determine to refrain from communicating on one or more of a beam associated with the DFS-assisted signal or the channel on which the DFS-assisted signal is received for a defined duration of time, based at least in part on an indication of the one or more of the beam or the channel being added to a non-occupancy list.

  • Publication number: 20230309078
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects include configuring a user equipment (UE) to receive control signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. A first TRP may transmit a control signal to the UE indicating resources for receiving a medium access control element (MAC-CE), where the control signal includes an indication that associates the MAC-CE with the first TRP. The first TRP may transmit the MAC-CE to the UE which may include a beam update indication for the first TRP. The UE may transmit an acknowledgement to the first TRP based on receiving the MAC-CE. The UE may also transmit an acknowledgment to the second TRP indicating that it has received a beam update indication from the first TRP. In some cases, the first TRP may send a MAC-CE signal to the UE including beam update information for the second TRP.

  • Publication number: 20230309099
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support resource block (RB) grid alignment at user equipments (UE) in sidelink communications. In a first example, communicating UEs may support different RB grids and a receiving UE may attempt multiple decoding hypotheses for receiving a sidelink control channel from a transmitting UE, where each hypothesis may correspond to a different RB grid. In a second example, an RB grid for a sidelink control channel may be common, or aligned, for a transmitting UE and a receiving UE, such that the receiving UE may receive the sidelink control channel using the common RB grid. In a third example, demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) and resource element (RE) rate matching for a sidelink control channel may be common, or aligned, for a transmitting UE and a receiving UE, such that the receiving UE may receive the control channel using the aligned DMRSs.

  • Publication number: 20230309085
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which network nodes may configure linked search space (SS) sets that provide multiple instances of control channel communications. A beam configuration, or transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, for a downlink transmission scheduled by instances of the control channel communications may be determined based on a control resource set (CORESET) of one or more of the different SS sets. A first network node may decode a first control channel communication from one or more instances of the control channel communications, the first control channel communication indicating a resource allocation for a first downlink communication. The first network node may determine whether one or more TCI states are applied to the first downlink communication based on one or more CORESETs associated with the first control channel communication, and receive the first downlink communication based on the determined one or more TCI states.

  • Publication number: 20230299886
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a control channel in a primary cell, one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages that include a secondary cell (SCell) dormancy indication and a request for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The DCI messages may have a format associated with downlink scheduling, and fields used to carry the SCell dormancy indication and the request for HARQ feedback may have a configuration that depends on whether the DCI messages are used to schedule a downlink data transmission. Furthermore, in some aspects, a DCI message may include a field that has a value to indicate whether the DCI message does or does not schedule a downlink data transmission, to enable the UE to correctly receive and decode the SCell dormancy indication and the request for HARQ feedback.

  • Publication number: 20230300761
    Abstract: In the context of a slot of a sidelink (SL) communication frame of a user equipment (UE), the slot is configured with a resource element allocation comprising an SL synchronization signal block (S-SSB) occupying a plurality of less than all symbols of the slot, and a plurality of less than all subcarriers of a channel of the slot. The UE determines that an occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) constraint for the slot across the channel will not be met with the resource element allocation. The UE then multiplexes, in response to the determining, a reference signal (RS) across the symbols occupied by the S-SSB in a plurality of resource blocks of the channel not occupied by the S-SSB to meet the OCB constraint. The UE then transmits the slot with the S-SSB and the multiplexed RS.
