Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may determine, when in communication with a plurality of other wireless nodes via a plurality of links of a network, a plurality of transmit powers for the plurality of links, wherein the plurality of transmit powers are selected to control inter-link interference or to satisfy a maximum transmit power criterion. The wireless node may transmit, using the plurality of transmit powers for the plurality of links, information, to the plurality of other wireless nodes, concurrently, based at least in part on determining the plurality of transmit powers for the plurality of links. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A central access node (CAN) may manage and schedule resources for a wireless mesh network. The CAN may transmit a first message to a relay access node (AN) to expedite transmission of a priority communication in the wireless mesh network. The first message may provide configuration information for modifying a preconfigured schedule to expedite the transmission of the priority communication. For example, the first message may provide configuration information to modify a preconfigured schedule to allow a first network node to transmit the priority communication to a second network node during a reserved time period. The relay AN may generate a second message regarding the modified schedule and transmit the second message to the second network node.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for transmitting different sets of control messages through a relay to a central unit (CU) and a core network of a wireless communications system. The different sets of control messages may include a first set of control messages for an access radio link between the relay and the CU and a second set of control messages for a fronthaul radio link between the relay and the CU. Techniques may include multiplexing of messages on a radio bearer (RB), establishment of separate RBs for different control messages, and encapsulation of one type of control message for transmission with the other type of control message.
Abstract:
In a wireless communications system that supports directional communications (e.g., a millimeter wave (mmW) system), a base station and a user equipment (UE) may utilize directional transmissions during a paging procedure. In some cases, a base station may use beam sweeping to transmit a control channel, which may contain a paging group information. For example, the base station may configure the UE or a group of UEs to monitor for the paging group information over a set of time-frequency resources. A UE that receives the paging group information may determine transmission resources to monitor for a subsequent data channel transmission based at least in part on the identified paging group information. The base station may then transmit the paging information over the indicated transmission resources.
Abstract:
The use of a radio access technology (RAT) may enable wireless communication using one or more node functions at a wireless node, such as a base station or access node. Additionally, multiple wireless nodes may communicate in a network using a schedule that is aligned with a frame structure. For example, a wireless node may establish a link with different wireless nodes using a RAT that supports a synchronized frame structure, such as a millimeter wave (mmW) RAT. The wireless nodes may instantiate one or more node functions, such as an access node function (ANF) and a user equipment function (UEF). The wireless nodes may then communicate according to active and suspended modes using the node functions, where the communication is based on a schedule aligned with the frame structure.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for sustaining a link with a wireless network are provided. The apparatus communicates data with the wireless network via a first link with a first base station, acquires a resource to perform a beam training sequence with a second base station, wherein the acquired resource allows the beam training sequence with the second base station to be performed while the data is communicated via the first link, performs the beam training sequence and exchanging signaling information with the second base station using the resource to establish a second link to the second base station, evaluates a link strength of the second link based on the beam training sequence, and determines whether to switch the data communication from the first link to the second link based on the evaluation.
Abstract:
Opportunistic wide area network (WAN) connectivity for sensor devices with low transmit power, triggered by base station broadcasts, is disclosed that increases the likelihood of the data messages of the sensor devices reaching the base station. Multiple sensor devices within proximity to each other establish device to device links. When a sensor device successfully connects to the base station, the base station broadcasts an identification of the sensor device as a gateway. This can trigger a multi-hop forwarding scheme where sensor devices that receive the broadcast forward their data messages via the D2D links to other peers until their data messages reach the gateway sensor device. The gateway sensor device forwards data messages it receives to the base station, so that the base station receives data packets from multiple sensor devices via the gateway sensor device.
Abstract:
In certain aspects, the disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications with a network node. The UE may include a memory comprising instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to a network node, an indication of an expected communication. In some examples, the UE may receive, from the network node, updated scheduling in response to the indication of the expected communication. For example, the UE may predict a future sidelink/uplink communication based on whether the UE expects data for a future uplink transmission. If the UE expects that it will have data for a future uplink transmission, the UE may notify the network node so that the network node can enter into a low power state until the future transmission, then provide the UE with a sidelink/uplink grant for the future uplink transmission.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless node may transmit, to a second wireless node, a cross-link interference (CLI) management configuration message including a permutation indicator, wherein the permutation indicator indicates that an order of slot formats is an uplink-flexible-downlink order of slot formats or indicates that the order of slot formats is a downlink-flexible-uplink order of slot formats; and communicate with one or more third wireless nodes in accordance with the order of slot formats indicated to the second wireless node. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A first base station may establish a first connection with an IAB node and transmit, to a second base station, a request for the second base station to establish a second connection with the IAB node. The first base station may indicate to the second base station, based on the second connection being established with the IAB node, that at least one of a first base station or the second base station is to serve as an IAB donor for the IAB node. The second base station may accept or reject the indication received from the first base station that the at least one of the first base station or the second base station is to serve as the IAB donor for the IAB node.
