This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support visual sensing for positioning. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving a first image of an object from an image capture device. The method also includes receiving location information that includes a coordinate point, a position of the UE determined based on the coordinate point, or a combination thereof. The coordinate point is generated based on a relative orientation between the UE and a network entity, and a matched pair of points including a first point of the first image and a second point of a second image of the object captured by the network entity. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Visual sensing for positioning

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a transmitter user equipment (UE). The transmitter UE generates a message authentication code, based on information within a sidelink master information block (SL-MIB) and a key shared between the transmitter UE and a receiver UE. The transmitter UE transmits a sidelink broadcast channel (SL-BCH) transmission carrying the SL-MIB and the message authentication code.

Secure timing for sidelink systems

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE, an indication of a first reservation of a first resource associated with a first relay link of a UE-to-UE relay, wherein the first reservation is based at least in part on a second reservation of a second resource associated with a second relay link of the UE-to-UE relay. The UE may perform a sidelink communication in accordance with the first resource. Numerous other aspects are described.

Techniques for resource reservations for user equipment relays

A first user equipment (UE) wakes up a second UE to request information using an application specific sidelink wake up signal (SL-WUS). The first UE determines a sidelink configuration of the second UE that is configured with a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. The first UE transmits the SL-WUS on a configured resource monitored by the second UE during the DRX mode. A selection of a sequence of the SL-WUS or a selection of the configured resource indicates a type of information requested by the first UE. The second UE receives the SL-WUS, wakes up during a DRX on duration, and transmits the requested information. The first UE receives the type of information requested by the first UE.

Application specific wake up signals for sidelink systems

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) (e.g., a vehicle, low-power sensor) may identify that the UE satisfies a set of conditions for a stationary state. The stationary state may be associated with a configuration for transmitting a position message (e.g., a basic safety message (BSM)) while the UE satisfies the stationary state. The UE may identify a periodicity at which to transmit the position message based on the UE satisfying the set of conditions for the stationary state, where the periodicity associated with a stationary state may be larger than a periodicity associated with a non-stationary state. The UE may transmit (e.g., broadcast) the position message over a sidelink in accordance with the configuration and based on identifying that the UE satisfies the set of conditions for the stationary state.

Techniques for configuring transmission of a position message

Aspects present herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. The apparatus may receive, from a base station, a security mode command message associated with secure sidelink communication with at least one other UE. The apparatus may also identify, based on the security mode command message, at least one of a RRC encryption key or a user plane encryption key. Additionally, the apparatus may receive, from the base station, an indication of at least one of a common base key or the RRC encryption key. The apparatus may also identify a physical layer sidelink encryption key based on at least one of the common base key or the RRC encryption key, the physical layer sidelink encryption key being associated with the secure sidelink communication with the at least one other UE.

Secure sidelink communication

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive, from one or more user equipments (UEs), feedback information associated with a distributed sensing procedure. The network node may select, based at least in part on the feedback information, a set of UEs to be included in the distributed sensing procedure. The network node may transmit, to the set of UEs, an indication of configuration parameters associated with the distributed sensing procedure. Numerous other aspects are described.

Distributed sensing with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a common key. The UE may communicate with one or more other UEs using a lower layer groupcast key that is based at least in part on the common key, a parameter, and at least one of a group identifier or a destination identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.

Lower layer security for groupcast communication

Wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) may include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The WTRUs/UAVs may cooperate to exchange channel busy ratio (CBR) and/or CBR statistics of one or more (e.g., all) the carriers that the WTRUs/UAVs monitors with each other for carrier selection/carrier reselection. A network may provide one or more inputs on carrier selection. For example, a network may provide one or more inputs on carrier selection based on the congestion that the network infers (e.g., through the CBR measurements reported by the WTRUs/UAVs and/or through its own measurements). MAC/PHY layers may be configured to perform transmit adaptation during PDCP packet duplication. For example, the carrier aggregation capability of receivers may be considered to adapt the number of transmissions per carrier. Based on the carrier aggregation capability of the receivers, the number of transmissions at one or more (e.g., every) carriers may be optimized jointly across carriers.

Carrier aggregation for wireless transmit/receive unit

Method, apparatus and systems are disclosed. In one representative embodiment, a method may be implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communication via a network access point (NAP). The method may include the WTRU receiving from the NAP a set of preambles and corresponding propagation delay related thresholds and determining propagation delay related information associated with a distance between the WTRU and the NAP or a location in a coverage of the NAP. The method may further include selecting a subset of preambles from the set of preambles based on the determined propagation delay related information, randomly selecting a preamble from the selected subset of preambles, and sending the randomly selected preamble to the NAP.

Methods, apparatus, systems and procedures for distance dependent random access channel (RACH) preamble selection in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs)

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support multiple-transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) based positioning. In some aspects, a method includes transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE) including a first set of transmission and reception points (TRPs), a first request for a first sidelink (SL) positioning session. The first request indicates a multi-TRP positioning session is enabled. The method also includes receiving, from a second UE including a second set of TRPs, a first response based on the first request. The first response indicates a number of TRPs of the second set of TRPs available for the first SL positioning session. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Multi-transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) based positioning

An example device for exchanging media data via a network includes a memory configured to store media data; and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to: retrieve data representative of an expected time between a first frame of media data and a second frame of the media data from a media application; receive the first frame of the media data at a first time; wait to process the second frame of the media data until a second time that is equal to or greater than the first time plus the expected time; and process the second frame of the media data at the second time.

Signaling media timing information from a media application to a network element

A method of assisting joint network entity/user equipment and user equipment/user equipment (NE/UE-and-UE/UE) ranging includes: transmitting, from a first UE to a network entity, a capability indication that indicates a capability of the first UE to serve as an anchor UE for joint NE/UE-and-UE/UE ranging; obtaining, at the first UE, a location of the first UE; transmitting, from the first UE, the location of the first UE; transmitting, from the first UE to the network entity, at least one indication that a second UE is in a line of sight of the first UE or that the second UE is in close proximity to the first UE; and transmitting, from the first UE, at least one of a first positioning reference signal to the second UE, or a measurement report indicating a measurement of a second positioning reference signal received by the first UE from the second UE.

Joint network entity/user equipment-and-user equipment/user equipment ranging

Techniques for using optical sensing by wireless network nodes to assist with positioning of user equipment (UE) are provided. In some embodiments, such techniques may include sending first configuration information to the UE, the first configuration information indicative of how optical sensory data is to be obtained with the UE; receiving the optical sensory data from the UE; and based at least on the optical sensory data received from the UE, determining angular information regarding wireless transmissions between at least one wireless network node and the UE.

Positioning and beam alignment based on optical sensing

Aspects are provided which allow a UE to achieve sidelink parameter coordination through various signaling in clustered FL or peer-to-peer FL. The UE provides a first ML model information update and a measurement associated with the update. The UE obtains an aggregated ML model information update aggregating the first update with a second ML model information update of either a first network node in a FL cluster including the UE or a second network node in a second FL cluster. The UE provides a sidelink communication parameter in SCI to a network node, which parameter is an output of an ML model associated with the aggregated ML model information update. As a result, UEs may derive common SCI parameters from their updated ML models to apply in sidelink communications, thereby leading to maximized packet reception rate, maximized throughput, or minimized latency in communication.
