Cross-reference to related applications

[0001] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 18 / 366,766, filed August 8, 2023, entitled “SELECTIVE ACTIVATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES,” which is assigned to the assignee of this application. The disclosure of the earlier application is considered part of this patent application and is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] All aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication, and specifically to techniques and apparatus for the selective activation of intelligent transportation system technologies. Background Technology

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services, such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices, such as user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with network nodes via downlink and uplink communication. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the network node to the UE, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device communication, such as via local links (e.g., sidelinks (SL), wireless local area network (WLAN) links, and / or wireless personal area network (WPAN) links, etc.).

[0005] The aforementioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at the city, country, region, and / or global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by: improving spectrum efficiency; reducing costs; improving service; utilizing new spectrum; and better integrating with other open standards by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (CP-OFDM), and CP-OFDM and / or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink; and supporting beamforming, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Vehicle-based user equipment (UEs) can communicate with each other and / or with wireless networks using Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies (sometimes referred to as road ITS technologies). Road ITS technologies are technologies that apply information and communication technologies to the road transport sector (including infrastructure, vehicles, and users) and interface with business management, mobility management, and other modes of transport. In some examples, UEs capable of supporting ITS technologies can operate in a high-frequency band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band) (sometimes referred to as the ITS band). More specifically, road ITS technologies can operate in a band including the spectrum from 5855 MHz to 5915 MHz, where the spectrum from 5855 MHz to 5875 MHz is dedicated to non-safety-related ITS services, and the spectrum from 5875 MHz to 5915 MHz is dedicated to safety-related ITS services.

[0028] In some examples, ITS spectrum regulation can be technology-neutral. For instance, European ITS spectrum regulation in the 5.9 GHz band can be technology-neutral because multiple competing ITS technologies can be used in the 5.9 GHz band, leading to interference, collisions, and other communication disruptions caused by competing technologies. For example, for vehicle-based UEs, some UEs can operate in the ITS band using 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) (5G-V2X) technology and / or LTE V2X (LTE-V2X) technology, which can be V2X technologies associated with the 3GPP and / or 5G and / or LTE communications, while other UEs can operate in the ITS band using ITS 5 GHz (ITS-G5) technology, which can be ITS technologies associated with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and / or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Simultaneous deployment of 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technologies and ITS-G5 technologies in spectrum dedicated to security-related ITS services (e.g., 5875MHz to 5915MHz) can lead to interference or conflicting communications, resulting in high error rates and consequently high power, computational, and network resource consumption for correcting these errors. Furthermore, the simultaneous deployment of multiple ITS technologies can pose security risks, such as high communication error rates, potentially leading to conflicts between vehicles attempting to communicate using 5G-V2X, LTE-V2X, and / or ITS-G5 technologies.

[0029] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein enable the selective activation of one or more ITS technologies, thereby reducing interference and / or communication conflicts, and otherwise resulting in improved ITS deployment. In some aspects, a UE (such as a vehicle-based UE) may be able to identify that the UE is within a distance threshold (e.g., a certain number of kilometers) of a region (e.g., a country) supporting a first intelligent ITS technology (such as ITS-G5). The UE may have the capability to support a second ITS technology (such as 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) different from the first ITS technology. Therefore, based at least in part on identifying the UE within a distance threshold of a region (e.g., a country using the 5.9 GHz band for ITS-G5 infrastructure), the UE may disable the second ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X). In this way, the UE's ITS communication can avoid interfering with the ITS communication of other UEs, thereby reducing communication errors and thus reducing the power, computation, and network resource consumption for correcting communication errors, and overall more efficient use of the ITS spectrum.

[0030] Various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods practiced using structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0031] Various devices and techniques will now be used to illustrate several aspects of a telecommunications system. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various boxes, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, or algorithms (collectively, “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the system as a whole.

[0032] Although terms generally associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) Radio Access Technology (RAT) may be used herein to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or 5G and later (e.g., 6G) RATs.

