Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving user equipment (UE) may broadcast messages containing inter-UE cooperation (IUC) information using multiple beams. The IUC information transmitted on each beam may be different for each beam of the receiving UE. For example, each IUC information may contain different preferred resources or non-preferred resources for the receiving UE to receive a transmission from a transmitting UE. The transmitting UE may receive a message containing IUC information from one of the beams of the receiving UE and transmit a signal using resources based on the IUC information contained in the received message. In some examples, the transmitting UE may transmit a channel busy ratio (CBR) request to a receiving UE. The CBR request may specify a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, spatial relation, spatial domain filter, or beam according to which the receiving UE is to measure the CBR.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
transmit, on each beam of one or more beams supported by the first UE, a respective inter-UE coordination message, wherein the respective inter-UE coordination message for a beam of the one or more beams indicates a respective set of preferred resources for receiving, on that beam, sidelink control signaling associated with a random access procedure or a beam failure recovery procedure, and wherein the respective inter-UE coordination message comprises an inter-UE coordination request indicating to a second UE to provide one or more preferred resources of a second set of preferred resources for receiving a beam failure recovery response associated with the beam failure recovery procedure or a random access response associated with the random access procedure;
receive, on a first beam of the one or more beams, the sidelink control signaling from the second UE in accordance with the respective set of preferred resources indicated by the respective inter-UE coordination message for the first beam, wherein the sidelink control signaling comprises a beam failure recovery signal or a random access signal and further comprises an indication of the one or more preferred resources of the second set of preferred resources; and
establish or modify, based at least in part on the sidelink control signaling, a connection between the first UE and the second UE in accordance with the random access procedure or the beam failure recovery procedure, wherein, to establish or modify the connection, the one or more processors are operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
transmit, in response to the sidelink control signaling and in accordance with the one or more preferred resources of the second set of preferred resources, the beam failure recovery response associated with the beam failure recovery procedure or the random access response associated with the random access procedure.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive a request for the one or more respective inter-UE coordination messages, wherein transmitting the one or more respective inter-UE coordination messages is in response to the request.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from one or more UEs, sidelink control information indicating scheduling information for the one or more UEs, wherein the respective inter-UE coordination message for the first beam indicates an updated set of preferred resources for the first beam based at least in part on the scheduling information for the one or more UEs.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the respective inter-UE coordination message for the first beam is transmitted to the second UE on the first beam in accordance with a spatial filter and receiving the sidelink control signaling is in accordance with the spatial filter.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein to transmit the one or more respective inter-UE coordination messages, the one or more processors are operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
transmit, on each beam of the one or more beams supported by the first UE, synchronization information associated with the first UE, system information associated with the first UE, or both.

6 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
transmit, on a first beam of one or more beams supported by the first UE, an inter-UE coordination message indicating a channel busy ratio measurement and a set of preferred resources for receiving sidelink signaling on the first beam, wherein the inter-UE coordination message comprises an inter-UE coordination request indicating to a second UE to provide one or more preferred resources of a second set of preferred resources for receiving a beam failure recovery response associated with a beam failure recovery procedure or a random access response associated with a random access procedure;
receive, on the first beam, the sidelink signaling from the second UE in accordance with the set of preferred resources indicated for the first beam by the inter-UE coordination message, wherein the sidelink signaling comprises a beam failure recovery signal or a random access signal and further comprises an indication of the one or more preferred resources of the second set of preferred resources; and
transmit, in response to the sidelink signaling and in accordance with the one or more preferred resources of the second set of preferred resources, the random access response associated with the random access procedure or the beam failure recovery response associated with the beam failure recovery procedure.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the channel busy ratio measurement is associated with the one or more beams.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive a request for the channel busy ratio measurement, wherein transmitting the channel busy ratio measurement is based at least in part on the request.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the request for the channel busy ratio measurement indicates a transmission configuration indicator state for the one or more beams, a spatial relation for the one or more beams, a spatial domain filter for the one or more beams, the one or more beams, or any combination thereof.

10 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive a request for the inter-UE coordination message, wherein transmitting the channel busy ratio measurement is based at least in part on the request.

11 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive a data transmission based at least in part on one or more transmission parameters corresponding to the channel busy ratio measurement.

12 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
perform the channel busy ratio measurement based at least in part on the set of preferred resources.

13 . An apparatus for wireless communication a second user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
receive, on a beam, an inter-UE coordination message indicating a set of preferred resources for reception, on the beam, by a first UE of sidelink control signaling associated with a random access procedure or a beam failure recovery procedure, and wherein the inter-UE coordination message comprises an inter-UE coordination request indicating to the second UE to provide one or more preferred resources of a second set of preferred resources for receiving a beam failure recovery response associated with the beam failure recovery procedure or a random access response associated with the random access procedure;
