Abstract:
A framework to manage coexistence of multiple technologies over multiple channels is desired. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The UE detects whether a second technology different from a first communication technology utilized by the UE is active on a first channel. The UE performs, based on the detection, an action associated with assigning the first communication technology to at least one of the first channel or a second channel.
Abstract:
In an aspect an apparatus receives information as part of a handover command, the information received from a serving cell and including radio resource information used in a neighboring cell for V2X communications. Additionally, the apparatus transmits, from the UE, a request for V2X communication resources as part of a handover command. In another aspect an apparatus transmits a serving cell SIB to a UE, the SIB including a reception pool. The apparatus transmits a cell ID in the serving cell SIB for a neighboring cell. The reception pool is a transmission pool for the neighboring cell. The apparatus relinquishes a communication with the UE to a base station in the neighboring cell.
Abstract:
The present disclosure enables the assignment of multiple semi-persistent resource assignments at the same time for use in V2V communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE (e.g., a vehicle). The UE may determine at least one resource pattern required for V2V communications. The UE may also send assistance information for the at least one resource pattern to a base station. Further, the UE may receive, from the base station, a response associated with the at least one resource pattern. In an aspect, the response may include an index of approved resource patterns. Further still, the UE may receive, from the base station, an activation grant for a resource assignment for the at least one resource pattern. In an aspect, activation grant may include the index of approved resource patterns being activated.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus receives a D2D resource message based on a change in an uplink-downlink subframe configuration of at least one frame. The D2D resource message enables the apparatus to determine D2D resources allocated for D2D transmissions after the change in the uplink-downlink subframe configuration. The apparatus determines a subset of the D2D resources to be used for performing D2D transmissions based on the received D2D resource message.
Abstract:
Techniques for scheduling assignment (SA) transmissions in device-to-device (D2D) communications are described. A D2D user equipment (UE) may use a block of time resources for SA transmissions. A D2D UE may transmit an SA transmission relatively quickly after determining that D2D data is to be transmitted to another D2D UE, relative to having to wait for specified time resources to send an SA transmission. The D2D data may then be transmitted following the SA transmission, reducing latency for transmission of the D2D data. It may be desirable for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmissions to have a relatively low latency to provide data from one vehicle to another with sufficient time for a vehicle to take action while moving at relatively high rates of speed.
Abstract:
When a UE in a first cell operating at a first frequency attempts to discover another UE in a second cell operating at a second frequency, the UE in the first cell may need to constantly monitor communication on the second frequency to discover the UE in the second cell, which may not be desirable. According to an aspect of the disclosure, the apparatus receives, on a first frequency of a first channel from a first base station serving a first cell, discovery information associated with a second frequency of a second channel corresponding to a second cell, wherein the first frequency is a downlink (DL) frequency and the second frequency is an uplink (UL) frequency. The apparatus discovers, based on the received discovery information, one or more UEs on the second frequency of the second channel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are describe for signaling protocols for proximity service functions in a wireless communication system. A first wireless device may identify a group identity parameter associated with a multicast transmission of multimedia content. The first wireless device may map the identified group identity parameter to an identification parameter associated with at least one proximity service (ProSe) relay wireless device. The first wireless device may receive the multicast transmission of the multimedia content via the at least one ProSe relay wireless device based on the mapping of the identified group identity parameter to the identification parameter.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and devices are described for transmissions and retransmissions of device-to-device (D2D) communications. A D2D message may be transmitted during an initial communications period, followed by one or more retransmissions. A device may transmit an initial transmission, determine a time hopping pattern for the retransmission(s), and determine a transmission resource for the retransmission(s) based at least in part on a resource of the initial transmission and the time hopping pattern. The messages may include, for example, a scheduling assignment (SA) for data transmission, or data transmissions from a transmitting device. Time hopping patterns may be determined based on times and/or frequencies of the initial transmission. A base station may transmit a message to a transmitting device that indicates one or more time hopping patterns that are to be used for the transmissions.
Abstract:
A user device may receive one or more parameters from a base station to facilitate device-to-device (D2D) discovery. One of the received parameters is a discovery period parameter, which identifies a discovery period in which discovery resources are available for D2D discovery. Once the user device has received the parameters, the user device may use the parameters to participate in D2D discovery.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are described for forwarding, managing, and/or detecting timing information for device-to-device discovery. Timing information may be received from a base station. A timing signal including the timing information may be transmitted. The timing signal may be transmitted during a sub-frame reserved for device-to-device discovery. Timing information for a base station may be transmitted to a user equipment (UE). Instructions to transmit a timing signal including the timing information during a sub- frame reserved for device-to-device discovery are also transmitted to the UE. Information indicating a timing of sub-frames reserved for device-to-device discovery by a neighboring base station may be received from a serving base station. A timing signal may be detected during at least one of the sub-frames reserved for device-to-device discovery. The timing signal may include timing information for the neighboring base station.
