    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to LBT aware autonomous sidelink sensing are provided. A first UE determines, based on a projected listen-before-talk (LBT) completion time, at least one of a sensing window or a first resource selection window. The first UE senses, based on the determining, in a sidelink resource pool within a shared radio frequency band during the sensing window. The first UE identifies, based on the sensing, a subset of resources from the sidelink resource pool that are within the first resource selection window. The first UE selects at least a first resource from the subset of resources. The first UE transmits, to a second UE using the selected first resource, a sidelink transmission.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring a search space for sidelink communications between one or more sensors/actuators (SAs) and programmable logic controller (PLC) in internet of things (IoT) applications in order to minimize the number of subchannels that a receiver (e.g., PLC or SA) may need to blind decode. More particularly, the search space is configurable based on a hashing function that is based in part on a portion of the resources (e.g., PLC resources) that have been allocated or reserved for sidelink communication within the PLC subnetwork (or PLC group) from the sidelink resource pool available to a plurality of PLCs in a network. By limiting the search space to a subset of resources that are specific to the PLC subnetwork or group, the need for the SA or PLC to perform blind decoding of sidelink control information (SCI) may be further reduced.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may obtain channel load information that is associated with identifying a channel load for one or more cells operating in unlicensed spectrum. The user equipment may perform a cell reselection procedure using a particular cell selected from a plurality of cells based at least in part on the channel load for the one or more cells. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Monostatic radar with progressive length transmission may be used with half-duplex systems or with full-duplex systems to reduce self-interference. The system transmits a first signal for a first duration and receives a first reflection of the first signal from a first object during a second duration. The system transmits a second signal for a third duration longer than the first duration and receives a second reflection of the second signal from a second object during a fourth duration. The system calculates a position of the first object and the second object based on the first reflection and the second reflection. The first signal, first duration, and second duration are configured to detect reflections from objects within a first distance of the system. The second signal, third duration, and fourth duration are configured to detect reflections from objects between the first distance and a second distance from the system.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits reference signals for positioning while in Idle or Inactive state. While in a connected state, the UE is pre-configured with Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource configuration including at least one of timing adjustment (TA) and an uplink (UL) transmission spatial filter. The UE transmits positioning SRS while in Idle or Inactive mode based on the pre-configuration. The TA and UL transmission spatial filter may be updated by a serving base station using control signals or a paging message received by the UE while in in Idle or Inactive mode. The validity of the TA and UL transmission spatial filter may be monitored using expiration timers or a relative position change threshold. The reference signals transmitted may be based on a UE may Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), which is insensitive to TA changes. A long sequence PRACH may be used for improved positioning accuracy.
