Abstract:
Devices and systems of sensing, resource selection and control signaling for feedback-less and feedback-based NR-V2X sidelink communication are described. Resource reservation and selection for sidelink retransmissions based on HARQ feedback are described for unicast, groupcast, and broadcast blind retransmissions. After exchanging HARQ feedback capability information for different types of communications, a HARQ-dependent or HARQ-independent resource selection occurs. Look-ahead and/or chain-based resource selection and reservation signaling is used, in which a single resource or some or all of the resources selected are signaled as reserved. Further resource selection of a single additional resource may occur after an initial resource selection. The resource selection for retransmissions may be adapted using a RSRP or distance threshold.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) can receive, from an eNodeB, a serving PLMN system information block (SIB)19 for a carrier frequency of a serving PLMN of the UE. The UE can acquire inter-frequency and inter-PLMN discovery system information acquisition assistance signaling information from the SIB19. The UE can process a non-serving PLMN SIB19 for one or more carrier frequencies of a non-serving PLMN using the inter-frequency and inter-PLMN discovery system information acquisition assistance signaling information. The UE can identify inter-frequency and inter-PLMN discovery announcement rate information and monitoring control configuration information for the one or more carrier frequencies of the non-serving PLMN to enable the UE to perform device-to-device (D2D) discovery with a UE in the non-serving PLMN according to the inter-frequency and inter-PLMN discovery and inter-PLMN discovery announcement rate information and monitoring control configuration information.

Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
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:
There are disclosed methods and apparatus for enabling high data rate relay operation using the D2D air interface including a User Equipment (UE) for transmitting and receiving data via a sidelink interface under control of an Evolved Node B (eNB), the UE comprising: receive circuitry to receive a reference signal on a sidelink interface; control circuitry to determine one or more sidelink quality indicators based on the received reference signal; and transmit circuitry to transmit the determined sidelink quality indicators to the eNB.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for device-to-device (D2D) communication are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the UE may determine a network reference timing based on a reception of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) from an Evolved Node-B (eNB). The UE may transmit a primary device-to-device synchronization signal (PD2DSS) to a second UE according to the determined network reference timing. The PD2DSS may be configured to enable synchronization for a device-to-device (D2D) communication session between the UE and the second UE. In some embodiments, the PD2DSS may be based on multiple PD2DSS symbol sequences, which may be different than PSS symbol sequences used for the PSS. In some embodiments, different Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences may be used for the PD2DSS and for the PSS.
Abstract:
A vehicle may wirelessly communicate with another vehicle via a physical channel (a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel) that is robust and reliable under high mobility propagation conditions. The physical channel may be created by modifying an existing long-term evolution (LTE) physical channel, such as an LTE sidelink (SL) channel. For instance, the V2V physical channel may be created by increasing, by a particular factor, the subcarrier spacing of legacy LTE channels (e.g., from 15 kilohertz (kHz) to 30 kHz). Additionally, a symbol duration and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) size for the V2V physical channel may each be reduced by the same factor. Doing so may enable the V2V physical channel to be implemented without significant modifications to other aspects of the LTE standard.
Abstract:
The position of User Equipment (UE) may be determined based on information communicated through direct UE-to-UE communications to obtain additional measurements of position metrics that can be used to determine relative or absolute positions of the UE. In one implementation, a UE may receive, via a direct connection with a second UE, a positioning reference signal from which timing information, relating to distance between the UE and second UE, is derivable; determine, based on the positioning reference signal, a first position metric that relates to a position of the UE with respect to the second UE; and determine, based at least on position metric, a location of the UE.
Abstract:
Technology is discussed to allow transmission points within a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) to adapt to Up Link (UL) and Down Link (DL) traffic demands independently. To mitigate potential interference arising from transmission points scheduled for conflicting UL and DL transmissions, measurements between transmission points can be made to indicate a level of coupling. Based on the various levels of coupling between transmission points, clusters can be formed. Where a high level of coupling is present, transmission points can be included in a common cluster. Where a low level of coupling is present, they can be isolated. Transmission points within the same cluster are scheduled with a common pattern of UL and DL transmissions to avoid interference. Transmission points in different clusters can have different patterns of UL and DL transmission to independently adapt to the relative demands for UL and DL transmissions experienced within these different clusters.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein may provide for the determination of the position of mobile devices based on information obtained through device-to-device (D2D) discovery or communications. Resource allocation schemes are described that allow efficient communication of signal location parameters, via D2D discovery, communications or newly defined physical channels, that may be used to estimate the position (or improve position estimation) of the mobile device.
