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:
A method performed by a first sidelink (SL) user equipment (UE) includes receiving a downlink control information (DCI) from a number of coupled DCIs. The DCI grants reception of a number of scheduled physical SL shared channels (PSSCHs) over an unlicensed SL carrier, and requests a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for the scheduled PSSCHs. The method also includes receiving at least one of the PSSCHs from a second SL UE. The method further includes transmitting the HARQ response based on the at least one received PSSCH.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine that a first signal is associated with a New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) Light configuration; determine a frequency hopping (FH) pattern and a set of FH channels for a second signal based at least in part on the determination that the first signal is associated with the NR-U Light configuration; and receive the second signal based at least in part on the FH pattern and the set of FH channels. Numerous other aspects are provided.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In one configuration, the apparatus may receive, from a base station, first information associated with one or more resources allocated for at least one PRACH transmission. In one aspect, the one or more resources may be allocated in an unlicensed spectrum. In another aspect, the one or more resources may be allocated based on a multi-tone PRACH bandwidth. The apparatus may also receive second information associated with a frequency hopping configuration from the base station. In one aspect, the frequency hopping configuration may be associated with at least one of the one or more allocated resources or the multi-tone PRACH bandwidth. The apparatus may transmit, to the base station, the at least one PRACH transmission using the one or more allocated resources within the multi-tone PRACH bandwidth and the frequency hopping configuration.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication in the unlicensed spectrum between an eNB and UEs having different bandwidths, e.g., between a narrowband UE and a wideband eNB. A UE apparatus transmits uplink transmissions in a plurality of transmission units and hops frequency bands in a first pattern across frames based on a base station hopping pattern. The apparatus may transmit uplink transmissions based on dual hopping patterns, and may hop in a second pattern across transmission units within the base station's channel occupancy within a frame. A base station apparatus may hop frequency bands in a first pattern across frames based on a base station hopping pattern, and may receive uplink transmissions in a narrowband from a UE in a plurality of transmission units within the frequency bands based on the base station hopping pattern.
Abstract:
Techniques for random access channel signaling on a shared communication medium are disclosed. A broadcast message including information associated with a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) may be transmitted and received on one or more subframes in a portion configured for downlink signaling. The broadcast message may comprise a contention type indicator, a timing advance indicator, or a combination thereof. The contention type indicator may indicate whether contention is in effect for transmission on the PRACH. The timing advance indicator may indicate whether an uplink transmission offset is in effect for transmission on the PRACH. Signaling over the PRACH may be transmitted and received on one or more subframes in a portion configured for uplink signaling.

Techniques for control channel signaling on a shared communication medium are disclosed. An access point or an access terminal may communicate over a communication medium in accordance with a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure defining a set of subframes that each span a plurality of time-domain symbol periods. The access point may transmit and the access terminal may receive control information via a short Physical Uplink Control Channel (sPUCCH) on one or more of the subframes in a portion of the subframe configured for uplink signaling. The sPUCCH may comprise one or more pilot symbols and one or more payload symbols that collectively occupy a subset of less than all of the symbol periods in each of the one or more subframes.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating a power offset, per resource block, between one or more first resource blocks to carry acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement feedback and one or more second resource blocks in a common interlace. The UE may transmit, using the power offset and using a transmission power that depends on whether a downlink pathloss value is indicated in the configuration information, a physical sidelink feedback channel transmission in the one or more first resource blocks and the one or more second resource blocks. Numerous other aspects are described.
