ADAPTIVE COVERAGE OPTIMIZATION IN SINGLE-FREQUENCY NETWORKS (SFN)
A single-frequency network, SFN, system comprises: at least two independently controlled SFN transmitters; a network entity being arranged for computing optimized SFN transmission parameters specifically for each of the at least two SFN transmitters; and one or more field probes arranged in the SFN and connected to the network entity via a network communication channel. The one or more field probes are arranged for measuring, preferably continuously, an SFN reception of signals transmitted by the at least two independently controlled SFN transmitters, producing field measurement data, and supplying the field measurement data to the network entity. The network entity is arranged for automatically calculating, as a function of the supplied field measurement data, at least one type of SFN transmission parameter specifically optimized for each of the at least two independently controlled SFN transmitters, in order to optimize the SFN reception of the signals transmitted by the at least two independently controlled SFN transmitters, and supplying the transmitter-specifically optimized SFN transmission parameters to each of the at least two independently controlled SFN transmitters.
PARALLEL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNELS IN UPLINK CARRIER AGGREGATION
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink transmission via at least one of a primary cell, a secondary cell, or a combination thereof. The UE may identify a feedback indication for the downlink transmission. The UE may transmit a first feedback message that includes the feedback indication via the primary cell. The UE may transmit a second feedback message that also includes the feedback indication via the secondary cell.
CHANNEL ALLOCATION METHOD, GATEWAY, AND TERMINAL DEVICE
A channel allocation method includes: determining a second channel among idle channels in response to a communication request received from a terminal device over a first channel; and broadcasting a reservation message over the first channel, wherein the reservation message includes second channel information and a reserved communication period, the second channel information is information about the second channel, and the reserved communication period is a time period in which the terminal device is allowed to communicate with the gateway.
SIGNAL SENDING METHOD, PRIORITY CONFIGURATION METHOD, AND DEVICE
Disclosed are a signal sending method, a priority configuration method, and a device. The signal sending method includes: determining that S signals overlap in time domain; determining M signals in the S signals based on a maximum transmit power of a terminal device and priorities of the S signals, where the S signals include n sidelink signals and k uplink signals, n is a positive integer, k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, a total transmit power of the M signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power, and M is a positive integer; and sending the M signals. In embodiments of this application, a plurality of sidelink signals may be simultaneously sent, or a sidelink signal and an uplink signal may be simultaneously sent, thereby resolving a problem that currently a sidelink signal and an uplink signal cannot be simultaneously sent.
Transmit power control for physical random access channels
The invention relates to methods for adjusting the transmit power utilized by a mobile terminal for uplink transmissions, and to methods for adjusting the transmit power used by a mobile terminal for one or more RACH procedures. The invention is also providing apparatus and system for performing these methods, and computer readable media the instructions of which cause the apparatus and system to perform the methods described herein. In order to allow for adjusting the transmit power of uplink transmissions on uplink component carriers, the invention suggests introducing a power scaling for uplink PRACH transmissions performing RACH procedures on an uplink component carrier. The power scaling is proposed on the basis of a prioritization among multiple uplink transmissions or on the basis of the uplink component carriers on which RACH procedures are performed.
DATA TRANSMISSION IN SYNCHRONIZATION SLOTS
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for data transmission in synchronization slots. A method for use by a base station for data transmission in synchronization slots includes transmitting a synchronization signal (SS) burst, wherein different SS blocks of the burst are transmitted using different transmit beams and performing frequency division multiplexing (FDM) or time division multiplexing (TDM) to include one or more other types of signals that need to be multicast and are also transmitted using the different transmit beams
Vehicle To Vehicle Safety Messaging Congestion Control For Platooning Vehicles
Various embodiments include methods that may be implementing in a computing system within vehicles for supporting communicating proxy basic safety communications while operating within a platoon of vehicles to control congestion on frequencies used for basic safety communications. In various embodiments, while a vehicle is operating as a designated platoon vehicle, the computing system may generate a proxy basic safety communication including position and dimension information of the platoon as a whole, and broadcast the proxy basic safety communication on behalf of vehicles in the platoon. The proxy basic safety communication may include positions of certain vehicles within and dimensions of the platoon. While in a platoon but not operating as the designated platoon vehicle, the computing system may not broadcast basic safety communications or broadcast such communications at low power.

Time-division multiplexing for cellular dual connectivity
A cellular communication device is configured to use Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) for communicating with a cellular communication network using 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) radio access technologies. In NSA mode, the device may receive separate transmit power control commands for LTE and NR transmissions, respectively. In some situations, the cellular communication device may be commanded to use LTE and NR transmit powers that when combined would exceed regulatory limits or performance limits. In these situations, LTE and NR uplink transmissions are scheduled to implement time-division multiplexing, so that the LTE and NR uplink transmissions occur during different time intervals rather than concurrently.
PHYSICAL CHANNNEL STRUCTURES FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION
A method of sidelink transmission can include receiving a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) associated with a first two-stage sidelink control information (SCI) at a first user equipment (UE) from a second UE over a sidelink. The first two-stage SCI indicates a physical layer identity (L1-ID) of the second UE. The method can further include determining based on the L1-ID of the second UE a time-frequency resource for transmitting a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) carrying a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback corresponding to reception of the PSSCH, and transmitting the PSFCH with the determined time-frequency resource. In an embodiment, transmission of the PSSCH from the second UE is a groupcast transmission or a unicast transmission.
