Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes identifying, while the UE is in a connected mode with a network, a radio resource configuration of the UE, selecting a dedicated set of resources for the UE or a common set of resources for a plurality of UEs based at least in part on the identified radio resource configuration, and transmitting a pilot signal to the network using the selected set of resources. Methods for wireless communication at a network access device and a network access device controller are also described.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for multiplexing downlink control information (DCI) signals for multiple user equipments (UEs) at an aggregation level (AL) by coding the DCI signals together in a control channel and transmitting the control channel. In an exemplary method, a BS multiplexes a first plurality of downlink control information (DCI) signals for a first plurality of user equipments (UEs) at a first aggregation level (AL) coded together in a first control channel and transmits the control channel.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines K subsets of a resource pool. Each subset includes K grid elements. Additionally, each grid element includes at least K sub-elements. The apparatus selects one subset of the K subsets of the resource pool. Additionally, the apparatus transmits a message using K sub-elements of the selected subset.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may be outside of the coverage area of a base station or other access point, which may impede access by the UE of a core network, server, or the like. Therefore, a UE may establish a relay connection to access resources when the UE is outside of a coverage area provided by a base station or access point. In aspects, an apparatus may be configured to transmit, to a set of relay UEs, a first message associated with establishment of a relay connection. The apparatus may be further configured to receive a set of messages from the set of relay UEs. The apparatus may be further configured to establish the relay connection with a first relay UE of the set of relay UEs based on a message of the set of messages from the first relay UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for transmissions and retransmissions of scheduling assignment (SA) information, and for content of SA transmissions. SAs may be transmitted during an initial communications period, followed by data transmissions for a certain time period. A device may monitor for transmissions during the SA period and then monitor for data transmissions during periods indicated in a received SA. SAs may be retransmitted according to a retransmission pattern that may provide time or frequency diversity patterns in order to enhance reception of SAs at a receiving device. Retransmission patterns may be determined based on a resource from an SA resource pool that is used for an initial transmission of the SA.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus configures a number of channel measurement periods for an n number of user equipments (UEs), determines a number of subsets of the n UEs based on a pattern, and schedules each of the number of subsets of the n UEs for transmission of a signal during a different one of the number of channel measurement periods.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with providing location information with expression information announced in a wireless network. In one example, a UE is equipped with applications that can request announcement of an expression. In an aspect, the expression may be associated with expression information to be announced over the air. In an aspect, the request indicates to provide location information with the expression information during announcement. Further, the UE may be equipped to generate Peer-Discovery (PD) data including the expression information and the location information. In an aspect, the location information may be included along with the expression information in a data section of the announced PD data. Still further, the UE may be equipped to announce the PD data.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes identifying a transmission time interval (TTI)-level control region, where the cascaded control region includes a TTI-level common control region and a TTI-level UE-specific control region, and where the TTI-level common control region has a pointer to a location of the TTI-level UE-specific control region; and demodulating at least one of the TTI-level common control region and the TTI-level UE-specific control region. Some techniques enable control information in a first region to point to a second region that includes additional control information. Some techniques enable two-stages of control. Semi-persistent scheduling/prescheduling control may be configured to cause an entity to refrain from demodulating one of the stages of control.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives one or more D2D broadcasts in a set of subchannels of a channel. In addition, the apparatus broadcasts in at least one subchannel of the channel information indicating a subset of the set of subchannels. The one or more D2D broadcasts may include a first set of broadcasts that includes control information and a second set of broadcasts that includes data traffic. The broadcasted information may be control information. The apparatus may determine a signal strength of each of the one or more D2D broadcasts received in the set of subchannels. The broadcasted information may further include the determined signal strength for each subchannel in the subset of the set of subchannels.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus allocates K blocks of subframes for WAN and peer-to-peer communications in a discovery period T and remaining subframes in the discovery period T for WAN communications and allocates a first set of subframes for peer discovery and a second set of subframes for the WAN communications in each block of the K blocks.
