    Abstract: The methods, devices, and systems discussed herein involve a mobile wireless communication device (WCD) receiving a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configuration from a network. In some examples, the first DRX cycle configuration is a U E-specific DRX cycle configuration. In other examples, the first DRX cycle configuration is a default DRX cycle configuration. The WCD also receives a second DRX cycle configuration that is different from the first DRX cycle configuration from the network. In some examples, the second DRX cycle configuration is compatible with a sidelink DRX cycle configuration of a D2D-capable device. Upon entering a first area that is near a potential safety scenario, such as an intersection, the WCD receives a signal containing an indicator. In response to receiving the signal, the WCD utilizes the second DRX cycle configuration to detect one or more device-to-device (D2D) transmissions from a D2D-capable device.

    Abstract: A network configures (e.g., allocates) reservation channel resources within a reservation channel resource pool and transmits information regarding the reservation channel resource pool to at least one wireless communication device of a vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET). The reservation channel resource pool comprises at least one time-slot comprising a set of mini-slots. A wireless communication device interested in transmitting a reservation channel transmission selects, from the reservation channel resource pool, time-frequency resources to use for a reservation channel transmission. The wireless communication device also selects a number of mini-slots over which to repeatedly transmit the reservation channel transmission. The wireless communication device then repeatedly transmits the reservation channel transmission over the selected number of mini-slots, using the selected time-frequency resources.

    Abstract: A serving base station allocates communication resources to be used by an aerial vehicle user equipment device (AV-UE) for uplink data transmissions. A neighboring base station is informed, via an air interface, of the communication resources that were allocated to the AV-UE. In some examples, the AV-UE retransmits scheduling assignment information, received from the serving base station, to the neighboring base station. In still other examples, the AV-UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the neighboring base station. The neighboring base station can decode the retransmitted scheduling assignment information and/or the SRS to obtain information regarding the communication resources that have been allocated to the AV-UE for uplink data transmissions. The neighboring base station mitigates interference from the uplink data transmissions sent by the AV-UE.

    Abstract: A set of neighboring base stations coordinate to transmit a cell-specific common resynchronization signal via a Common Synchronization Channel (CSCH). At least one neighboring base station transmits the cell-specific common resynchronization signal by a timing advance value before a serving base station transmits the cell-specific common resynchronization signal. A user equipment (UE) device receives the cell-specific common resynchronization signals from the base stations and combines the received cell-specific common resynchronization signals. In some examples, the UE device coherently combines the received cell-specific common resynchronization signals. Once the received signal strength of the combined received cell-specific common resynchronization signals exceeds a threshold level, the UE device utilizes the combined received cell-specific common resynchronization signals to obtain resynchronization.

    Abstract: A downlink signal is received at an origination device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) device). In response to receiving the downlink signal, the origination device transmits an uplink signal to a signal forwarding device. The uplink signal received, at the signal forwarding device, from the origination device is a “received signal,” which contains a destination identifier. The signal forwarding device transmits a “forwarded signal” to a destination associated with the destination identifier. The “forwarded signal” is based on the contents of the “received signal” and/or any information that may be ascertained from the “received signal.” The received signal may also contain a downlink channel feedback report and/or an acknowledgment response. Based on the forwarded signal, a signal forwarding scheme may be selected.
