Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support an index modulation (IM)-based acknowledgement codebook so use with sidelink feedback. In a first aspect, a first UE receives at least one sidelink transmission from a second UE with a sidelink control information (SCI) message that triggers least one IM-based feedback message codebook. The first UE may determine an IM-based feedback message sequence, determine, based on the feedback sequence, a resource for transmission of the IM-based feedback message, wherein a resource index corresponds to the determined feedback message sequence. The first UE may then transmit the IM-based feedback message codebook on the determined resource to the second UE over the sidelink. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Channel access enhancement for new radio-unlicensed (NR-U) operations are disclosed. In attempting access to a shared communication channel, both base stations and user equipments (UEs) may operate similarly to load-based equipment (LBE) devices by performing extended clear channel access (eCCA) operations independently, such that each of the base stations and UEs may independently acquire the channel occupancy time (COT) of the shared communication spectrum.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain a channel occupancy time (COT) in an unlicensed frequency spectrum band. The COT may include an initial time interval for an initial transmission and a subsequent time interval for a subsequent transmission. In the initial time interval, the UE may transmit control information and data to another UE, where the control information indicates the subsequent time interval. The other UE may selectively perform communications during the subsequent time interval. The UE may perform the subsequent transmission during the subsequent time interval.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to sidelink communications in an unlicensed frequency band are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first listen-before-talk (LBT) time. The UE determines a first sidelink transmission opportunity for communicating in an unlicensed frequency band at the first LBT time based on the first DCI.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a first case, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit to a second UE a sidelink discovery message preamble corresponding to a sidelink discovery message. The first UE may identify resources for transmission of the sidelink discovery messages based on the sidelink discovery message preamble. The first UE may either transmit the sidelink discovery message to the second UE or may receive the sidelink discovery message from the second UE using the identified resources for the transmission of the sidelink discovery message. In some cases, the second UE may transmit sidelink control information (SCI) to the first UE, and may transmit a sidelink discovery message to the first UE based on resources identified in the SCI. In some cases, the first UE may transmit the sidelink discovery message without transmission of a preamble or a SCI.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A hub user equipment (UE) in a star topology may broadcast to a set of peripheral UEs indicating slots when the hub UE will not be in a transmission mode. The hub UE may broadcast a slot format indication to the peripheral UEs to indicate operating modes in a set of slots. In a first group of slots, the hub UE may operate in a forward mode, transmitting sidelink communications to the peripheral UEs. In a second group of slots, the hub UE may operate in a reverse mode, receiving sidelink communications from the peripheral UEs. In slots when the hub UE operates in the reverse mode, if a peripheral UE does not have data or control information, the peripheral UE may enter a sleep mode in one or more slots of the second group to save power.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for performing sidelink communications. For instance, a first client device can determine a first transmit power parameter for transmitting sidelink communications. The first transmit power parameter can either be received from a base station associated with the first client device or it can be a default parameter based on the first client device not being associated with a base station. The first client device can transmit, to a second client device, a first sidelink transmission having a first power level corresponding to the first transmit power parameter. The first client device can receive, from the second client device, a first sidelink reception having a second power level corresponding to a second transmit power parameter.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a configuration indicating a resource pool and a channel occupancy control parameter for configured grant sidelink communications, select one or more resources from the resource pool based at least in part on the channel occupancy control parameter, and transmit a configured grant sidelink communication using the one or more resources from the resource pool. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment may determine parameters for congestion metrics based on a type for a channel access procedure associated with a sidelink transmission. The user equipment may determine a channel access procedure type for a sidelink channel transmission, and determine a limit for a channel occupancy (e.g., a channel occupancy ratio) based on the type. The user equipment may compare the channel occupancy with the limit to determine whether to transmit the sidelink channel transmission, based on whether the channel is available. In some aspects, the user equipment may additionally perform the channel access procedure (e.g., a listen before talk procedure) to determine whether to transmit the sidelink channel transmission. The user equipment may also perform channel measurements to obtain a congestion metric (e.g., a channel busy ratio) based on a threshold before transmitting the sidelink channel transmission.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support mechanisms for sidelink beamforming alignment over a set of resources based on a deterministic sequence in a wireless communication system. In aspects, an sidelink initiator user equipment (UE) may initiate a beamforming alignment procedure with a responder UE over a the sidelink. The initiator UE may define a set of subchannels specified by a deterministic sequence. The set of subchannels may be subchannels over which the initiator UE may perform reception beam sweeping. The deterministic sequence may be anchored to a direct frame number (DFN) of the sidelink frame without initial sensing, and may be determined via a sequence index, as a function of sidelink UE identification ID(s), or a combination thereof. In this manner, the number of bits for indicating the deterministic sequence to the responder UE may be reasonable, manageable, and/or moderate.
