Abstract

A block-acknowledgement mechanism employing first and second variable-length bitmaps. The first bitmap carries a plurality of one-bit flags that enable omission, from the second bitmap, of entire segments of acknowledgement-status bits corresponding to the same acknowledgment status, e.g., received or not received. The value of a dedicated control bit in the BA-information field determines the interpretation of binary “0s” and “1s” of the second bitmap in terms of the acknowledgement status. Different embodiments are compatible with fragmented and non-fragmented transmission of the corresponding data units. At least some embodiments are beneficially capable of producing shorter BA frames than comparable prior-art solutions under at least some wireless-channel conditions.

Abstract

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an AGC symbol usage for sidelink positioning reference signal transmission. In an aspect, a first terminal device determines a sidelink (SL) positioning reference signal (PRS) sequence for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol preceding an SL PRS resource in a resource pool configured for transmitting SL PRS; and performs transmission to a second terminal device on the OFDM symbol based on the determined SL PRS sequence. This way, the first terminal device can transmit an OFDM symbol for AGC preceding the SL PRS resource, to adjust the RF level in the second terminal device, thus improving the positioning performance for the second terminal device.

Abstract

A Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) configuration for signal-carrier waveforms (e.g., Known Tail Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (KT-DFT-s-OFDM) or Single Carrier Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) waveforms) used in a communication network. For this purpose, a configurable-length sequence of modulation symbols is added in the beginning and end of each single-carrier waveform symbol. One or more sequences of modulation symbols are reported to a User Equipment (UE) from a network node. The PTRS configuration is defined at the UE based on the sequence length(s) and indicative of how PTRS mapping is to be performed within each single-carrier waveform symbol. The UE may then perform communications with the network node using the PTRS configuration. With such PTRS configuration, it is possible to efficiently perform phase noise detection and compensation.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to pathloss reference signal (PL-RS) maintenance for cell activation. In an aspect, a terminal device determines that a PL-R of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell for the terminal device is maintained, in the event that the terminal device has a valid timing advance (TA) for transmitting on the PUCCH cell. The terminal device further performs a cell activation procedure for the PUCCH cell based on the determination that the PL-RS is maintained. As such, the PUCCH cell activation procedure can be performed with the assumption that the PL-RS of the PUCCH cell is maintained. In some embodiments, based on the determination that the PL-RS is maintained, the terminal device may skip unnecessary PL-RS measurement (s) during the cell activation procedure, thereby reducing the activation delay to transition from deactivated to activated status.

The capability value set index is associated with a sounding reference signal, SRS, resource set. The apparatus causes the terminal device to receive a second message defining a transmission configuration indication, TCI, state comprising a quasi co-location, QCL, -TypeD reference signal corresponding to the SSBRI or CRI or being quasi co-located in terms of QCL-TypeD with a reference signal corresponding to the SSBRI or CRI. The apparatus causes the terminal device to active or indicate the TCI state. If the SRS resource set is different from an active SRS resource set, the apparatus applies a pre-defined latency time between application and expected triggering of the SRS resource set.

Abstract

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to adjustment of contention window (CW) for listen before talk (LBT). A device determines a target size of a contention window for listen before talk at least in part based on at least one of a first metric and a second metric. The first metric indicates a level of intra-system activity of one of the plurality of systems. The second metric indicates a level of inter-system activity of the plurality of systems. The at least one of first and second metrics are determined by the device based on one or more messages in a set of resources shared by a plurality of systems. This solution enables the device to adjust the LBT by determining the target size of the contention window. By doing so, the device may determine an appropriate size of the contention window even when HARQ feedback is not available. In this way, a system may be able to coexist fairly with other systems in unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for a first device, comprising: receiving a first radio transmission from a third device; determining, based on the received first radio transmission, at least one radio resource expected to be used for communication by the third device; determining a first direction from which the first radio transmission from the third device is received at the first device; determining a radio resource set based on the determined at least one radio resource and the determined first direction; and selecting one or more radio resources from the determined radio resource set for communication with a second device or transmitting the determined radio resource set to the second device or a network entity.
