    摘要: Wireless communications systems and methods related to performing paging operations in a shared radio frequency band (e.g., in a shared spectrum or an unlicensed spectrum) with an improved paging reliability. A first user equipment (UE) determines a frequency hopping pattern for a paging occasion window (POW) in a plurality of frequency subbands within a shared radio frequency band. The first UE monitors for a paging message from a base station (BS) in the POW, where the monitoring includes hopping from at least a first frequency subband of the plurality of frequency subbands to a second frequency subband of the plurality of frequency subbands based on the frequency hopping pattern.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support half-duplex-aware resource selection in sidelink. A physical (PHY) layer at a user equipment (UE) may report available resources to a medium access control (MAC) layer excluding some resources on which the UE is scheduled to receive or other UEs are scheduled to transmit. Specifically, the PHY layer may exclude resources on which the UE is scheduled to receive from a set of resources available for a sidelink transmission from the UE. Similarly, the PHY layer at the UE may exclude resources on which other UEs are scheduled to transmit from a set of resources available for a sidelink transmission to those UEs. A MAC layer at the UE may indicate to the PHY layer (e.g., directly or indirectly) the resources to be excluded when reporting available resources.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, user equipment (UEs) may communicate over sidelink channels in a shared (e.g., unlicensed) channel bandwidth. A UE may implement sub-channel-based occupancy time sharing for the unlicensed sidelink to improve resource usage. The UE may gain access to the shared channel bandwidth for an occupancy time and may transmit a sharing indicator indicating a portion of resources of the shared channel bandwidth for the occupancy time. The UE may transmit a time-division multiplexing sharing indicator to share a portion of slots of the occupancy time, a frequency-division multiplexing sharing indicator to share a portion of sub-channels of the shared channel bandwidth, or some combination thereof. A UE receiving the sharing indicator may identify the shared resources and may transmit in these shared resources (e.g., without performing a full contention process for an occupancy time).

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support cross-slot scheduling of sidelink transmissions in a wireless communication system. A transmitting user equipment (UE) in communication with a receiving UE over a sidelink transmits cross-slot schedule information to the receiving UE at a time prior to a first slot over which a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission is to be transmitted to the receiving UE. The cross-slot schedule information includes information that is sufficient to decode the PSSCH transmission received by the receiving UE at the first slot, without requiring the receiving UE to decode a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission including a sidelink control information (SCI) message received during the first slot. In aspects, the PSSCH transmission may be decoded in parallel with the PSCCH transmission received in the first slot.