[0033] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., LTE) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d), one UE 120 or more UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other entities. Network node 110 is a network node that communicates with UE 120. As shown, network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, network node 110 can be an aggregated network node, meaning that an aggregated network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, network node 110 can be a decomposed network node (sometimes referred to as a decomposed base station), meaning that network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more nodes (such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0034] In some examples, network node 110 is or includes network nodes (such as RUs) that communicate with UE 120 via a radio access link. In some examples, network node 110 is or includes network nodes (such as DUs) that communicate with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul or midhaul link. In some examples, network node 110 is or includes network nodes (such as CUs) that communicate with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or with the core network via a backhaul link. In some examples, network node 110 (such as aggregated network node 110 or decomposed network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. Network node 110 may include, for example, NR base stations, LTE base stations, Node Bs, eNBs (e.g., in 4G), gNBs (e.g., in 5G), access points, Transmit / Receive Points (TRPs), DUs, RUs, CUs, network mobility elements, core network nodes, network elements, network equipment, RAN nodes, or combinations thereof. In some examples, network nodes 110 can interconnect with each other or to one or more other network nodes 110 in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of fronthaul, midhaul, and / or backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks).

[0035] In some examples, network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, depending on the context in which the term is used, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​network node 110 and / or the network node subsystem serving that coverage area. Network node 110 may provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., with a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A picocell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A femtocell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UE 120 associated with the femtocell (e.g., UE 120 in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). Network node 110 used for macrocells may be referred to as a macro network node. Network node 110 used for picocells may be referred to as a pico network node. The network node 110 used for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell network node or a home network node. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110a can be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b can be a pico network node for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c can be a femto network node for femto cell 102c. Network nodes can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cells may move depending on the location of the mobile network node 110 (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0036] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to an aggregated base station, a decomposed base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, "base station" or "network node" may refer to a CU, DU, RU, a near real-time (near RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC), or a non-real-time (non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a device configured to perform one or more functions (such as those described herein in conjunction with network node 110). In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of multiple different devices (which may be located in the same geographical location or different geographical locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to repeatedly perform at least a portion of that function, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of these different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions can be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one base station function rather than another. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0037] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive data transmissions from upstream nodes (e.g., network node 110 or UE 120) and transmit data to downstream nodes (e.g., UE 120 or network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UE 120s. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) can communicate with network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between network node 110a and UE 120d. The network node 110 for relay communication may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay network node, relay node, repeater, etc.

[0038] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network, comprising different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro network nodes may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 watts to 2 watts).

[0039] Network controller 130 may be coupled to or communicate with a group of network nodes 110, and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. Network controller 130 may communicate with network nodes 110 via a backhaul or midhaul link. Network nodes 110 may communicate directly with each other, or indirectly via a wireless or wired backhaul link. In some aspects, network controller 130 may be a CU or a core network device, or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0040] UE 120 may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, access terminals, terminals, mobile stations, and / or subscriber units. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, a UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0041] Some UEs 120 may be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with network nodes, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered customer premises equipment. UEs 120 may be housed within a housing containing components such as processor components and / or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0042] Generally, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency in a given geographical area can support a single RAT to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0043] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary device to communicate with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, V2X protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by network node 110.

[0044] Devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating frequency bands have been designated as frequency ranges FR1 (410MHz to 7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz to 52.6GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “sub-6GHz” band in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes occur with FR2, which is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, although this is different from the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) band (30GHz to 300GHz) designated as a “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0045] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as intermediate frequency (IF) bands. Recent 5G NR studies have designated the operating bands for these IF bands as the frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, thus effectively extending the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to IF band frequencies. Furthermore, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been designated as the frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz to 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz to 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0046] Considering the examples above, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "below 6 GHz" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies below 6 GHz, within FR1, or including intermediate frequency bands. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "millimeter wave" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies that can include intermediate frequency bands, within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, or FR4-1 and / or FR5, or within the EHF band. Modifications to frequencies included in these operating frequency bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) are contemplated, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0047] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may identify that the UE is within a distance threshold of an area supporting a first ITS technology, wherein the UE has the capability to support a second ITS technology different from the first ITS technology; and disable the second ITS technology at least in part based on identifying that the UE is within the distance threshold of the area. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may identify that the UE is outside the distance threshold of an area supporting the first ITS technology, wherein the UE has the capability to support a second ITS technology different from the first ITS technology; and enable the second ITS technology at least in part based on identifying that the UE is outside the distance threshold of the area. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0048] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0049] Figure 2This is a diagram illustrating example 200 of communication between network node 110 and UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as... T One antenna ( T ≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R One antenna ( R ≥1). Network node 110 of Example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antenna 234 and modem 232. In some examples, network node 110 may include an interface, communication components, or another component that facilitates communication with UE 120 or another network node. Some network node 110 may not include radio frequency components that facilitate direct communication with UE 120, such as one or more CUs or one or more DUs.

