Abstract:
A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for sidelink operation in a 5G NR network, and to cause the UE to perform operations including decoding a first sidelink transmission received from a second UE. The first sidelink transmission includes a first resource reservation for a subsequent sidelink transmission by the second UE. A second sidelink transmission received from a third UE is decoded. The second sidelink transmission includes a second resource reservation for a subsequent sidelink transmission by the third UE. A co-channel collision is detected based on the first resource reservation and the second resource reservation being in a same sidelink slot. A feedback message is encoded for transmission to the second UE and the third UE. The feedback message indicates the co-channel collision.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) or network device such as a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) node, or V2X device operates to configure sidelink signals with another vehicle or node with resources that can be used for ranging and sidelink communications within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network or a New Radio (NR) network. The UE / device generate or process a broadcast communication of the sidelink signal via an adaptive antenna array or a directional antenna array and forming a directional radiation pattern from a beam sweeping operation based on geo-location information determined based on a sidelink signal. Depending on the geo-location information coordinates or the position of other vehicles or nodes can be derived to select or configure resources for a sidelink communication, including a Sidelink Ranging Reference Signal (SR-RS) and associated sidelink communication data.
Abstract:
An apparatus of user equipment (UE) comprises processing circuitry and memory. The processing circuitry decodes radio resource control (RRC) signaling received from an enhanced node B (eNB), wherein the RRC signaling includes an information element (IE) including information of a multi-cast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe pattern of neighboring cells of a serving cell of the eNB. The processing circuitry initiates detection of CRS information of neighboring cells by the UE, the CRS information including one or both of physical cell identifiers (Cell IDs) and a number of CRS antenna ports (APs) of the neighboring cells; and initiates neighboring cell CRS interference mitigation (CRS-IM) using the detected CRS information and the received information of the MBSFN subframe pattern. The memory stores the information of the MBSFN subframe pattern.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for using a machine learning model for uplink beam compression are described. The model determines an excess number of streams for a UE for a target PUSCH decoding error rate. The model is trained in a near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) using a decoding error observed from physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) cyclic redundancy code (CRC) decoding of PUSCH data from the UE, in addition to the beamforming method and number of excess streams. The model is deployed in a non-RT RIC and the parameters of the deployed model is periodically updated by the near-RT RIC. Input parameters to the deployed model for the UE are provided from a distributed unit, and the output beamforming parameters provided from the deployed model to the distributed unit to provide uplink beam compression.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for power saving in sidelink communications are described. When in the power saving state, the UE can use random resource selection to reduce the number of PSCCH blind decoding attempts, as well as partial sensing to limit the number of sidelink resources sensed before transmission in a resource pool. In some cases, rather than use CBR measurements, the UE may transmit on the sidelink resources to meet a predetermined CR limit. The UE may eliminate HARQ feedback on the PSFCH.

In a transmitter, demodulation reference signal (DMRS) generation circuitry is provided for selective insertion of DMRS signals in resource elements of resource blocks of the signal for transmission using a pattern of resource elements spanning at least one of the resource blocks such that a minimum temporal spacing between consecutive symbols of the demodulation reference signal pattern is less than one slot. In a receiver the DMRS signals are used to perform channel estimation. A user equipment having the DMRS generation circuitry is provided. A computer program product is also provided. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may be configured for carrier aggregation using a primary component carrier (CC) and a secondary CC. The UE may attempt to detect a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) from another UE on the primary CC. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is detected: determine, based on the detected SLSS, a common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmissions in accordance with the carrier aggregation. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is not detected: transmit an SLSS to enable determination of the common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC by the other UE. The SLSS may be transmitted on the primary CC.

The one or more baseband processors are to perform channel estimation using the CRS signals from the interference cell. A memory is to store channel estimation information.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for Sidelink communication are described. A symbol index ( m ) is determined from a plurality of symbol indices where each symbol index ( m ) corresponds to a symbol ( l) of a subframe of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Sidelink physical channel. Furthermore, the plurality of symbol indices includes at least three symbol indices ( m ). A plurality of elements of an orthogonal sequence (w (λ) ( m )) are also determined where each element in the orthogonal sequence (w (λ) (m)) corresponds to one of the symbol indices ( m ) in the plurality of symbol indices. A plurality of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) are generated based on the plurality of elements of the orthogonal sequence (w (λ) ( m )). Each DMRS of the plurality of DMRSs is mapped to its corresponding symbol ( l ) of the subframe.
