Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may receive control signaling indicating multiple sidelink channels of a sidelink resource pool, a mapping between each sidelink channel of the multiple sidelink channels to a corresponding feedback channel of multiple feedback channels, and a time gap between sidelink channel transmission and feedback transmission with respect to a feedback channel sub-slot of multiple feedback channel sub-slots within a slot. Accordingly, the first wireless device may receive a sidelink data message on a first sidelink channel of the multiple sidelink channels and may transmit sidelink feedback information for the sidelink data message in the feedback channel sub-slot of the slot on a first feedback channel of the multiple feedback channels corresponding to the first sidelink channel. The described techniques may enable the first wireless device to transmit the sidelink feedback information with reduced latency and improved reliability.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for narrowband communications using frequency hopping. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may receive a discovery reference signal (DRS) including a skipping signal identifying one or more UEs, may stay on an anchor channel when the skipping signal identifies the UE, and may switch from the anchor channel to a first downlink (DL) hopping channel of a DL frequency hopping pattern when the signal does not identify the UE. In some other implementations, a base station (BS) may be configured to output a DRS including a skipping signal identifying one or more UEs, output a signal indicating a channel occupancy time (COT) obtained on a first DL hopping channel of a DL frequency hopping pattern, and output DL data on the first DL hopping channel of the DL frequency hopping pattern.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support relaxed sensing for new radio (NR) sidelink over millimeter wave (mmW) operating frequencies. In a first aspect, a method by a user equipment (UE) of wireless communication includes identifying a resource selection trigger that indicates selection of one or more sidelink slots from a resource selection window. The UE may obtain long-term interference sensing statistics observed by the UE prior to the resource selection trigger. The UE can reduce a default sensing window length in accordance with the long-term interference sensing statistics and transmit a sidelink transmission in the selected sidelink slots. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration of a set of feedback channel occasions corresponding to a first sidelink data channel in a first listen-before-talk (LBT) sub-band, the set of feedback channel occasions located over multiple LBT sub-bands of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may receive a data transmission over the first sidelink data channel and may determine to transmit feedback associated with the data transmission. The UE, based on the configuration of the set of feedback channel occasions, may perform LBT for each of the set of feedback channel occasions to determine which of the set of feedback channel occasions are available to the UE for transmitting the feedback associated with the data transmission. The UE may transmit feedback over one or more of the set of feedback channel occasions accordingly.

Abstract: An on-demand scheduling request (SR) design is disclosed. Such an on-demand or triggered SR operation provides pre-configuration of user equipments (UEs) with triggered SR resources. Base stations may also configure UEs to monitor for a trigger signal within a bit field of control signaling from the base station. Upon detecting the trigger signal within such bit field, the UEs may use the triggered SR resources for transmitting triggered SR requests. Such use of the triggered SR resources may be in response to UEs detected cancelation of other periodic configured SR resources.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to resource reservation for sidelink communication over a shared radio frequency band are provided. The method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes performing, in a shared radio frequency band, a listen-before-talk (LBT) for a first channel occupancy time (COT) and transmitting, during the first COT, a COT structure indicator, wherein the COT structure indicator reserves at least one resource within a second COT different than the first COT.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a user equipment (UE) performing contention-based access to utilize historical pathloss measurements to identify available resources for beamformed sidelink communications. The historical pathloss measurements may be obtained by the UE, by one or more other UEs, or both, where the UE may combine its own historical pathloss measurements with historical pathloss measurements obtained at the one or more other UEs. Such historical pathloss measurements may allow the UE to determine if one or more beam combinations associated with the resources may cause unacceptable interference (e.g., interference satisfying a threshold) while reducing signaling overhead associated with exchanges of inter-UE coordination messages. Accordingly, the UE may determine to yield transmissions over one or more resources or to yield reception to allow other UEs to utilize the one or more resources.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select, for a sidelink transmission over an unlicensed band and associated with a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), one or more candidate resources of a set of candidate resources that are within an adaptive effective contention window (ECW). The UE may adjust at least one parameter of the adaptive ECW to determine an adjusted at least one parameter based at least in part on a channel access output associated with the one or more candidate resources. The UE may transmit the MAC PDU using the one or more candidate resources or an additional one or more candidate resources, wherein the additional one or more candidate resources are selected based at least in part on the adjusted at least one parameter. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) message indicating a first listen-before-talk (LBT) grant for accessing a sidelink channel, the first DCI being associated with a first search space of the UE. The UE may then receive a second DCI message indicating a second LBT grant for accessing the channel or an uplink channel, the second DCI being associated with a second search space of the UE and including an activation trigger for the first LBT grant of the first DCI. The UE may then perform a first LBT procedure to access the sidelink channel in accordance with the first LBT grant during a first channel occupancy time (COT). The UE may further perform a second LBT procedure to access the uplink channel during the first COT.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a device, a request to transmit a sidelink message to a second UE. The first UE may receive, from the device and in response to the transmitted request, an indication of one or more configured sidelink resources allocated to the first UE. The configured sidelink resources may be allocated to the first UE from a pool of sidelink resources configured for a sensing-based channel access procedure. The UE may transmit the sidelink message to the second UE on at least one of the configured sidelink resources associated with the received indication.