[0050] At network node 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 intended for use by UE 120 (or a group of UEs 120). Transmitting processor 220 can select one or more modulation and decoding schemes (MCS) for UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Network node 110 can process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS selected for UE 120 and can provide data symbols for UE 120. Transmitting processor 220 can process system information (e.g., semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitting processor 220 can generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., pre-decoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols where applicable, and can transmit a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T Each output symbol stream is provided to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., ...). TEach modem 232a to 232t may be used to process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (MOD) of modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a corresponding modulator component to process the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may also use a corresponding modulator component to process the output sample stream (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t may be used via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T Each antenna (shown as antennas 234a to 234t) is used to transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., ...). T (One downlink signal).

[0051] At UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) can receive downlink signals from network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110 and can transmit a set of received signals (e.g., R The received signals are provided to a group of modems 254 (e.g., R Each modem 254 (shown as modems 254a to 254r) may receive a signal. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 may obtain the received symbols from modem 254, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and provide the detected symbols. Receiver processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide the decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide the decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0052] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, for example, in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with network node 110 via communication unit 294.

[0053] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc., or may be included within one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements and / or coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...). Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components in a )

[0054] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 can generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 can be pre-decoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, where applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of UE 120 may include a modulator and demodulator. In some examples, UE 120 includes a transceiver. This transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to execute this document (e.g., reference). Figures 6 to 9 ( ) any aspect of the methods described in the method.

[0055] At network node 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., demodulator component of modem 232 (shown as DEMOD)), detected by MIMO detector 236, and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 may provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Network node 110 may include communication unit 244 and may communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Network node 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of network node 110 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, network node 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to execute this document (e.g., reference). Figures 6 to 9 ( ) any aspect of the methods described in the method.

[0056] The controller / processor 240 of network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform one or more technologies associated with the selective activation of ITS technology, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component that can execute or direct, for example Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8 The operation of process 800 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program code for network node 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, these one or more instructions may cause one or more processors, UE 120 and / or network node 110 to perform or direct, for example, when executed by one or more processors of network node 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, transformation and / or interpretation). Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8The operation of process 800 and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, the execution instructions may include run instructions, transformation instructions, compilation instructions, and / or interpretation instructions, etc.

[0057] In some aspects, UE 120 includes: components for identifying that UE 120 is within a distance threshold of an area supporting a first ITS technology, wherein the UE has the capability to support a second ITS technology different from the first ITS technology; and / or components for disabling the second ITS technology at least in part based on identifying that UE 120 is within the distance threshold of the area. In some other aspects, UE 120 includes: components for identifying that UE 120 is outside a distance threshold of an area supporting the first ITS technology, wherein the UE 120 has the capability to support a second ITS technology different from the first ITS technology; and / or components for enabling the second ITS technology at least in part based on identifying that UE 120 is outside the distance threshold of the area. Components for UE 120 to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a communication manager 140, an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, a TX MIMO processor 266, a controller / processor 280, or a memory 282.

[0058] In some respects, a single processor can perform all the functions described as being performed by that one or more processors. In other respects, the one or more processors can jointly perform a set of functions. For example, a first group(s) of the one or more processors can perform a first function described as being performed by that one or more processors, and a second group(s) of the one or more processors can perform a second function described as being performed by that one or more processors. The first group and the second group of processors can be the same group of processors or can be different groups of processors. The reference to "one or more processors" should be understood as referring to a combination of functions. Figure 2 Any one or more processors described. The reference to "one or more memories" should be understood to refer to any one or more memories of the corresponding device, such as those in conjunction with... Figure 2 The memory described. For example, a function described as being performed by one or more memories can be performed by the same subset of the one or more memories or by different subsets of the one or more memories.

