Abstract:
A UE may receive, from a base station, a message requesting BSI. The UE may determine a number N of BSI reports to send to the base station, and each BSI report may indicate a beam index corresponding to a beam and a received power associated with the beam. The UE may send, to the base station, N BSI reports based on the message requesting BSI. The UE may receive, from the base station, a set of signals through a set of beams, and determine the received power for each signal of the set of signals received through each beam of the set of beams, each received power may be associated with a beam of the set of beams.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus can receive a packet at a Uu protocol stack of a first user equipment (UE), the packet intended for a base station. In addition, the apparatus can transfer the packet from the Uu protocol stack of the first UE to a PC5 interface protocol stack of the first UE. Furthermore, the apparatus can modify a header of the packet at the PC5 interface protocol stack to identify the packet as relayed uplink traffic intended for the base station from the first UE. Moreover, the apparatus can transmit the packet including the modified header to a second UE for relaying to the base station.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus retrieves a particular number corresponding to a UE. To retrieve the particular number, the apparatus may receive the particular number through a channel request from the UE. Alternately, the apparatus may assign the particular number to the UE in order to retrieve the particular number. The apparatus determines a resource block within a coverage class based on the particular number. To determine the resource block, the apparatus maps the particular number to a resource block number within the coverage class using a hash function. The resource block number identifies the resource block. The apparatus transmits a device-specific control message to the UE using the determined resource block.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a first node. The first node receives synchronization information. The first node determines at least one discovery frame based on the synchronization information. The first node receives scheduling data from the second node in one of the at least one discovery frame. The first node determines a first awake period of the second node based on the scheduling data of the second node. The first node determines a second awake period of the first node based on the first awake period. The first node associates with the second node. The first node remains awake for communication in the second awake period.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a first set of channels for communicating with another apparatus. Each channel in the first set is determined by performing beam training with the other apparatus. The apparatus further determines a second set of channels from the first set, wherein the channels of the second set have a channel condition greater than a threshold. The apparatus communicates data via the second set, wherein a channel of the second set on which the data is communicated is based on the channel condition of at least one channel of the second set.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for beamforming in a wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a beamforming direction and a SNR of at least two user equipments (UEs) and determines whether to schedule communication with the at least two UEs during a same time interval via a single communication beam based on the beamforming directions and the SNRs of the at least two UEs. When the communication with the at least two UEs during the same time interval via the single communication beam is scheduled, the apparatus allocates bandwidth resources respectively among the at least two UEs, sizes a width of the single communication beam to encompass the beamforming directions of the at least two UEs, and communicates with one or more of the at least two UEs during the same time interval via a respectively allocated bandwidth resource using the sized single communication beam.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle. The mapping is a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs. Resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs may be in adjacent allocated resources. The UE transmits the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs.
