20200351857 | TWO-STAGE PHYSICAL SIDELINK CONTROL CHANNEL RESOURCE RESERVATION - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of resource candidates in a sidelink communication system based at least in part on a set of resource assignments for a group of other UEs in the sidelink communication system. The UE may transmit a first part of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission. The UE may transmit a second part of the PSCCH transmission related to the first part of the PSCCH transmission to indicate a resource candidate, of the set of resource candidates, for a transmission associated with medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) of a particular packet. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2020-11-05 |
20200351858 | CHANNEL-BANDWIDTH-ATTRIBUTED PER-BAND USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY REPORTING - Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for channel-bandwidth-attributed per-band user equipment capability reporting. A user equipment (UE) may determine a first and second set of physical layer capabilities associated with a first and second channel bandwidth, respectively. The UE may transmit a first and second UE capability report to the base station, where the capability reports may indicate the corresponding channel bandwidth and may include the UE physical layer capabilities. The UE may receive control information indicating a channel bandwidth from the base station and the UE may communicate with the base station according to the received control information. | 2020-11-05 |
20200351859 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FOR A SIDELINK - Wireless communications for a sidelink are described. A wireless devices and/or a base station may determine at least one resource and/or time period for communications via a sidelink. The base station and/or the wireless device may schedule sidelink communication, based on the determined resource(s) and/or time period(s), which may increase the likelihood of successful sidelink communications between wireless devices. | 2020-11-05 |
20200351860 | Beam Failure Recovery Method And Terminal - A beam failure recovery method and a terminal are provided. The method is applied to a media access control (MAC) layer of the terminal, and includes: processing a random access procedure in accordance with a preset processing manner, when obtaining a new candidate beam during the random access procedure of transmitting a beam failure recovery request. | 2020-11-05 |
20200351861 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus related to HARQ feedback, e.g. delayed HARQ ACK/NACK, and uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing, in unlicensed spectrum are described. A base station transmits an UCI request to a UE, including: a request for ACK/NACK feedback corresponding to a set of HARQ identified processes, a request for channel state information report, and/or a scheduling request. The UCI request includes information which is used, by the UE, in determining the time and air link resources on which to send the UCI. The HARQ processes are communicated in a first Channel Occupancy Time (COT), while the ACK/NACK feedback is communicated in a later COT. | 2020-11-05 |
20200351862 | Reed Muller Block Code for SPUCCH - According to an aspect, a wireless device is configured to transmit control data for transmission in a short physical uplink control channel, sPUCCH, that can carry only 24 coded bits. The wireless device codes 11 bits of the control data into 12 encoded bits using a 12-row Reed-Muller generator matrix having full rank and transmits the 12 encoded bits in the SPUCCH. According to another aspect, a wireless device is configured to transmit control data for transmission in an sPUCCH that can carry only 24 coded bits per resource block allocated to the sPUCCH transmission. The wireless device determines that there are 21 or 22 bits of control data to be encoded for transmission in the sPUCCH and allocates at least 2 resource blocks to the sPUCCH transmission. | 2020-11-05 |
