Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a first user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a capability enquiry message for a sidelink positioning procedure, the capability enquiry message including at least a request for an indication of whether the first UE has the capability to provide a location of the first UE for the sidelink positioning procedure, and transmits, to the network node, a capability information message indicating one or more capabilities of the first UE to participate in the sidelink positioning procedure, the one or more capabilities of the first UE including at least the indication of whether the first UE has the capability to provide the location of the first UE for the sidelink positioning procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may support carrier aggregation for a sidelink control connection, such as a PC5 or radio resource control (RRC) connection with another UE. The sidelink control connection may support at least two sidelink control carriers, such as an anchor sidelink carrier, a secondary or selected sidelink carrier, a secondary anchor sidelink carrier that may be configured for fallback or duplication, among others. The sidelink control connection may be monitored for radio link failure and a secondary sidelink carrier may be used. Other sidelink carriers may be configured for the sidelink control connection as channel conditions change.

Abstract: Aspects relate to sidelink transmissions directed towards vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications. A UE may determine an application-layer capability of the UE in which the application-layer capability corresponds to a V2X application implemented on the UE, and transmit an announcement including an indication of the application-layer capability via a transceiver. A UE may also receive an announcement via a transceiver that includes an indication of an application-layer capability corresponding to a second UE in which the application-layer capability corresponds to a V2X application implemented on the second UE, and engage with the second UE via the V2X application.

Abstract: A sidelink-based positioning session is initiated by a user equipment (UE) with an indication that the positioning session will be a unicast session using a single protocol design that supports both Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio deployments. An initiator UE may provide an explicit indication to a target UE that the sidelink positioning session will be unicast using a unicast flag in an initial sidelink positioning initiation message or in a direct link establishment request message. The initiator UE may provide an implicit indication to a target UE that the sidelink positioning session will be unicast by initiating an Authentication & Security procedure, e.g., by sending a direct link authentication request, after sending the initial sidelink positioning initiation message.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive paging in sidelink relay scenarios. An example method for adaptive paging by a remote UE generally includes connecting, via a sidelink, to a relay node connected to a network entity, sending an indication of a preferred paging mode to at least one of the relay node or the network entity, and monitoring for paging in accordance with the preferred paging mode, if the UE receives signaling configuring the UE for the preferred paging mode.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for switching between a first path and a second path when certain selection criteria are met. The first path may be a Uu connection whereby the remote UE is connected directly to a network entity. The second path may be a connection whereby the remote UE is connected to the network entity (i.e., indirectly) via a relay UE (e.g., by a PC5 connection).

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide for leader selection of a group of vehicles, based on inter-vehicle communications. According to embodiments, a host vehicle can determine it qualifies to be the leader of a potential group by comparing vehicle information of other cars in the potential group with its own vehicle information. Once the determination has been made, the host can then a request to be the group leader to the other vehicles. If the other vehicles accept, the host vehicle can initiate group formation. Otherwise, another vehicle can reject the request and send its own request to become the group leader, reinitiating group leader negotiation until a group leader is determined.

Abstract: In an aspect, a first UE communicates (e.g., transmits and/or receives) traffic of a first type with a second UE via a unicast link. The first UE sets up support for transport of traffic of a second type over the unicast link. The first UE tunnels (e.g., transmits and/or receives) the traffic of the second type between the first UE and the second UE over the unicast link. In another aspect, instead of tunneling the traffic of the second type over the same unicast link, the first UE sets up a second unicast link for traffic of the second type with the second UE, with the unicast links having a shared link management status. In another aspect, a BS allocates a set of resources to support the associated (e.g., bound) unicast link.

Abstract: A wireless device can use a channel occupancy time (COT) to reserve a spectrum for sidelink positioning operations in a certain time interval. In some examples, multiple wireless devices can share the same COT for performing sidelink positioning and/or ranging operations using unlicensed or shared spectrum. Some aspects of the disclosure provide various processes for handling scenarios when channel access of the unlicensed spectrum is unsuccessful.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, an application enabler layer (e.g., a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) application enabler (VAE) layer), may identify a congestion control configuration that includes capabilities for collecting operation information. The application enabler layer may receive, from a set of user equipment (UEs), the operation information in accordance with the capabilities. Then, the application enabler layer may generate congestion control instructions for one or more UEs of the set of UEs based on the received operation information. Additionally or alternatively, an application enabler architecture layer (e.g., a service enabler architecture layer for verticals (SEAL)) may identify a congestion control configuration including capabilities for collecting operation information and monitor sidelink performance for the set of UEs in accordance with the capabilities. The application enabler architecture layer may identify a congestion status for a communication type based on monitoring the sidelink performance.
