    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, devices of a wireless communications system may be configured to support various techniques for sidelink communications using an unlicensed spectrum, where such sidelink communications are coordinated at least in part by a network device, such as a base station or entity thereof. In some examples, a base station may determine to offload some sidelink communications to the unlicensed spectrum, which may be based on capability information, system channel loading, application priority, periodicity, or quality of service, among other criteria or combinations thereof. Based on such a determination to offload sidelink communications to the unlicensed spectrum, the base station may transmit an indication for one or more user equipments (UEs) to attempt to perform sidelink communications using the unlicensed spectrum (e.g., based on an evaluation of an availability of the unlicensed spectrum by a UE initiating sidelink transmissions).

    Abstract: The position of a target user equipment (UE) is determined using a set of Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) measurements that includes at least three RSTD measurements generated at different times by the target UE. Each RSTD measurement is produced based on positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by a stationary anchor entity and corresponding PRS transmitted by a moving mobile anchor entity. At least two anchor-to-anchor receive-transmit (RxTx) time difference measurements are generated by an anchor entity, wherein each anchor-to-anchor RxTx time difference measurement is associated with the RSTD measurements, and there are fewer anchor-to-anchor RxTx time difference measurements than RSTD measurements. The position estimate of the target UE is determined based on the set of RSTD measurements and the at least two anchor-to-anchor RxTx time difference measurements.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. User equipment (UE) may communicate sidelink coordination messages to indicate potential interference and select sidelink resources. For example, a first UE may transmit a sidelink coordination message to a second UE that includes a set of identifiers associated with a set of UEs. The second UE may select a first set of sidelink resources for a first sidelink communication with the first UE based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the sidelink coordination message and a reservation of a second set of sidelink resources for a second sidelink communication between the first UE and third UE of the set of UEs. For example, the second UE may determine the reservation, select the first set to be non-overlapping a time domain with the second set based on the RSRP, and perform the second sidelink communication with the first UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) of a group of UEs may receive a groupcast retransmission from one or more UEs of the group. For example, a base station may transmit a groupcast transmission to the group of UEs. A first UE of the group of UEs may fail to receive the groupcast transmission and, in response, may transmit a feedback message via a sidelink feedback resource to a second UE of the group of UEs. The feedback message may include a negative acknowledgement (NACK) that indicates the failed reception of the groupcast transmission by the first UE, and the sidelink feedback resource may be indicated by the base station. The second UE may transmit a retransmission of the groupcast transmission to the first UE via a sidelink resource based on receiving the feedback message.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may identify a set of time and frequency resources reserved by one or more second UEs for one of sidelink transmissions by the one or more second UEs to the first UE or to one or more third UEs (e.g., type A), or sidelink transmissions by the first UE to one or more third UEs (e.g., type B), and may select a first indicator and a second indicator for the reservation. The first indicator of a time resource and the second indicator of a frequency resource may be associated with the identified set of time and frequency resources for the reservation. The UE may transmit a coordination message that includes the first indicator and the second indicator, and includes an indication that the message is associated with type A or type B reservations.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive one or more signals associated with a sidelink channel to perform sensing of the sidelink channel. The UE may transmit a control signal associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) to reserve a set of resources associated with a resource pool for the sidelink channel based at least in part on the sensing of the sidelink channel, wherein at least one of the set of resources or the resource pool is associated with a second RAT. The UE may transmit, using one or more resources from the set of resources, a first sidelink message, wherein the first sidelink message is associated with the second RAT. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: A first UE and at least one second UE are disclosed. The first UE may identify one or more resources that are suitable for a subsequent transmission from at least one second UE. The first UE may transmit to the at least one second UE, an inter-UE coordination message and at least one data transmission. The inter-UE coordination message may be transmitted at a same time as the at least one data transmission. The inter-UE coordination message may include an indication of the one or more resources that are suitable for the subsequent transmission from the at least one second UE. In one configuration, the inter-UE coordination message may be piggybacked with the at least one data transmission. The at least one second UE may transmit the subsequent transmission via the one or more resources, or may reselect the one or more resources based on the inter-UE coordination message.
