    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a wireless device to perform an SL ranging based on a single-sided PRS transmission. In one aspect, a first wireless device transmits one or more reference signals to at least one RIS associated with a second wireless device. The first wireless device receives one or more reflected reference signals reflected from the at least one RIS. The first wireless device calculates a signal RTT based on the one or more reference signals and the one or more reflected reference signals. In another aspect, a second wireless device transmits, to a first wireless device, information indicating a time, a duration, or a periodicity in which at least one RIS associated with the second wireless device is to be activated. The second wireless device activate the at least one RIS based on the information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sidelink wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE), such as a vehicle UE, that supports full-duplex communications may transmit a sidelink control channel during a set of time resources including scheduling information for a subsequent transmission by the UE via a first set of resources. The UE may receive a sidelink control channel during the set of time resources from a second UE that may support full-duplex communications or half-duplex communications. The sidelink control channel may include scheduling information for a subsequent transmission via a second set of time-frequency resources that at least partially overlaps with the first set of time-frequency resources. The first UE may determine that a collision will occur and may perform a resource selection procedure or may transmit a request for the second device to perform the resource selection procedure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device (e.g., a vehicle) in wireless communications system (e.g., a cellular-vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system) may support adaptive radar transmissions based on information received in a public safety message. The communication device may use information included in the public safety message to adapt radar transmissions to enable timely detection of vulnerable road users (VRUs). In some examples, based on a location and a velocity estimate provided in the public safety message, the communication device may adjust the radar transmissions to experience a trade-off between range and velocity estimation performance. Additionally or alternatively, based on positional accuracy estimates provided in the public safety message, the communication device may adjust the radar transmissions to improve beamforming. By adapting the radar transmissions, the communication device may experience low latency and high reliability for VRU collision warnings in the C-V2X system.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE), e.g., such as a pedestrian UE (PUE), may detect, during a first transmission period of a discontinuous transmission cycle, a transmission over a sidelink channel from a second UE that is located within a threshold distance from the first UE, the first UE associated with a first identifier. The first UE may determine, based at least in part on the transmission, a second identifier associated with the second UE, the second identifier being different from the first identifier. The first UE may use, based at least in part on the second UE being within the threshold distance, the first identifier and the second identifier during one or more subsequent transmission periods of the discontinuous transmission cycle.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a vehicle (V-UE) broadcasts multi-phased ranging signals with which other entities may determine the range to the V-UE. The multi-phased ranging signals may include a first message, which may be broadcast in the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) spectrum, includes ranging information, such as a source identifier, location information for the broadcasting V-UE, and an expected time of broadcast of the ranging signal. The ranging signal may then be broadcast at the expected time and may include the source identifier. A second message, which be broadcast in the ITS spectrum, may include clock error information for the V-UE. A receiving entity may determine the range to the V-UE based on the time of arrival of the ranging signal and the expected time of transmission, as well as the clock error information. The receiving entity may further generate a position estimate based on the received location information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may select, based at least in part on a sensor selection criteria, a first subset of sensors from a set of available sensors of the UE, each sensor in the set of available sensors associated with a sensor type. The UE may perform, using the first subset of sensors, sensing operations to obtain a first sensing data, the first sensing data comprising sensing data measured by the UE during the sensing operations. The UE may transmit a first sensing report indicating the first sensing data. The UE may receive, based at least in part on the first sensing report, a second sensing report indicating a second sensing data, the second sensing data comprising a unified sensing report based on the first sensing report from the UE and one or more additional sensing reports from other UE.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to mechanisms to provide physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) negotiation during sidelink connection establishment. A first UE may determine one or more conditions for PSFCH communications via the sidelink session(s) with the second UE. If the second UE accepts the conditions provided, the first and second UEs complete the sidelink connection. Further, while the first UE has a sidelink communication session with the second UE, a third UE may initiate another sidelink connection with the first UE. The first UE may compare the priority of the proposed sidelink connection with the priority of the ongoing sidelink communication session with the second UE. If the second UE's priority is greater, the first UE will maintain the second UE's status. If less, the first UE may engage in a renegotiation with second UE for the ongoing sidelink communication session to update their PSFCH conditions.