[0059] Although Figure 2The boxes in the diagram are illustrated as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0060] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 2 The examples described are different.

[0061] Communication systems (such as 5G NR systems) can be deployed in various ways with a variety of components or parts. In a 5G NR system or network, network nodes, network entities, network mobility elements, RAN nodes, core network nodes, network elements, base stations, or network equipment can be implemented in either a converged or decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a Node B (NB), evolved NB (eNB), NR base station, 5G NB, access point (AP), TRP, or cell, etc.) or one or more units (or components) performing base station functionality can be implemented as a converged base station (also known as a standalone base station or monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station. A "network entity" or "network node" can refer to a decomposed base station or one or more units of a decomposed base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or combinations thereof).

[0062] Aggregated base stations (e.g., aggregated network nodes) can be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or cell). Decomposed base stations (e.g., decomposed network nodes) can be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed across two or more cells (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, the CU may be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed across one or more other network nodes. DUs may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU may also be implemented as a virtual cell, such as a Virtual Central Unit (VCU), a Virtual Distributed Unit (VDU), or a Virtual Radio Unit (VRU), etc.

[0063] Base station type operation or network design can take into account the aggregation characteristics of base station functionality. For example, decomposed base stations can be utilized in IAB networks, Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN (such as network configurations initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or Virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN, also known as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN)) to facilitate the scaling of communication systems by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed independently. Decomposed base stations can include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality virtually implemented for at least one unit, which enables flexibility in network design. Each unit of a decomposed base station can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the decomposed base station.

[0064] Figure 3 This is an illustration of an example disaggregated base station architecture 300 according to this disclosure. The disaggregated base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310 that can communicate directly with the core network 320 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 320 via one or more disaggregated control units (such as a near-RT RIC 325 via an E2 link, or a non-RT RIC 315 associated with a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) framework 305, or both). The CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via a corresponding midhaul link (such as via an F1 interface). Each DU 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding fronthaul link. Each RU 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via a corresponding radio frequency (RF) access link. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RUs 340.

[0065] Each of these units (including CU 310, DU 330, RU 340) and the near-RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO frame 305 may include or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively, signals) via wired or wireless transmission media. Each of these units, or an associated processor or controller providing instructions to one or more communication interfaces of the respective unit, may be configured to communicate with one or more units in other units via transmission media. In some examples, each unit may include a wired interface and a wireless interface configured to receive signals via a wired transmission media or transmit signals to one or more units in other units, and the wireless interface may include a receiver, transmitter, or transceiver (such as an RF transceiver) configured to receive signals via a wireless transmission media or transmit signals to one or more units in other units, or both.

[0066] In some aspects, the CU 310 can host one or more higher-level control functions. Such control functions may include Radio Resource Control (RRC) functions, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) functions, or Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) functions, etc. Each control function can be implemented using an interface configured to signal to other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 can be configured to handle user plane functions (e.g., Central Unit-User Plane (CU-UP) functions), control plane functions (e.g., Central Unit-Control Plane (CU-CP) functions), or combinations thereof. In some implementations, the CU 310 can be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. When implemented in an O-RAN configuration, the CU-UP units can communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP units via an interface such as an E1 interface. The CU 310 can be implemented to communicate with the DU 330 for network control and signaling purposes, as needed.

