Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer program products for transmitting and receiving discovery and paging messages are described herein. In one aspect, an apparatus operable in a wireless communication system includes a receiver and transmitter. The receiver receives a registration packet from a first device. The registration packet indicates interest in a service provided by another device in a wireless communications network. The receiver further receives a discovery packet from a second device during a first discovery interval of a plurality of discovery intervals. The discovery packet advertises a service provided by the second device, and the plurality of discovery intervals include recurring time intervals when a plurality of devices are configured to transmit and receive discovery packets in the wireless communications network. The transmitter transmits a notification packet configured to enable the first device and the second device to communicate directly.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for using automatic gain control symbols to indicate a sidelink mini-slot. A method performed by a transmitting user equipment includes transmitting, during a first time portion of a symbol within a slot, a first beam associated with a first receiving user equipment. The first time portion of the symbol is configured to indicate that the first receiving user equipment will receive another transmission from the transmitting user equipment during a first mini-slot within the slot associated with the first time portion. The method may further include transmitting, during a second time portion of the symbol within the slot, a second beam associated with a second receiving user equipment. The second time portion of the symbol is configured to indicate that the second receiving user equipment will receive another transmission from the transmitting user equipment during a second mini-slot within the slot.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Disclosed techniques provide for reliable and secure sharing of configuration parameters over physical layer reference signals. A first network node may transmit a first signal conveying a first phase to a second network node. The second network node may transmit a second signal conveying a second phase, the second phase based on the first phase and an authentication parameter common to the first and second network nodes. The first network node may determine that the second phase is based on the first phase and the authentication parameter. Based on determining that the second phase is based on the authentication parameter, the first network node may transmit a third signal conveying a third phase to the second network node, the third phase indicating a signature parameter. The first network node and the second network node may communicate based on the signature parameter.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for assisting node discovery are provided. An example method may include receiving, from a network node, an indication of a communication with a second assisting node. The example method may further include transmitting the communication to the second assisting node or discovering a third assisting node based on information associated with the second assisting node.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first user equipment (UE) may monitor sidelink transmissions, during a sensing window, using multiple active receive beams in accordance with a spatial sensing configuration. The multiple active receive beams may be usable for sidelink reception, and may correspond to multiple active transmit beams that are usable for sidelink transmission. The first UE may select multiple candidate resource sets associated respectively with the multiple active receive beams based on monitoring sidelink transmissions using the multiple active receive beams. The first UE may transmit, to a second UE, using an active transmit beam of the multiple active transmit beams, a sidelink message via one or more resources selected from a candidate resource set of the multiple candidate resource sets. The candidate resource set may be associated with an active receive beam corresponding to the active transmit beam.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for transmitting a first message to a transmitting (TX) UE for discontinuous reception (DRX) by the RX UE for sidelink (SL) communication with the TX UE, wherein the first message includes a DRX configuration including, for each of one or more SL connections or one or more network connections, one or more of a cycle duration and start offset, a slot offset, an on duration length, an inactivity timer duration, or a maximum duration of active timer and a radio frequency (RF) capability of the RX UE including one or more of a number of simultaneous RF chains, a number of beams configured for DRX, angular separations of beams configured for DRX, or power leakage values.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may measure, while communicating with a serving transmit receive point (TRP) in a half-duplex communication mode, one or more synchronization signal block (SSB) beams associated with one or more neighbor TRPs. The UE may transmit, to a base station, a mobility report indicating at least one candidate TRP based at least in part on determining that an SSB beam transmitted by the at least one candidate TRP satisfies criteria to be paired in a full-duplex communication mode or a simultaneous half-duplex multi-TRP (mTRP) communication mode. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A wireless device, such as a base station, may be configured to determine a set of silent symbols for beam calibration measurements by a User Equipment (UE) for full duplex communication. The wireless device may transmit, to the UE, an indication of the set of silent symbols for the beam calibration measurements by the UE. The wireless device may refrain from transmitting during the set of silent symbols. A wireless device, such as a UE, may receive an indication of a set of silent symbols for a beam calibration measurement by the UE for full duplex communication with a base station. The wireless device may perform beam calibration measurements for beam candidates.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater node may receive, from a control node, a configuration that indicates at least one of a time domain reconfiguration or a frequency domain reconfiguration. The repeater node may receive a first signal. The repeater node may process the first signal based at least in part on the configuration. The repeater node may generate at least one second signal based at least in part on the processed first signal. The repeater node may transmit the at least one second signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are described herein for mutual authentication in wireless communication. For example, a process may include: transmitting separate authentication requests using separate MIMO channels between network nodes; transmitting an authentication proof from one network node to another; receiving configuration requests based on successful authentication of one network node by the other over the respective MIMO paths; authenticating the configuration requests; and transmitting separate configuration responses via the separate MIMO paths based on the authentication.
