Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is configured to transmit a first SA information in a first subframe. The apparatus is further configured to transmit a first data in the first subframe. The apparatus is configured to transmit a second SA information in a second subframe. The apparatus is also configured to transmit a second data in the second subframe. The first SA information includes information on the first data and the second data. The second SA information includes information on the second data.
Abstract:
Improvement in co-existence of the LTE device-to-device communication with another device-to-device communication method is desired. The apparatus selects a countdown number within a size of a contention window including a plurality of slots before a target subframe. The apparatus determines whether each slot of the plurality of slots is idle or utilized while waiting for the target subframe. The apparatus counts down the countdown number during each of the determined idle slots. The apparatus determines whether the countdown number has reached a threshold number before the target subframe. The apparatus performs, when the countdown number is determined to have reached the threshold number, one of: deferring from transmitting until the target subframe, or transmitting a CUBS until a next subframe or the target subframe.
Abstract:
A method for developing and reporting enhanced user equipment (UE) location information includes obtaining a global positioning system (GPS) location for a user equipment (UE), determining a location of at least one radio frequency (RF) antenna relative to the GPS location, developing a reference frame based at least in part on the location of the at least one RF antenna, determining a location of a structural element of the UE, and transmitting the GPS location, the location of the at least one RF antenna, and the location of the structural element of the UE.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are described for forwarding, managing, and/or detecting timing information for device-to-device discovery. Timing information may be received from a base station. A timing signal including the timing information may be transmitted. The timing signal may be transmitted during a sub-frame reserved for device-to-device discovery. Timing information for a base station may be transmitted to a user equipment (UE). Instructions to transmit a timing signal including the timing information during a sub-frame reserved for device-to-device discovery are also transmitted to the UE. Information indicating a timing of sub-frames reserved for device-to-device discovery by a neighboring base station may be received from a serving base station. A timing signal may be detected during at least one of the sub-frames reserved for device-to-device discovery. The timing signal may include timing information for the neighboring base station.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus allocates K blocks of subframes for WAN and peer-to-peer communications in a discovery period T and remaining subframes in the discovery period T for WAN communications and allocates a first set of subframes for peer discovery and a second set of subframes for the WAN communications in each block of the K blocks.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives discovery resource information from a base station, sends a discovery signal based on the discovery resource information, and receives from at least one user equipment (UE) a request for relaying with the base station based on the discovery signal. The apparatus may also receive a discovery signal from a relay, and send to the relay a request for relaying with a base station based on the discovery signal. The apparatus may further receive a discovery signal from each of a plurality of relays, determine to select one of the plurality of relays based on the discovery signal from each relay, and send to a selected relay a request for relaying with a base station based on the discovery signal when one of the plurality of relays is determined to be selected.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for ranging are described. A multi-phase distributed ranging technique includes transmitting and receiving vehicle information messages during a first time interval, where the vehicle information messages include at least a vehicle identifier and resource information. The multi-phase technique further includes transmitting and receiving ranging signals during a second time interval, and determining times of arrival of received ranging signals. A centralized ranging technique includes receiving resource assignments from an access point, transmitting ranging signals according to the resource assignments, and determining times of arrival of received ranging signals.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to the selection and use of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) values. For example, a first MCS table may be used for a first condition and a second MCS table used for a second condition. The disclosure relates in some aspects to inter-device signaling that indicates which MCS table is to be used for communication between the devices.
Abstract:
Described are methods for interference detection and management in a millimeter wave communications system. A V2X communications system may support interference management procedures that comprise scheduling a system wide training interval in a transmission timeslot, suspending traffic transmissions on a link in the communications system during the training interval to perform training on the link, and resuming traffic transmissions on the link if interference is not detected during the training interval. Interference management procedures may also include receiving at a node, unique parameters transmitted from another node in a communication system during a discovery stage, determining whether interference will occur at the node based on the received unique parameters, and suspending transmissions to and from the node if it is determined interference will occur at the node.