[0067] Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit comprising one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RU 340s. In some aspects, the DU 330 may, at least in part, host one or more of the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers, depending on functional splits (such as those defined by 3GPP). In some aspects, the one or more high PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and modulation and demodulation, etc. In some aspects, the DU 330 may also host one or more low PHY layers, such as those implemented by one or more modules for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse FFT (iFFT), Digital Beamforming, or Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, etc. Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) may be implemented using an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330 or with control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0068] Each RU 340 can implement lower-layer functionality. In some deployments, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 can correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions or low-PHY layer functions, such as performing FFT, performing iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, based on function splitting (e.g., function splitting defined by 3GPP) (such as lower-layer function splitting). In such architectures, each RU 340 can be operated to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UE 120s. In some specific implementations, the real-time and non-real-time aspects of control plane and user plane communications with the RU 340 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration allows each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0069] The SMO framework 305 can be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of both non-virtualized and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 can be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which can be managed via operation and maintenance interfaces such as the O1 interface. For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 can be configured to interact with cloud computing platforms such as the Open Cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390 to perform network element lifecycle management (such as instantiating virtualized network elements) via cloud computing platform interfaces such as the O2 interface. Such virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 315, and near-RT RIC 325. In some specific implementations, the SMO framework 305 may communicate with the hardware aspects of the 4G RAN, such as the Open eNB (O-eNB) 311, via the O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate directly with each of one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding O1 interface. The SMO framework 305 may also include a non-RT RIC 315 configured to support the functionality of the SMO framework 305.

[0070] The non-RT RIC 315 can be configured to include logical functions that enable non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, including artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) workflows for model training and updates, or policy-based guidance for applications / features in the near-RT RIC 325. The non-RT RIC 315 can be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 325, such as via an A1 interface. The near-RT RIC 325 can be configured to include logical functions that enable near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via an interface, such as an E2 interface, through data collection and actions, connecting one or more CU 310s, one or more DU 330s, or both, and O-eNBs to the near-RT RIC 325.

[0071] In some implementations, to generate AI / ML models to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 325, the non-RT RIC 315 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. This information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 325 and may be received from non-network data sources or network functions at the SMO framework 305 or the non-RT RIC 315. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 315 or near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 315 may monitor long-term trends and patterns in performance and employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions via the SMO framework 305 (such as reconfiguration via the O1 interface) or via the creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 interface policies).

[0072] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 3 The examples described are different.

[0073] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 of sidelink communication according to this disclosure.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, the first UE 405-1 can communicate with the second UE 405-2 (and one or more other UEs 405) via one or more sidelink channels 410. UE 405-1 and UE 405-2 can communicate using one or more sidelink channels 410 for P2P communication, D2D communication, V2X communication (e.g., which may include V2V communication, V2I communication, and / or V2P communication), and / or mesh networking. In some aspects, UE 405 (e.g., UE 405-1 and / or UE 405-2) may correspond to one or more other UEs described elsewhere herein, such as UE 120. In some aspects, one or more sidelink channels 410 may use a PC5 interface and / or operate in a high-frequency band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band). Additionally or alternatively, UE 405 may use Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) timing to synchronize the timing of transmission time intervals (TTIs) (e.g., frames, subframes, time slots, or symbols).

[0075] like Figure 4As further shown, one or more sidelink channels 410 may include a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) 415, a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) 420, and / or a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) 425. PSCCH 415 can be used to convey control information, similar to a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and / or a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) for cellular communication with network node 110 via an access link or access channel. PSSCH 420 can be used to convey data, similar to a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and / or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for cellular communication with network node 110 via an access link or access channel. For example, PSCCH 415 may carry Sidelink Control Information (SCI) 430, which may indicate various control information for sidelink communication, such as one or more resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, and / or spatial resources), wherein a Transport Block (TB) 435 may be carried on PSSCH 420. TB 435 may include data. PSFCH 425 may be used to convey sidelink feedback 440, such as Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback (e.g., Acknowledgment or Negative Acknowledgment (ACK / NACK) information), Transmit Power Control (TPC), and / or Schedule Request (SR).

[0076] Although shown on PSCCH 415, SCI 430 may include multiple communications at different levels (such as Level 1 SCI (SCI-1) and Level 2 SCI (SCI-2)) in some respects. SCI-1 may be transmitted on PSCCH 415. SCI-2 may be transmitted on PSSCH 420. SCI-1 may include, for example, indications of one or more resources on PSSCH 420 (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, and / or spatial resources), information for decoding sidelink communications on PSSCH, Quality of Service (QoS) priority values, resource reservation periods, PSSCH DMRS modes, SCI formats for SCI-2, β offsets for SCI-2, the number of PSSCH DMRS ports, and / or MCS. SCI-2 may include information associated with data transmission on PSSCH 420, such as HARQ procedure ID, New Data Indicator (NDI), source identifier, destination identifier, and / or Channel State Information (CSI) report triggering.

