    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine a location of an object relative to the wireless communication device, wherein the location is determined based at least in part on a result of processing one or more images that include the object. The wireless communication device may configure at least one of a beam or a beam scan characteristic used to identify the beam to be used by the wireless communication device based at least in part on the location of the object relative to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may communicate using the beam. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe configuring a number of antennas in an antenna array to use in communicating in a wireless network. The number of antennas of the antenna array, less than all available antennas for transmission or reception in the antenna array, can be determined such to achieve a radio frequency (RF) power that results in a certain effective data rate for communicating in the wireless network. The number of antennas can be indicated, over a backhaul, to one or more other access points of the wireless network to coordinate using of the number of antennas at a determined time. One or more devices in the wireless network can be communicated with using the number of antennas.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to device-to-device (D2D) and, more particularly, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication in which an efficient ranging protocol allows efficient ranging-assisted vehicle positioning. A vehicle transmits a first slot ID in a first control period, to indicate a first time slot for transmitting a first ranging signal in a ranging cycle including a plurality of time slots. The vehicle transmits the first ranging signal in the first time slot in the ranging cycle. From a second vehicle, the first vehicle receives a second ranging signal in a second time slot that is different from the first time slot in the ranging cycle. The first vehicle determines a first time-of-arrival (ToA) of the second ranging signal when received by the first vehicle, and transmits the first ToA in a second control period.

    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: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for beam management in wireless communication systems. In some examples, beam angle information (e.g., angles of arrival/departure) may be utilized to select one or more serving downlink beams for communication between a scheduling entity and a scheduled entity. The beam angle information may further be utilized to facilitate additional operations within a backhaul network, such as wireless node locating, obstacle locating, system mapping within the network topology, beam determination and beam sweeping configuration, and mobility management among wireless nodes of a backhaul network. In other examples, aperiodic uplink beam measurements may be triggered based on downlink beam measurement reports and/or in response to a request from a scheduled entity. The scheduling entity may then jointly select uplink and downlink beams based on both the received downlink beam measurement report and uplink beam measurements.
