Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The methods, systems, and devices may include receiving control information from a serving station, synchronizing with an end device based at least in part on the control information received from the serving station, and receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) from the end device in response to the synchronizing, the ACK indicating the end device is synchronized with the relay device. The methods, systems, and devices may also include receiving a data packet from the end device subsequent to the synchronizing, and transmitting, to the serving station, the data packet received from the end device, the transmitting based at least in part on the control information received from the serving station.
Abstract:
IoE devices signal association requests to relay devices during association slots. An IoE device receives a discovery broadcast from a relay device, listing available tones for association. The IoE device sends a first association request to the relay device using a tone selected from the list. The relay device returns a first response. The IoE device randomly selects a tone from a channel and sends a second request to the relay device with it. A second response is sent to the IoE device after contention. The IoE device creates a list of available tones and sends it to the relay device. An overlapping tone is selected. The relay device sends the selected tone to the IoE device for subsequent data communication. If there is no overlap, the relay device may suggest available tones for use in a subsequent association request. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some communications systems, interference may impede signaling between a base station and a target user equipment (UE) such that a base station may identify a donor UE to relay communications to the target UE. The donor UE may receive a coded data packet from the base station, and may identify a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) scrambling code for the packets addressed to the target UE. In cases where the donor UE identifies that the packet has an RNTI scrambling code associated with the target UE, the donor UE may forward the coded data packet to the target UE base on the RNTI scrambling code. Such early detection of data packets addressed to the target UE may allow for the UE to forward a data packet without fully decoding the packet.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit a grant to a first user equipment (UE) that indicates a resource allocation for a sidelink communication, either from the first UE to a second UE or from the second UE to the first UE. The grant may include a destination identifier associated with the sidelink communication, as well as a mapping between the resource allocation and the destination identifier. The destination identifier may be based on information in an indication received from the first UE. In some examples, the base station may configure a default receiver UE for transmissions from the first UE, and the base station may identify a receiver UE in the grant if the intended receiver UE is different than the default receiver UE.
Abstract:
Aspects relate techniques for facilitating resumption of a sidelink transmission after cancellation of the sidelink transmission within resources that overlap with an additional transmission. A transmitting wireless communication device may receive control information from a network entity including a cancellation indication indicating overlapping resources between the resources scheduled for the sidelink transmission and resources scheduled for the additional transmission. Based on the cancellation indication, the transmitting wireless communication device may cancel the sidelink transmission within cancelled resources including at least the overlapping resources and transmit the sidelink transmission via remaining resources of the scheduled resources for the sidelink transmission outside of the cancelled resources.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for wireless energy transfer. A network entity may obtain a report indicative of a capability of a UE to transmit an energy transfer signal on at least one of a downlink band of an FDD configuration or at least one of a downlink symbol or a downlink slot of a TDD configuration, and output at least one of the TDD configuration or the FDD configuration for the energy transfer signal. The TDD configuration may include the at least one of the downlink symbol or the downlink slot and the FDD configuration may include the downlink band. The UE may receive the configuration for downlink resources in at least one of time or frequency and transmit an energy transfer signal on one or more of the downlink resources.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first user equipment (UE) may communicate one or more messages associated with establishing a sidelink communication connection with a set of UEs, including a second UE. The first UE may transmit a message indicating that the first UE has a data transmission to send. The second UE may receive the message and transmit an indication that a first set of resources is allocated to the first UE for the data transmission. In some examples, the second UE may broadcast the indication that the first set of resources is allocated to the first UE. The first UE may transmit the data transmission over the resources based on receiving the indication that the first set of resources is allocated to the first UE. In some examples, the first UE may perform a listen before talk procedure prior to transmitting the data transmission.
Abstract:
Some aspects described herein relate to transmitting, to a receiving user equipment (UE), an indication of a fixed size transport block size (TBS) used for a sidelink transmission, and transmitting, to the receiving UE and based at least in part on the fixed size TBS, the sidelink transmission over sidelink resources. Other aspects relate to the receiving UE receiving the indication and the sidelink transmission. Additional aspects relate to a base station for configuring the sidelink resources for fixed size TBS.
Abstract:
Techniques for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling sidelink transmissions in one or more sets of multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) over a shared spectrum. The UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) for one or more of the TTIs in the one or more sets of multiple TTIs, and the UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of results of the LBT performed for the one or more TTIs. Because the UE may provide the results of the LBT to the base station, the base station may be able to schedule sidelink transmissions from the UE based on the results of the LBT. As such, the UE may experience increased throughput in sidelink communications since the scheduling at the base station may be improved.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for a wireless communication are described. A base station may control multiple parameters for sidelink communication configurations to be used by a user equipment (UE) for sidelink communications. The base station may determine the multiple parameters for sidelink communication configurations and configure multiple UEs for sidelink communication based on the determination. The multiple parameters may include a modulation and coding scheme, a redundancy version, a demodulation reference signal pattern or port, a transmit power control, a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator, a cast type, a HARQ process number, a receiver UE identifier, or any combination thereof. The indication may be included in downlink control information.
