Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating autonomous synchronization are disclosed herein. For example, a UE may be configured to perform an initial synchronization directly to PSCCH and PSSCH when other synchronization sources, such as GNSS, a base station, and/or SLSS, are unavailable. An example method for wireless communication at a user equipment includes receiving a PSCCH. The example method also includes performing an initial synchronization based on the PSCCH. In some examples, the method may also include receiving a PSSCH, and determining a logical subframe number modulo 10 based on the PSSCH. The logical subframe number modulo 10 may correspond to a sequence seed.

Techniques to facilitate LTE CV2X autonomous synchronization

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and another device (e.g., another UE) may transmit messages on a shared channel accessed in a half-duplex manner (e.g., within a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network). The UE and the other device may transmit messages on semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) resources. A message of the UE and a transmission of the other device may collide (e.g., be transmitted in the same subframe). The UE may employ muting and measuring, in which the UE may refrain from transmitting on a SPS resource and may detect the transmission of the other device. Upon detection of other transmissions, the UE may perform resource reselection. During resource selection or resource reselection, the UE may exclude an entire subframe of candidate resources if one of the candidate resources of the subframe is mapped to a resource associated with a transmission from another device.

Collision avoidance of half-duplex resource selection

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may adjust a basic safety message generation periodicity based at least in part on a semi-persistent scheduling periodicity for transmitting basic safety messages. The UE may generate one or more basic safety messages based at least in part on the adjusted basic safety message generation periodicity. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Techniques for reducing semi-persistent scheduling latency

A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for receiving data and one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data from a remote user equipment (UE), buffering the data and the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data, transmitting the data to a base station, receiving at least one negative acknowledgement, relating to the data, from the base station indicating an unsuccessful reception of the data; and transmitting, in response to receiving the at least one negative acknowledgement, at least one of the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data to the base station.

Enhanced internet of things relay data re-transmission

Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques that allow a vehicle performing V2X communications to provide more accurate S-RSSI measurements and CBR calculations for use in channel selection and congestion control. Techniques may include measuring a sidelink received signal strength indicator (S-RSSI) for each of a plurality of sub-channels, determining one or more signal impairment adjustment factors based on the S-RSSI for each of the plurality of sub-channels, calculating a channel busy ratio (CBR) for the plurality of sub-channels based on the one or more signal impairment adjustment factors, and initiating communication with at least one of the plurality of sub-channels based on at least the CBR.

Sidelink signal measurement and resource selection in vehicle-to-everything communications

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to enable enhanced machine type communication (s) (eMTC) and/or narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices to transition to idle mode after releasing a connection, such as a radio resource control (RRC) connection, more quickly than with previously known techniques. An example method includes determining, based on an indication received in a narrowband signal on a narrowband region of a bandwidth comprising a plurality of narrowband regions, whether to wait for a delay period, determined based on a configuration received from a network entity, before releasing a radio resource control (RRC) connection and releasing the RRC connection at a time in accordance with the determination.

Enhanced machine type communications quick idle transition after connection release

Aspects directed towards synchronizing out of coverage (OOC) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are disclosed. In one example, a scheduled entity detects a loss of a synchronization signal associated with a V2X communication by detecting when a timing uncertainty value or error value is greater than a threshold value. Packet timing information is then received in response to the loss of the synchronization signal from at least one user equipment (UE) synchronized with the synchronization signal. The scheduled entity then maintains the V2X communication by performing a timing adjustment based on the packet timing information.

Cellular vehicle-to-everything out of coverage synchronization

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium at a transmitting user equipment (UE) in a distributed cellular vehicle-to-everything environment are disclosed to determine a schedule for transmissions on subchannels of multiple frequencies based on a set of UE-specific, dynamic, and performance related metrics or criteria. The metrics may include an estimated number of users on a subchannel, a best-bandwidth fit, channel loading conditions, transmission range, and quality requirements of an application, among others. Such a schedule for transmissions on subchannels of multiple frequencies may result in either an improved capacity utilization, an improved communication quality, or both.

Methods and apparatuses for transmission scheduling on multiple frequencies

Methods and apparatus for selection of radio access technology (RAT) based on device usage patterns are provided. A User Equipment (UE) obtains information relating to one or more Quality of Service (QoS) metrics for communication of data by the UE. The UE designates a Radio Access Technology (RAT) from a plurality of available RATs as a preferred RAT for the communication, based on the obtained information.

Radio access technology (RAT) selection based on device usage patterns

Device-to-device operations are scheduled based on receive and transmit pools that may have a conflict in time domain. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for resolving time domain conflict in device-to-device communication are provided. The apparatus may compute a first block rate metric for a first device-to-device communication on a first frequency and a second block rate metric for a second device-to-device communication on a second frequency. The apparatus may detect a time-domain conflict between the first device-to-device communication on the first frequency and the second device-to-device communication on the second frequency. The apparatus may prioritize the first device-to-device communication on the first frequency and the second device-to-device communication on the second frequency based on the first block rate metric and the second block rate metric.

Method and apparatus for resolving time domain conflict in device-to-device communication

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to conserve power after transitioning from one coverage mode to another coverage mode based on power consumption estimates. The UE may make a determination on whether to modify its current extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) values by either triggering an unscheduled timing update or waiting for a scheduled timing update. For instance, the UE may estimate power consumption based on current eDRX values and the time remaining until a scheduled timing update procedure and compare this estimate to power consumption estimate based on modified eDRX values and the amount of power consumed to perform an unscheduled timing update procedure. Based on the comparison, the UE may update its eDRX values through an unscheduled TAU or through the regularly scheduled TAU procedure.

Dynamic timing update techniques for wireless devices

In device-to-device (D2D) communication in a licensed spectrum, selection of a transmit pool and distribution of codes to be transmitted to the transmit pools for more efficient transmission is desired, for a given period. The apparatus may a user equipment (UE) for D2D communication in a licensed spectrum. The UE sets a discovery epoch to a shortest discovery period among discovery periods of a plurality of transmit resource pools, each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools associated with a respective frequency. The UE estimates a channel utilization of each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools based on one or more previous transmissions on each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools. The UE selects a transmit resource pool among the plurality of transmit resource pools for a D2D transmission within the discovery epoch based on the estimated channel utilizations.

Methods for TxPool selection for LTE-D code transmission

Methods, systems, and devices are described for recovery from a connection disruption of a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-carrier mode. The UE may establish a first connection with a primary cell and a second connection with a secondary cell while operating in the multi-carrier mode. A determination may be made that a disruption in the connection with the primary cell has occurred, and the UE may perform a connection reestablishment procedure to attempt to reestablish communications. The connection reestablishment routine may prioritize the secondary cell ahead of one or more other cells for attempting to reestablish communications. The prioritization may be based at least in part on the establishment of the second connection in the multi-carrier mode.
