International Classification:

G08G 1/16
G08G 1/0967

Abstract:

A user equipment (UE) in a vehicle, or a road side unit, may broadcast an inter-vehicle message for a driving maneuver to be executed by the vehicle. The inter-vehicle message may be a coordinated driving maneuver request requiring acceptance from another vehicle or an informational message for the intended driving maneuver. The inter-vehicle message includes a temporal execution window defining a range of time during which the driving maneuver will be initiated. A temporal window defining a range of time during which the driving maneuver will be completed may also be included. A spatial window defining a range of distance for a start and/or stop location for the driving maneuver may also be completed. The vehicle may execute the driving maneuver within the temporal execution window, e.g., if a driving maneuver response is received before the expiration of the temporal execution window, and will otherwise cancel the driving maneuver.

International Classification:

G01S 5/02
H04W 4/02
H04W 72/04
H04W 4/06
H04L 5/00

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An initiator user equipment (UE) may broadcast, via a sidelink connection to a set of target UEs, a group sidelink communication request that includes a sidelink ranging service identifier. The group sidelink communication request may further include a broadcast identifier or a groupcast identifier. The initiator UE may establish, via the sidelink connection, a set of unicast sidelink sessions with the set of target UEs. some examples, the initiator UE may transmit, via the sidelink connection, a set of position reference signal requests via the set of unicast sidelink sessions to initiate a set of sidelink ranging sessions. The initiator UE may then receive, via the sidelink connection, a set of position reference signal responses from the set of target UEs during each of the plurality of sidelink ranging sessions.

International Classification:

G01S 5/02
H04W 64/00
H04W 76/14
H04W 76/15
H04L 5/00

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, one or more user equipments (UEs) may implement distance-limited sidelink-based ranging techniques. An initiating UE may transmit one or more positioning reference signal (PRS) request messages to one or more target UEs via a sidelink channel. In some cases, the initiating UE may receive one or more response messages from at least one target UE that is located within a threshold distance from the initiating UE. In some examples, based on receiving the one or more response messages, the initiating UE may transmit PRSs to each target UE that transmitted a response message.

International Classification:

H04W 4/029
H04W 4/20
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may receive positioning information for a first user equipment (UE), the first UE supporting sidelink communications via a sidelink interface with one or more roadside units. The base station may identify that a second UE is associated with the first UE, the association between the first UE and the second UE satisfying a threshold and the second UE supporting sidelink-assisted positioning. The base station may provide, to a network entity, a message indicating the positioning information for the first UE and identifying the first UE and the second UE.

Abstract:

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) management for groupcast and broadcast are disclosed herein. A transmitter user equipment (UE) may determine one or more adjustments to a sidelink DRX configuration or DRX operation based on one or more factors of the transmitter UE, and transmit, to a receiver UE over a sidelink channel, during at least a portion of a sidelink DRX active duration, a first message comprising an indication of the one or more adjustments to the sidelink DRX configuration or DRX operation. A receiver UE may receive, from a transmitter UE sent to multiple UEs over a sidelink channel, during a portion of a sidelink DRX active duration, a first message comprising an indication of one or more first adjustments to a sidelink DRX configuration or DRX operation, and determine whether to respond to the indication based on parameters of the receiver UE.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to perform groupcast transmission on a sidelink channel of a high frequency band, such as a millimeter wave (mmW) band. The UE may transmit, via a sidelink channel, beamformed repetitions of a packet in multiple directions corresponding to multiple quality of service (QoS) profiles configured for transmission of the packet. The UE may determine precoders to transmit the packet in the multiple directions. Each repetition of the packet may be associated with a separate hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. The UE may perform precoder cycling to transmit the packet in the multiple directions, and the UE may retransmit the packet in directions where the initial transmission was unsuccessful.
