    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, capability signaling indicating one or more phase coherency capabilities of the UE for maintaining phase coherence across multiple uplink messages within a time interval, wherein each phase coherency capability is based on one or more channel usage characteristics associated with the time interval. The UE may receive, from the base station, a downlink message scheduling a set of uplink messages from the UE to the base station within the time interval. The UE may transmit the set of uplink messages within the time interval based on the downlink message and in accordance with at least one of the one or more phase coherency capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11722971
    Abstract: Techniques for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with one or multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE may support sidelink communications, which may be referred to as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications systems, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications systems, and the like. The UE may provide improvements to resource determination for the sidelink communications by determining whether multiple peer UEs can be space-division multiplexed over time and frequency resources. To mitigate interference between the multiple peer UEs, the UE may transmit a power control request message to one or multiple peer UEs to adjust a transmit power level, and a receive a power control response message from the one or multiple peer UEs accepting or rejecting the transmit power level adjustment. As a result, the UE may experience efficient sidelink operations.
