Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for performing wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that a prospective position of the wireless communication device is in a geographic area associated with a deficient global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal. In some cases, the wireless communications device can transmit a sidelink synchronization signal to at least one user equipment (UE) device that is located within the geographic area associated with the deficient GNSS signal.
Claims28
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- determining that a prospective position of a user equipment (UE) device is in a geographic area associated with a deficient synchronization source signal;
- transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal to at least one other UE device that is located within the geographic area associated with the deficient synchronization source signal;
- and
- discontinuing transmission of the sidelink synchronization signal in response to determining that the at least one other UE device has exited the geographic area.
A wireless communication device for wireless communications, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- determine that a prospective position of the wireless communication device is in a geographic area associated with a deficient synchronization source signal;
- transmit a sidelink synchronization signal to at least one user equipment (UE) device that is located within the geographic area associated with the deficient synchronization source signal;
- and
- discontinue transmission of the sidelink synchronization signal in response to determining that the at least one other UE device has exited the geographic area.
A method of wireless communications, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE) device, a request to associate with at least one other UE device to form a UE platoon;
- identifying the UE device as a sidelink synchronization source for the UE platoon based on a position of the UE device relative to the at least one other UE device;
- transmitting a first sidelink synchronization signal while at least a portion of the UE platoon is in a geographic area associated with a deficient synchronization source signal;
- and
- discontinuing transmission of the first sidelink synchronization signal in response to determining that the at least one other UE device has exited the geographic area.
