Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with communication of safety messages by a device on behalf of other devices in a group. In an example, a communications device is equipped to receive attribute information from one or more UEs in a group of UEs, generate group attribute information based on the received attribute information, and broadcast the group attribute information on behalf of the group of UEs. In such an aspect, the communications device is a member of the group of UEs, and the leader of the group of UEs. In another example, a communications device is equipped to transmit, by a UE, attribute information to a leader UE of a group of UEs, and prohibit broadcasting at least a portion of the attribute information. In such an aspect, the communications device is a member of the group of UEs.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for reducing and/or eliminating the effect of self-interference are described. Various described methods and apparatus are well suited for use in DSRC WAVE systems in which a wireless communications device may acquire and use two DSRC channels, e.g., use one channel for reception while using another channel for transmission at the same time. A wireless communications device which is receiving a signal of interest on a first channel supports concurrent transmission on second channel, e.g., an adjacent channel. Controlled transmission timing synchronization with respect to the received signal of interest facilitates interference estimation and removal. Interference due to spillover energy from the transmission on the adjacent channel is estimated and removed from a received signal to facilitate recovery of the signal of interest.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a serving base station. The serving base station receives channel feedback from a plurality of UEs. The channel feedback is based on predetermined phase rotations used by the serving base station. The serving base station selects at least one UE of the UEs for a data transmission based on the received channel feedback. The serving base station maps at least one data stream to a set of resource blocks. The serving base station transmits the set of resource blocks to the at least one UE with a phase rotation determined based on the predetermined phase rotations.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication in mmW networks. The apparatus may be a base station. The apparatus may be configured to determine a first symbol index and a second symbol index associated with downlink resources allocated to a UE. The first symbol index may indicate when the downlink resources begin in a subframe, and the second symbol index may indicate when the downlink resources end in the subframe. The apparatus may be configured to transmit an indication of the first symbol index and the second symbol index to the UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Signaling of a radio frequency (RF) band associated with a synchronization signal (SS) block detected by a user equipment (UE) may be transmitted to a base station. For example, a base station may transmit a set of SS blocks to multiple UEs, where the SS blocks are frequency division multiplexed such that each SS block is transmitted in a respective RF band. A UE may receive one or more of the transmitted SS blocks and determine a preferred SS block from the received SS blocks. The UE may in turn transmit an message to the base station that indicates the RF band of the preferred SS block. In some cases, the base station may optionally transmit a request to the UE to transmit the indication of the RF band.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In aspects of the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may report metrics (e.g., received signal power, beam identifier) about synchronization signal (SS) beams using the same (e.g., or a similar) framework that is used for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting. Because SSs are intended to be broadcast across a wide coverage area in a beamformed manner, the SSs represent a promising complement to existing beam management techniques. Accordingly, beam management may be achieved at least in part based on reporting one or more metrics of beamformed SSs through a channel feedback framework.
Abstract:
Embodiments provided herein allow for identification of one or more regions of interest in a radar return signal that would be suitable for selected application of super-resolution processing. One or more super-resolution processing techniques can be applied to the identified regions of interest. The selective application of super-resolution processing techniques can reduce processing requirements and overall system delay. The output data of the super-resolution processing can be provided to a mobile computer system. The output data of the super-resolution processing can also be used to reconfigure the radar radio frequency front end to beam form the radar signal in region of the detected objects. The mobile computer system can use the output data for implementation of deep learning techniques. The deep learning techniques enable the vehicle to identify and classify detected objects for use in automated driving processes. The super-resolution processing techniques can be implemented in analog and/or digital circuitry.
Abstract:
An apparatus may determine whether to indicate a beam failure recovery request to a base station using a contention-free RACH procedure with a dedicated preamble when the UE is timing unsynchronized with the base station. The apparatus may perform, when the apparatus is timing unsynchronized with the base station, the contention-free RACH procedure with the dedicated preamble to indicate the beam failure recovery request when the beam failure recovery request is determined to be indicated to the base station using the contention-free RACH procedure with the dedicated preamble. The apparatus may perform, when the apparatus is timing unsynchronized with the base station, a contention-based RACH procedure to indicate the beam failure recovery request when the beam failure recovery request is undetermined to be sent to the base station using the contention-free RACH procedure with the dedicated preamble.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that an uplink transmission to a base station is to occur in accordance with an uplink timing advance value representing an amount of time that the uplink transmission takes from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station. The UE may perform an autonomous open-loop adjustment to the uplink timing advance value. The UE may transmit the uplink transmission to the base station in accordance with the adjusted uplink timing advance value. The base station may transmit an indication of a set of uplink timing advance values for a UE to use for uplink transmissions, each of the set of uplink timing advance values representing an amount of time that an uplink transmission is expected to take from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for signaling and switching of beam pair links (BPLs) for directional transmission beams between a base station and a user equipment (UE). A threshold value may be determined, which corresponds to an amount of time for a UE to receive and decode control information, and apply a different BPL than a current BPL that that is in use. The UE may maintain a BPL for data, which is used during data transmission time intervals (TTIs) until an indication is received to change the BPL for data. The UE and the base station may determine to change between BPLs based at least in part on the threshold value and a scheduling offset between a control channel transmission that allocates resources for a data TTI and a start of the data TTI.
