Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for configuring an adaptive frame structure for wireless communications systems using unlicensed radio frequency spectrum. A base station (BS) may determine whether another device is transmitting on a channel in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum or one or more other network conditions pertaining to the channel, determine a frame structure from a plurality of frame structures used for data communications based at least in part on the one or more network conditions, wherein each of the plurality of frame structures has a different frame duration, and communicate with a user equipment (UE) using the determined frame structure. A UE may determine a frame structure from a plurality of frame structures used for data communications, wherein each of the plurality of frame structures has a different frame duration, and communicate with a BS using the determined frame structure.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, is directed to addressing UE proximity detection near non-serving base stations. Certain classes of base stations may activate and deactivate based on the presence of nearby UEs. In their deactivated state these base stations may employ no signaling or limited signaling. Networks employing such base stations may employ a discovery mechanism, as disclosed herein, to allow such base stations to detect or discover nearby UEs. In accordance with the disclosure, a UE may transmit the proximity SRS at a maximum power or another signal strength that can be determined by a listening base station. The listening base station may employ the signal to determine UE proximity and take appropriate steps, such as activating some aspects of its signaling, remaining inactive, or entering an alternative state of limited signaling or further UE detection.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques that may be utilized in networks with relatively dense deployments of small cells and/or various other types of cells, each of which may or may not support a dormancy cell operation.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for transmission restriction and efficient signaling. A base station (BS) may determine information regarding a restricted set of system parameters used for transmission from at least one of the serving BS or one or more potentially interfering BSs and signal the information to a user equipment (UE). According to certain aspects, a UE may receive the signaling of information regarding the restricted set of system parameters used for transmission from at least one of the serving BS or the one or more potentially interfering BSs and use the information to cancel interference by transmissions from the one or more potentially interfering BSs or serving BS.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a scheduling request that indicates full antenna panel availability or partial antenna panel availability. The UE may receive, from the network entity, an uplink grant that schedules an uplink communication in connection with the scheduling request, wherein the uplink grant is based at least in part on the full antenna panel availability or the partial antenna panel availability indicated by the scheduling request. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating control information are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE) may include receiving, from a second sidelink UE, a request to monitor for at least one of a paging signal associated with the second sidelink UE or a wakeup signal (WUS) associated with the second sidelink UE, monitoring for the at least one of the paging signal or the wakeup signal based on the request, receiving, from a base station (BS), the at least one of the paging signal or the wakeup signal, and transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, the at least one of the paging signal or the wakeup signal.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to mobility techniques that allow for mobility of a user equipment (UE) between a set of cells. A method that may be performed by a UE includes receiving signaling configuring the UE with a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling and with a measurement configuration for the set of cells, reporting, to a network entity, measurements for at least some of the set of cells in accordance with the measurement configuration, and receiving, from the network entity, PHY layer or MAC layer mobility signaling to move the UE to one of the cells in the set, wherein the mobility signaling is based, at least in part, on the reported measurements.
Abstract:
To facilitate UE cooperation for DCI reception, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium are provided. An example method includes establishing a communication link with a second UE. The example method further includes reserving at least one of one or more first candidate resources or one or more second candidate resources of a plurality of candidate resources for a PDCCH reception. The example method further includes receiving, from a base station, an indication of the one or more first candidate resources for the PDCCH reception. The example method further includes receiving, from the second UE, at least one of one or more uncompressed bits corresponding to the one or more second candidate resources or one or more decoded bits corresponding to a reservation of the one or more second candidate resources.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently performing and reporting reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements. In particular, the techniques described herein may allow a user equipment (UE) to efficiently identify reference signals on which to perform RSRP measurements (e.g., based on signaling from a base station), identify when to report RSRP measurements (e.g., aperiodically, periodically, or semi-persistently), and identify a channel on which to report RSRP measurements (e.g., a sidelink channel or an uplink channel). In addition, the techniques described herein may also allow a UE to efficiently identify open loop parameters to use to determine an appropriate transmit power for transmitting to another UE over a sidelink.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for downlink control information (DCI). A method that may be performed by a cooperative user equipment (UE) includes receiving configuration information for receiving control information associated with a target UE, receiving, based on the configuration information, the control information associated with the target UE, and forwarding the received control information to the target UE.
