Abstract
Techniques, described herein, may enable a vehicle to engage in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications via PC5 sidelink (SL), even when the vehicle does not have a global positioning system (GPS) or other type of satellite signal. While receiving a satellite signal, the vehicle may pre-store future geographic locations based on a travel route and upon detecting a loss of the satellite signal, the vehicle may estimate a geographic location of the UE based on one or more types of information, such as mapping or navigation capabilities of the UE, a travel time since the signal failure or last estimated geographic location, a travel velocity since the signal failure or last estimated geographic location, etc. The vehicle may determine, based on an estimated geographic location, that physical resources are appropriate for SL communication and begin using the physical resources accordingly.
