    摘要: Wireless communications systems and methods related to performing contention credit-based listen-before-talk (LBT) for communications over a shared radio frequency band (e.g., in a shared spectrum or in an unlicensed spectrum) are provided. A wireless communication device performs a first clear channel assessment (CCA) including a first countdown. The wireless communication device transmits, after a gap period from the first countdown, a first communication signal. The wireless communication device performs a second CCA including a second countdown. The wireless communication device transmits, beginning before an end of the second countdown, a second communication signal based on at least a first contention credit associated with the gap period.

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sidelink control signaling using unlicensed spectrum. Wireless devices may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure before accessing a channel of the unlicensed spectrum, and may be unable to access the unlicensed spectrum in some circumstances. In some implementations, a wireless device may leverage resources available for transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB) for additionally transmitting control signaling. For example, a wireless device may multiplex (such as frequency domain multiplexing) a control signal with a S-SSB, which may be transmitted in accordance with a relaxed LBT threshold. In some implementations, the control signal may include information such as an indication of LBT failure or an LBT status, or may be used to detect a radio link failure (RLF), or may be used the short control signal to synchronize sidelink clusters, among other examples.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive an inter-UE coordination request message from a second UE, the inter-UE coordination request message identifying a request for resource scheduling information for the first UE, the second UE, or both. The first UE may transmit an inter-UE coordination response message comprising the scheduling information to the second UE, the scheduling information comprising an indication of one or more of a resource block set and interlacing pattern frequency configuration for multi-slot burst communications between the first UE and the second UE or a starting slot and slot burst length configuration for the multi-slot burst communications between the first UE and the second UE.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit control signaling including a candidate uplink grant configuration to a user equipment (UE). The candidate uplink grant configuration may include an indication of multiple candidate uplink grants for an uplink grant, each candidate uplink grant indicating one or more resource block sets configured for a channel access procedure. The UE may select a candidate uplink grant for transmitting the uplink transmission based on an availability of one or more resource block sets of the selected candidate uplink grant. For example, the UE may perform a channel access procedure for the resource block sets indicated by the candidate uplink grants to determine the availability of each candidate uplink grant. The UE may transmit an uplink transmission to the base station using the one or more resource block sets indicated by the selected candidate uplink grant.

    摘要: A method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a control message associated with a plurality of listen before talk (LBT) threshold values including a first LBT threshold value and a second LBT threshold value. The first LBT threshold value is associated with a first frequency spectrum, and the second LBT threshold value is associated with a second frequency spectrum different than the first frequency spectrum. The method further includes performing an LBT operation based on the first LBT threshold value and the second LBT threshold value. The method further includes, based on the LBT operation, performing a transmission by the UE using one or both of the first frequency spectrum or the second frequency spectrum.
