Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a resource grant for at least one sidelink channel, wherein the resource grant indicates an uplink resource for transmitting sidelink transmission acknowledgement messages. The UE may transmit, to the base station and on the uplink resource, an indication of at least one status associated with a listen-before-talk procedure used on the at least one sidelink channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Wireless communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may occur on unlicensed spectrum. When wirelessly communicating on unlicensed spectrum, there is an expectation that there may be interference from others devices also transmitting on the same resources in the unlicensed spectrum. Systems and methods are therefore disclosed that aim to facilitate wireless communication in unlicensed spectrum. In some embodiments, systems and method are disclosed that are directed to the transmission of uplink control information (UCI) in unlicensed spectrum. The UCI may be or include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The HARQ feedback may correspond to a downlink data transmission that was also sent on unlicensed spectrum.

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a channel state information (CSI) report including at least one information associated with a CSI resource setting; receiving, from the base station, information associated with channel occupancy duration; determining whether at least one symbol for receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) is within channel occupancy duration, based on the at least one information associated with the CSI resource setting and the received information associated with the channel occupancy duration; receiving, from the base station, at least one CSI-RS on the at least one symbol, based on a result of the determining; and when the CSI report is determined to be transmitted, transmitting; to the base station, the CSI report based on the configuration information associated with the CSI report and the received at least one CSI-RS.

Provided in the present disclosure are a spectrum management device and method, a geographic location database, a coexistence discovery device, and subsystems for use in a radio communication system comprising a main system and subsystems. The spectrum management device comprises: a processing circuit, which is configured to: acquire spectrum usage information and spectrum transition capability information of subsystems managed by the spectrum management device, the spectrum usage information corresponding to information related to used spectrums assigned to and used by each subsystem, the spectrum transition capability information corresponding to information related to whether the subsystems support a spectrum transition operation, and an transition of the spectrums of the subsystems managed by the spectrum management device is determined on the basis of the spectrum usage information and the spectrum transition capability information, thus the interference caused by the subsystems as a result of spectrum usage to the main system is limited within a permissible range of the main system. The spectrum management device and method, the geographic location database, the coexistence discovery device, and the subsystems of the present disclosure achieve highly efficient use of spectrum resources.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a gap period following a downlink portion of a time division duplexing (TDD) frame. The UE may selectively perform, based at least in part on the gap period, a clear channel assessment (CCA) on a channel of a radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may transmit at least one of a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble in a set of initial symbols of an uplink portion of the TDD frame following the gap period, wherein the SRS or PRACH preamble is frequency-domain multiplexed during the set of initial symbols with one or more of: a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), an uplink data transmission, an uplink control transmission, or a random access transmission.

A user equipment that includes a radio transceiver that performs wireless communication in an unlicensed band, and circuitry that performs RLM using downlink physical signals, measures a radio link quality, evaluates the radio link quality against thresholds Qout and Qin, indicates out-of-sync to higher layers from a physical layer, indicates in-sync to the higher layers from the physical layer, starts a first timer when the out-of-sync is consecutively indicated to the higher layers from the physical layer, and determines that a radio link failure occurs in a case where the first timer expires without consecutive in-sync indications, and the first timer is different from a second timer used to determine whether a radio link failure occurs in a wireless communication in one or more serving cells in a licensed band.

A transmission acknowledgment method, a terminal device, and a transmission node are provided. The transmission acknowledgment method is performed by a first terminal. The method includes: monitoring a first physical control channel based on monitoring configuration information of the first physical control channel; obtaining first control information transmitted by a transmission node on the first physical control channel, where the first control information includes RTS information for a plurality of target terminal devices, and the plurality of target terminal devices include the first terminal; and sending CTS information on a second physical control channel based on the RTS information.

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for automated identification of baseline data and changes in state in a wireless communications spectrum, by identifying sources of signal emission in the spectrum by automatically detecting signals, analyzing signals, comparing signal data to historical and reference data, creating corresponding signal profiles, and determining information about the baseline data and changes in state based upon the measured and analyzed data in near real time, which is stored on each apparatus or device and/or on a remote server computer that aggregates data from each apparatus or device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) with the capability to support a single active TCI state may receive configuration signaling which configures the UE with an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state corresponding to a first beam for a control resource set and a shared data channel. The UE may perform a random access channel procedure to select a second beam from a set of different beams. The UE may update a quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for the control resource set to correspond to the second beam and deactivate the active TCI state based on updating the QCL assumption. The UE may then monitor the control resource set, the shared data channel, or both, using the second beam. The UE may deactivate the TCI state and use the indicated downlink beam so that the UE does not exceed its capability.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter user equipment (UE) may detect an available bandwidth for transmission of a sidelink positioning reference signal. The transmitter UE may transmit the sidelink positioning reference signal in the available bandwidth, wherein a duration of the sidelink positioning reference signal is based at least in part on the available bandwidth. Numerous other aspects are described.
