Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An eNB determines a CCA parameter for use by a UE in performing a CCA procedure for UL transmission and transmits an indication of the CCA parameter to the UE. The UE receives an indication of the CCA parameter for UL transmission from the eNB and performs the CCA procedure for UL transmission using the indicated CCA parameter. The UE may transmit to the eNB prior to receiving the indication of the CCA parameter. The eNB may use the report in determining the CCA parameter for use by the UE.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for detecting interference caused by a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a wireless wide area network (WWAN) node operating in an unlicensed or shared spectrum is disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a base station may generate a null tone pattern for one or more subframes transmitted to the UE. The null tone pattern may include one or more null tones mapped to consecutive symbols in each resource block to detect interference. Accordingly, a UE may monitor a wireless channel from a base station for a null tone transmission. The UE may detect a null tone pattern by decoding a known physical layer channel to identify the null tone pattern. In some aspects, the UE may generate channel estimates, decode allocated resources, determine timing of future transmissions and/or establish communication with the base station based on the identified null tone pattern.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for a method of interference detection using adaptive energy detection in unlicensed spectrum. The method can include a first modem operating according to a first radio access technology (RAT) receiving a message from a network entity operating according to the first RAT. The first modem sends a detected energy level value to a second modem that is using a second RAT, where the detected energy level value is based at least on the measured energy level of the received message. The second modem adjusts an energy detection threshold based on the detected energy level value received from the first modem. In an aspect, the first modem receives messages from a plurality of network entities operating according to the first RAT, where the detected energy level value is determined based on measured energy levels of the plurality of received messages.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for wireless communications. For example, an example of a process for performing sidelink positioning at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, at the UE, a resource block including a plurality of sidelink symbols in a slot. The resource block includes a first symbol of the plurality of sidelink symbols with at least a first sidelink positioning reference signal (PRS) resource, a second symbol of the plurality of sidelink symbols with at least a second sidelink PRS resource, and a third symbol of the plurality of sidelink symbols with at least a shared sidelink channel resource comprising a sidelink positioning measurement report. The processor further includes processing, at the UE, at least one resource in each symbol of the plurality of sidelink symbols in the slot.
Abstract:
Sidelink based positioning of a user equipment (UE) using multiple sidelink UEs as anchor nodes is based on the synchronization status of available sidelink UEs. The synchronization reference of each available sidelink UE may be determined, for example, and sidelink UEs are selected for sidelink positioning based on their synchronization references. For example, sidelink UEs that have a common synchronization source and/or have higher synchronization priority level may be selected for sidelink positioning over other sidelink UEs. Additionally, the positioning method used for the sidelink positioning session may be selected based on the synchronization quality of each of the sidelink UEs. If each sidelink UE has a synchronization quality within a range, a time synchronization sensitive positioning method may be selected, but if one or more sidelink UEs have a synchronization quality outside the range, a positioning method that is less time synchronization sensitive may be selected.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a first user equipment (UE) may send a first message comprising a quality of service (QoS) profile to a second UE. The QoS profile may include a response time requirement for providing positioning information within the positioning session. The first UE may receive a second message from the second UE, the second message comprising an indication of whether the second UE can meet the response time requirement. The first UE may determine resource pool parameters for the positioning session. The resource pool parameters may be based at least in part on the indication of whether the second UE can meet the response time requirement. The first UE may send a third message comprising the resource pool parameters to the second UE.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is configured for supporting positioning using sounding reference signal (SRS) periodic burst transmissions that includes a plurality of sets of SRS transmissions, where each set of SRS transmissions includes a repetition of SRS resources. The configuration for the SRS periodic burst transmissions includes a start time for the SRS periodic burst transmissions, a repetition configuration for the SRS resources within each set, and a repetition configuration for the plurality of sets of SRS transmissions. The configuration may be received in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration message or a Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) message that activates the SRS periodic burst transmissions, and the SRS periodic burst transmissions may be deactivated with a RRC reconfiguration message or another MAC-CE message.
Abstract:
Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to store multiple sets of UE processing capabilities at one or more entities, and to activate one of the stored sets based on the UE's current processing availabilities to improve positioning latency. In one aspect, a UE transmits, to at least one of a second UE, a base station, or a network entity, a plurality of capability sets associated with UE positioning processing, the plurality of capability sets including at least a first capability set corresponding to a first level of the UE positioning processing and a second capability set corresponding to a second level of the UE positioning processing, the first level being different from the second level. The UE transmits, to the at least one of the second UE, the base station, or the network entity, an indication to activate one of the plurality of capability sets for UE positioning.
Abstract:
In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may measure one or more positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission-reception-points (TRPs). The UE may measure one or more backscattered signals received from one or more ambient Internet-of-things (IoT) anchor devices, wherein the one or more backscattered signals correspond to the one or more PRS received at the one or more ambient IoT anchor devices.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a first UE may receive an indication of the positioning session in which the first UE is to participate, wherein the first UE is to participate by sending and/or receiving SL-PRS via an SL communication link with a second UE. The first UE may obtain, with the first UE, the SL PRS DRX configuration for the positioning session, wherein: the SL PRS DRX configuration for the positioning session designates a plurality of DRX cycles during the positioning session, each DRX cycle having a respective ON duration and a respective OFF duration. The first UE may monitor the SL communication link for the positioning information with the first UE in accordance with the SL PRS DRX configuration.
