Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A transmitting device may identify resource blocks (RBs) used to transmit data in a data transmission. The transmitting device may determine a frequency width of a data channel in a frequency domain that is used to transmit the data based at least in part on the identified RBs. The transmitting device may dynamically determine an allocation of RBs used to transmit control information in a control channel. The allocation of RBs may be based on the frequency width of the data channel and may cause a frequency width of the control channel to match the frequency width of the data channel in the frequency domain. The transmitting device may transmit the control information in the control channel to indicate a location of the data channel.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to a request-response mechanism for sharing sensor information. For example, sensor devices (e.g., in vehicles, fixed structures, or a combination thereof) may selectively share information acquired by the sensor devices. The disclosure relates in some aspects to avoiding redundant transmissions of sensor information. For example, a sensor device of a set of sensor devices may determine which sensor device should transmit information and/or the time(s) at which that sensor device should transmit the information.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE may transmit a message that includes a relay status of the UE. The relay status may indicate whether the UE intends to function as a relay node between a base station and at least one D2D destination. The UE may receive a DCI message based on the relay status of the UE. The DCI message may indicate resources allocated to the UE based on the relay status of the UE. The UE may transmit data on the resources allocated to the UE based on the relay status of the UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. In accordance with the present disclosure, a number of user devices in a network may be divided into a plurality of service groups based in part on priority levels associated with each group. In some examples, a network may distribute a plurality of resource pools to each of the above-assigned groups. Thus, for proximity based service (ProSe) communication, user devices within each group may select resource pools corresponding to the priority levels of the groups associated with the user device. Thus, in accordance with the present disclosure, division of resources based on priority levels of groups and UEs may ensure greater reliability of access to resources for high priority communication.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a wireless communication user equipment (UE). The apparatus transmits information in a device-to-device (D2D) communication to a second UE, the information indicating whether the second UE should use a direct feedback path to the UE or an indirect feedback path to the UE. The apparatus receives feedback through one of the direct feedback path or the indirect feedback path based on the information indicated in the D2D communication. The apparatus receives a D2D communication from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether to transmit feedback in response to the D2D communication via a direct feedback path to the second UE or via an indirect feedback path to the second UE. The apparatus transmits the feedback in response to the D2D communication in the determined feedback path.
Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to transmission of platoon information. A first vehicle in a vehicle platoon obtains a first radio resource spanning a frequency channel and a time period for synchronous transmission with at least a second vehicle in the vehicle platoon. The first vehicle transmits, synchronously with at least the second vehicle, information associated with the vehicle platoon in the frequency channel and the time period of the first radio resource. The first vehicle may obtain the first radio resource by requesting a transmission request from a wireless communication device and receiving a transmission grant indicating the first radio resource. Alternatively, the first vehicle may obtain the first radio resource by selecting the first radio resource based on at least one of a sensing report or a resource reservation received from the second vehicle.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may communicate with one or more other UEs using multiple transmissions in a device-to-device (D2D) communications deployment. A number of UEs may be configured with D2D resources, and a transmitting UE may identify available D2D resources from the configured resources. The transmitting UE may identify a resource for a first transmission of a D2D transmission from the available D2D resources, and may identify a second resource for a second transmission of the D2D transmission. The second transmission may be a blind HARQ transmission that may be transmitted to enhance the likelihood that one or more receiving UEs successfully receive the transmission. In some examples, the second resource may be identified based on other available resources within an predetermined time window around the first transmission.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining a monitoring schedule for device-to-device (D2D) synchronization signals. A synchronization cycle may be determined that includes a plurality of monitoring periods. The monitoring periods may be a time between at least two start times of sequential D2D synchronization signals to detect at least one of the D2D synchronization signals. Sub-monitoring periods may be determined based on the duration of the monitoring periods. The sub-monitoring periods may have a cumulative duration the same as the duration of the monitoring period and be scheduled to occur during different monitoring periods of the synchronization cycle.
Abstract:
A user device may receive one or more parameters from a base station to facilitate device-to-device (D2D) discovery. One of the received parameters is a discovery period parameter, which identifies a discovery period in which discovery resources are available for D2D discovery. Once the user device has received the parameters, the user device may use the parameters to participate in D2D discovery.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein generally relate to managing resource pools in wireless communications to optimize the use of those resources for reducing latency in transmissions. The described aspects include receiving, at a user equipment (UE), an alternative resource pool information signal from a network entity; selecting, at the UE, a first control resource from a first frequency portion of the control resource pool based on the alternative resource pool information signal; transmitting, at the UE, the first control resource from the first frequency portion of the control resource pool; selecting, at the UE, a second control resource from a second frequency portion of the control resource pool based on the first control resource; and transmitting, at the UE, the second control resource from the second frequency portion of the control resource pool.
