Abstract:
Autonomous uplink (AUL) for wideband new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) operations is disclosed. For user equipments (UEs) that have been configured for AUL transmissions and have received an activation signal to activate the AUL capabilities, further indications may be used to enable AUL transmissions on AUL transmission opportunities (TxOPs) that overlap the timing of a current TxOP reserved by a serving base station, but that are allocated outside of the resources reserved for the current TxOP. A UE that identifies a desired, next AUL TxOP that overlaps the current base station-initiated TxOP duration, but is allocated for resources outside of the current TxOP resources determines whether it has obtained an enablement indication either directly from the serving base station or implicitly, based on current conditions at the UE. When the UE determines that it has obtained an enabling indication, it may then perform AUL transmissions via the overlapping AUL TxOP.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter device may determine that a communication is to be transmitted on a shared spectrum during a channel access interval not reserved for the communication. The transmitter device may determine, based at least in part on determining that the communication is to be transmitted, that a detection power of a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation satisfies a threshold. The transmitter device may transmit, after a coordinated rate control region and based at least in part on the detection power of the LBT operation satisfying the threshold, a reservation request signal associated with the communication. The transmitter device may transmit the communication before an end of the channel access interval based at least in part on a response to the reservation request signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A medium reservation framework is disclosed for coexistence of coordinated and uncoordinated wireless networks in licensed spectrum and shared spectrum. The proposed medium reservation framework organically takes into account operating regimes with different numbers of Tx/Rx antennas per node, provides flexibility in trading off medium contention aggressiveness and power saving, leverages the inherent synchronization nature of NR, and covers both coordinated and uncoordinated operation scenarios. Various aspects of the medium reservation framework may be centered on one or more combinations of some basic building blocks, such as an operation grid, synchronization signals, and reservation messages, such as a reservation request signal (RRQ) and one or more a reservation response signals (RRS).
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access point of a secondary cluster may identify a first set of access points of a primary cluster scheduled to perform downlink transmissions over a shared radio frequency spectrum band during a transmission opportunity. The access point may identify a second set of access points and may select a first set of blacklisted stations associated with the secondary cluster for the transmission opportunity. In some cases, the selecting is based on the first set of access points and the second set of access points. The access point may then selectively perform at least one downlink transmission to a second set of stations associated with the secondary cluster during the transmission opportunity. In some examples, the second set of stations is based on the first set of blacklisted stations.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing data congestion in Clos networks is disclosed. A congestion detector is provided at an output port of a first layer of the Clos network. A pause timer is provided at an input port of a second layer of the Clos network. The congestion detector generates a feedback message indicating a data congestion level of the output port, and the pause timer determines a pause duration based on the feedback message. For example, the pause duration may be proportional to the congestion level of the output port of the first layer. A pause signal generator may also be provided at the input port to generate a first pause signal based on the pause duration. The pause signal generator may further output the pause signal to a transmitting device to suspend a transmission of data for the pause duration.
Abstract:
A method of error correction using low density parity check (LDPC) codes is disclosed. A communications device receives a codeword and detects one or more bit errors in the received codeword using an LDPC code. The device then generates a corrected codeword based, at least in part, on a set of unsatisfied check nodes of the LDPC code. The device may determine that the one or more bit errors are associated with an absorption set of the LDPC code. The device may also determine a plurality of candidate codewords based on the set of unsatisfied check node and select the corrected codeword from the plurality of candidate codewords. Each of the plurality of candidate codewords may represent a valid codeword associated with the LDPC code.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a base station may transmit, to a secondary user equipment (UE), a first grant to conditionally transmit one or more data messages over a first set of resources upon completion of a detection procedure. The detection procedure may include monitoring a second set of resources for over-the-air (OTA) signals transmitted by a primary UE pursuant to a second grant, where the first set of resources at least partially overlaps the second set of resources. The UE may monitor for the OTA signals from the primary UE, determine that one or more conditions for transmission of the one or more data messages have been satisfied, and transmit the one or more data messages over the first set of resources.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may involve a first user equipment (UE) receiving an indication of a set of sidelink resources and an indication of a set of uplink resources for transmitting sidelink feedback information. The first UE may receive a sidelink shared channel transmission from a second UE and upon receiving the sidelink shared transmission, generate feedback information regarding the sidelink shared channel transmission and transmit the feedback information directly to the base station using the set of uplink resources.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to techniques for enhancing sidelink scheduling information to include a priority assigned to a sidelink transmission. For example, a transmitting wireless communication device may receive sidelink scheduling information scheduling a sidelink transmission from a transmitting wireless communication device to a receiving wireless communication device. The sidelink scheduling information may further include a priority indicator associated with the sidelink transmission. The transmitting wireless communication device may then transmit the sidelink transmission to the receiving wireless communication device based on the scheduling information. The priority indicator may further facilitate hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook construction on the sidelink and uplink for the transmission of acknowledgement information of the sidelink transmission.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first UE may receive, from a second UE, resource reserving sidelink control information that indicates a transmit beam of the second UE and a sidelink resource of the second UE. The first UE may transmit data on the sidelink resource of the second UE using a transmit beam of the first UE that does not spatially overlap with the transmit beam of the second UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.
