A first device may communicate an SL NC TB with a second device. At least one of the first device and the second device may be a UE. The first device may transmit, to a network entity, a first message having a first location information that indicates a movement of the UE from a first zone to a second zone. The first message may have a first location information associated with the UE. The UE may be in SL communication with a first encoder in the first zone. The network entity may obtain, from the first device, the first message. The network entity may initialize an NC handover of the UE to a second encoder of the second zone in response to the first location information indicating a movement of the UE from the first zone to the second zone.

Mode 1 network entity initiated network coding handover

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a plurality of sidelink transmissions associated with a spatial division multiplexing (SDM) configuration. The UE may fail to decode at least one sidelink transmission of the plurality of sidelink transmissions. The UE may transmit feedback indicating the failure to decode the at least one sidelink transmission, wherein the feedback includes an indication of at least one layer of the SDM configuration associated with the at least one sidelink transmission. Numerous other aspects are described.

Sidelink feedback for multiple transmit-receive points

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for using physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a sidelink resource pool that, in some cases, might not belong to a sub-channel in sidelink or are assigned to a special sub-channel. When a user equipment (UE) is transmitting a sidelink communication, the sidelink communication often takes place in resource pools that include sub-channels in frequency domain and slots in a time domain. A first subset of PRBs of the resource pool may be assigned to one or more sub-channels in the frequency domain. The disclosed methods, devices, and systems provide for identifying PRBs not assigned to the first subset (e.g., remaining or unused PRBs or PRBs assigned to a special sub-channel). In some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE may use these PRBs for various purposes.

Techniques for using physical resource blocks (PRBS) in a sidelink resource pool

An effective approach for a user equipment (UE) to perform a sidelink communication with another UE in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode is disclosed. For example, a UE may determine a direct frame number (DFN) timing, and configure a sidelink DRX mode using one or more sidelink DRX parameters based on the DFN timing. The UE may perform a sidelink communication with a second UE during an on-duration of a sidelink DRX cycle in the sidelink DRX mode according to the one or more sidelink DRX parameters.

Discontinuous reception in sidelink communication based on a direct frame number

Aspects presented herein provide a low PAPR waveform design based on resource spreading, pulse shaping, and/or dynamic MCS configuration, such that a transmitting wireless device may set IBO of its PA closer to the saturation point of the PA to enhance the PA efficiency. In one aspect, a first network node receives waveform information from a second network node, where the waveform information includes at least one of: one or more first parameters associated with a first waveform type or one or more second parameters associated with a second waveform type. The first network node processes data based on the one or more first parameters associated with the first waveform type or the one or more second parameters associated with the second waveform type. The first network node transmits a waveform based on the processed data, where the waveform is the first waveform type or the second waveform type.

A method of wireless communication at a first V2X device is described herein. The method includes obtaining a message including a MAC header, an L1 source ID, and an L1 destination ID. The method includes decoding the MAC header to produce an L2 source ID associated with the message based on at least one of (1) the L1 destination ID of the message matching a first number of bits of an L2 source ID of the first V2X device or (2) the L1 source ID of the message matching a second number of bits of the L2 source ID of the first V2X device. The method includes outputting an indication of a MAC cloning attack based on the L2 source ID of the message matching the L2 source ID of the first V2X device.

MAC address cloning attack detection for V2X devices

Sidelink (SL) positioning of user equipments (UEs) is supported by assigning priority values to SL positioning operations, e.g., transmission or reception of SL positioning reference signals (PRS). The priority value, for example, may be (pre-)configured or provided to the physical (PHY) layer from higher layers. The UE selects resources for the SL positioning operations based on at least the priority value. The UE may reserve resources for the SL positioning operations, for example, using Layer 1 (L1) and/or Layer 2 (L2) control operations or by transmitting an indication that other UEs are to avoid using the resources. The priority values for the SL positioning operations may be used to resolve in-device conflicts, such as when the SL positioning operations conflict with other sidelink or non-sidelink operations.

Resource selection and prioritization of sidelink positioning operations

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network node may store, in a first buffer, a first set of transport blocks (TBs) received at the network node over a wireless channel during a first time window. The network node may store, in a second buffer, a second set of TBs received at the network node over the wireless channel during a second time window and according to at least one monitoring criterion. The network node may receive a first set of one or more network coding messages over the wireless channel. The network node may decode the first set of one or more network coding messages based on the first set of TBs in the first buffer. The network node may transmit a second set of one or more network coding messages corresponding to a portion of the second set of TBs in the second buffer.

Distributed multi-encoder network coding design

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating a SL communication for moderesource allocation are disclosed herein. An example method includes performing sensing on one or more SL resources to identify a first set of available resources.

In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may determine, based at least in part on a channel sensing using a receive beam of the first UE, preferred resources or non-preferred resources of the first UE for a sidelink transmission by a second UE. The UE may transmit, to the second UE, inter-UE coordination (IUC) information that indicates: a transmit beam of the second UE, and the preferred resources or the non-preferred resources of the first UE, wherein the preferred resources or the non-preferred resources of the first UE are to be applied to the transmit beam of the second UE indicated in the IUC information. Numerous other aspects are described.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify multiple candidate sets of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) transmissions that include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for sidelink communications received from one or more peer UEs. The UE may select, from one or more of the multiple candidate sets that satisfy a PSFCH transmit power constraint, at least one candidate set that has a highest value for a utility parameter among utility parameters associated with each of the one or more candidate sets that satisfy a PSFCH transmit power constraint. The UE may transmit, on a PSFCH, the plurality of PSFCH transmissions included in the at least one candidate set in a HARQ feedback occasion. Numerous other aspects are provided.
