    Abstract: Embodiments of a Generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The gNB may allocate a resource pool of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and sub-frames for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmissions. The gNB may receive, from a UE, an uplink control message that indicates that the UE requests a V2V sidelink transmission of a prioritized message. The gNB may select, for the V2V sidelink transmission of the prioritized message, one or more PRBs and one or more sub-frames. The gNB may transmit, to the UE and to other UEs, a downlink control message that indicates: the selected PRBs, the selected sub-frames, and that the other UEs are to mute sidelink transmissions in the selected PRBs in the selected sub-frames to enable the V2V sidelink transmission of the prioritized message.

    Abstract: Implementations of this disclosure generally may relate to the field of wireless communications. More specifically, implementations described in this disclosure relate to different 3GPP LTE and LTE-A system enhancements to address the issue and support reliable V2X operation in the high mobility environments. Several solutions to improve the V2X system performance in the high mobility vehicular channel propagation conditions are described. Some aspects relate to the suggestion of a new DMRS patterns within individual subframes that promote more accurate CFO estimation. Moreover, another aspect provides DMRS mapping or puncturing patterns to transmit individual DMRS in a periodic pattern on respective OFDM/SC-FDMA symbols so that they do not occupy all REs of the OFDM/SC-FDMA symbols, respectively.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE), gNodeB or network component can be configured to support Quality of Service (QoS) aware sidelink communications for vehicle to everything (V2X) communication operations. The QoS aware sidelink communications can include operating QoS congestion control, QoS control and adaptation, QoS aware resource allocation, QoS aware in-device coexistence operations, as well as sensing and reservation based on sidelink resource allocations. Transmitter constraints can be provided according to a Quality of Service (QoS) aware congestion control that enables a fair usage of spectrum resources with one or more V2X devices, based on QoS attributes. Different V2X packets can be scheduled/filtered based on combinations of the QoS attributes. A priority of one radio access technology (RAT) over another can be made based on the QoS attributes associated with the different V2X packets being delivered in sidelink transmissions for a QoS aware in-device coexistence operation.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for enhancing unicast and groupcast communication in a wireless communication system also utilizing broadcast communication. An example apparatus for a user equipment (UE) wireless communication device, including baseband circuitry having a radio frequency (RF) interface configured to transmit and receive RF signals, and one or more processors is provided. The one or more processors are configured to generate a signal encoding one or more capabilities of the UE wireless communication device and transmit the signal to one or more other UE wireless communication devices.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may select one or more of the component carriers (CCs) of a carrier aggregation, and may transmit a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) on the one or more selected CCs. The UE may encode the PSBCH to include a plurality of parameters related to the sidelink operation, wherein the plurality of parameters are to be propagated across all of the CCs of the plurality of CCs for the sidelink operation. The UE may transmit one or more physical sidelink shared channels (PSSCHs) in accordance with the carrier aggregation, and further in accordance with the plurality of parameters propagated across the plurality of CCs.
