Techniques for Reducing Latency in a Wireless Home Theater Environment
20210279031 · 2021-09-09 ·

A first playback device can include a wireless network interface, an audio input interface, one or more processors, and data storage. The data storage stores instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the first playback device to determine a first radio frequency (RF) energy level associated with RF signal communications from a second playback device to the first playback device. The first playback device modifies a threshold RF energy level for holding off transmissions by the first playback device based on the first RF energy level. The first playback device receives multi-channel audio content via the audio input interface and detects an ambient RF energy level. Based on the ambient RF energy level and the threshold RF energy level, data that represents a channel of the multi-channel audio content is communicated by the first playback device to the second playback device for playback by the second playback device in synchrony with playback of one or more other channels of the multi-channel audio content by the first playback device.

Measurement Configuration and Report for Sidelink Open-Loop Power Control

Apparatus and methods are provided for sidelink measurement configuration and report for open-loop sidelink power control. In one embodiment, the SL measurement report configuration configures a first measurement report, and wherein the reference threshold is an absolute reference threshold. In another embodiment, the reference threshold is an SL measurement result in an SL measurement report previously sent to the transmitting UE. In some embodiments, the reporting condition is the L3 filtered SL RSRP measurement being the offset higher or lower than the reference threshold. In yet another embodiment, the reporting condition is an explicit request of measurement report from the transmitting UE. In one embodiment, the SL measurement report includes one or more elements comprising a Boolean indicator, a delta value between the L3 filtered SL RSRP measurement and the reference threshold, and an absolute value of the L3 filtered SL RSRP measurement.

20210266127 · 2021-08-26 ·

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an activation command for a pathloss reference signal (PLRS). The UE may estimate a pathloss using the PLRS based at least in part on an applicable time for the PLRS that indicates a time at which the PLRS is to be ready for use in estimating the pathloss. Numerous other aspects are provided.

ADAPTIVE SENSING BASED ON NUMBER OF RETRANSMISSIONS

An apparatus receives, in a transmission from a second UE, an indication of reserved resources for the second UE. The apparatus measures a received power of the transmission from the second UE. The apparatus excludes the reserved resources indicated by the second UE from a set of candidate resources based on the received power of the transmission from the second UE meeting a threshold, where the threshold is based at least in part on whether the reserved resources are associated with a retransmission.
