Abstract:
A device may use sidelink request and sidelink response (e.g., DSS/STS and DRS) resources (in a sub-band) of different sizes depending on whether the sub-band is a primary sub-band or secondary sub-band. The device may transmit more information in the request/response resources of a primary sub-band than in the request/response resources of a secondary sub-band. The device may transmit small amounts of information in its request/response resources in secondary sub-bands. The resources in the secondary sub-bands may include, for example, reference signals, and signals indicating occupation of the sub-band. The device may utilize tone signaling for request/response signaling in the secondary sub-bands (at least because the amount of information being conveyed in the secondary sub-bands is small) and digital signaling in the primary sub-band (at least because the amount of information being conveyed in the primary sub-band is large in comparison to that being conveyed in the secondary sub-bands).
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive, from a base station, an indicator associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, wherein the indicator indicates a number of mini-slots to be bundled for a HARQ transmission of the HARQ process; and decode the HARQ transmission based at least in part on the mini-slots. In some aspects, a base station may transmit an indicator, associated with a HARQ process, to a user equipment, wherein the indicator indicates a number of mini-slots to be bundled for a HARQ transmission of the HARQ process; and transmit the HARQ transmission to the user equipment using the mini-slots. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to techniques for mitigating inter-cell interference for uplink ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided which may be used in a base station and/or user equipment (UE) to help determine whether device-to-device (D2D) communications in a shared radio frequency spectrum may be employed between UEs. For example, a base station may send a request to a UE indicating that the UE monitor a wireless signal transmission from another UE, and subsequently receive a report based on a resulting D2D channel measurement. The base station may determine whether the monitoring UE and the monitored UE are D2D communication candidates based, at least in part on the received report.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium at a transmitting user equipment (UE) in a distributed cellular vehicle-to-everything environment are disclosed to achieve communications between the distributed UEs with high reliability and low latency. A transmitting UE can configure an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) transmission unit by configuring a URLLC channel indicator, a URLLC transmission indicator, a URLLC control channel, and URLLC data portion. The UE can transmit the configured URLLC transmission unit in punctured OFDM symbols within a regular subframe to a receiving UE in the distributed C-V2X environment.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication systems, and more particularly, to link-dependent scheduling request (SR) formats for ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) in communication systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. A method is provided, that may be performed by a base station (BS) for wireless communications. The method includes determining one or more channel conditions for a link between the BS and a user equipment (UE). The BS assigns a SR format to the UE based on the one or more channel conditions. The UE receives the SR format assignment and transmits one or more SR transmissions to the BS according to the assigned SR format.
Abstract:
An apparatus may configure x subframes with a subslot configuration that includes y subslots, y being greater than x. In an aspect, each subslot of the y subslots may include a first portion having one or more symbols for carrying at least one of data or control information, a second portion having a gap, and a third portion for carrying ACK/NACK information associated with the first portion. In an aspect, the second portion may be between the first portion and the third portion. In an aspect, the second portion and the third portion may include at most one symbol. The apparatus may send information indicating the subslot configuration to at least one neighboring base station. The apparatus may communicate content with a user equipment (UE) during at least one of the y subslots.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for modifying the numerology of the D2D frame structure to match the numerology of the Macro cell communication frame structure. Particularly, the present disclosure introduces techniques that allow the D2D devices to partition a long-TTI D2D transmission into a plurality of segments such that each segment may fit into a short-TTI MiCr uplink (UL) subframe. The present disclosure also provides techniques for scheduling D2D transmission and managing transmission power of the D2D communication to minimize the interference with the MiCr communication on the macro cell while maximizing the spectrum utilization.
Abstract:
Traffic in a first cell may experience interference from or may cause interference to traffic in an adjacent cell, which may lead to undesirable performance in one or both of the first cell and the adjacent cell. For example, a user equipment (UE) near an edge of the first cell may experience appreciable interference based on the reuse of resources. Accordingly, for transmissions in adjacent cells over a same band or sub-band, one UE may need to reduce transmit power in order to yield to another UE in an adjacent cells. An apparatus may be configured to determine first traffic associated with a first priority and second traffic associated with a second priority. The apparatus may be further configured to assign, based on the first priority and second priority, a first set of resources to the first traffic and a second set of resources to the second traffic.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may include memory and at least one processor, coupled to the memory, configured to determine a transmission condition associated with communication over a wireless channel. The processor may be configured to select a set of open-loop power control parameters of at least two sets of open-loop power control parameters based on the transmission condition. The processor may be configured to transmit over the wireless channel with a power based on the selected set of open-loop power control parameters. The apparatus may be a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE). The open-loop power control parameters may be received from a base station, such as a node B or an evolved Node B (eNB).