[0077] In some aspects, one or more sidelink channels 410 may use resource pools. For example, scheduling assignments (e.g., included in SCI 430) may be transmitted across time using specific resource blocks (RBs) in a subchannel. In some aspects, data transmissions associated with scheduling assignments (e.g., on PSSCH 420) may (e.g., using frequency division multiplexing) occupy adjacent RBs in the same subframe as the scheduling assignment. In some aspects, scheduling assignments and associated data transmissions are not transmitted on adjacent RBs.

[0078] In some aspects, UE 405 may operate using a sidelink transmit mode (e.g., mode 1), where resource selection and / or scheduling is performed by network node 110 (e.g., a base station, CU, or DU). For example, UE 405 may receive permission (e.g., in downlink control information (DCI) or in RRC messages, such as permission for configuration) from network node 110 for sidelink channel access and / or scheduling (e.g., directly or via one or more network nodes). In some aspects, UE 405 may operate using a transmit mode (e.g., mode 2), where resource selection and / or scheduling is performed by UE 405 (e.g., not by network node 110). In some aspects, UE 405 may perform resource selection and / or scheduling by sensing channel availability for transmission. For example, UE 405 can measure RSSI parameters (e.g., sidelink-RSSI (S-RSSI) parameters) associated with various sidelink channels, RSRP parameters (e.g., PSSCH-RSRP parameters) associated with various sidelink channels, and / or RSRQ parameters (e.g., PSSCH-RSRQ parameters) associated with various sidelink channels, and can select the channel for transmitting sidelink communication based at least in part on the measurements.

[0079] Alternatively or additionally, UE 405 may use SCI 430 received in PSCCH 415 to perform resource selection and / or scheduling, which may indicate the occupied resources and / or channel parameters. Alternatively or additionally, UE 405 may perform resource selection and / or scheduling by determining the Channel Busy Ratio (CBR) associated with various sidelink channels, which may be used for rate control (e.g., by indicating the maximum number of resource blocks that UE 405 may use for a specific set of subframes).

[0080] In a transmission mode where resource selection and / or scheduling is performed by UE 405, UE 405 may generate a sidelink grant, which may be transmitted in SCI 430. The sidelink grant may indicate one or more parameters (e.g., transmission parameters) to be used for an upcoming sidelink transmission, such as one or more resource blocks (e.g., for TB 435) to be used for an upcoming sidelink transmission on PSSCH 420, one or more subframes to be used for an upcoming sidelink transmission, and / or the MCS to be used for an upcoming sidelink transmission. In some aspects, UE 405 may generate a sidelink grant indicating one or more parameters for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), such as the periodicity of the sidelink transmission. Additionally or alternatively, UE 405 may generate a sidelink grant for event-driven scheduling (such as for on-demand sidelink messages).

[0081] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0082] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating example 500 of sidelink communication and access link communication according to this disclosure.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, the transmitter (Tx) / receiver (Rx) UE 505 and the Rx / Tx UE 510 can communicate with each other via a side link, as described above. Figure 4 As described. Further, in some sidelink modes, network node 110 may communicate with Tx / Rx UE 505, such as via a first access link (e.g., directly or via one or more network nodes). Additionally or alternatively, in some sidelink modes, network node 110 may communicate with Rx / Tx UE 510, such as via a first access link (e.g., directly or via one or more network nodes). Tx / Rx UE 505 and / or Rx / Tx UE 510 may correspond to one or more UEs described elsewhere herein, such as... Figure 1 UE 120. Therefore, the direct link between UEs 120 (e.g., via the PC5 interface) can be referred to as a side link, and the direct link between network node 110 and UE 120 (e.g., via the Uu interface) can be referred to as an access link. Side link communication can be sent via the side link, and access link communication can be sent via the access link. Access link communication can be downlink communication (from network node 110 to UE 120) or uplink communication (from UE 120 to network node 110).

[0084] In some examples, such as in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one example of a UE associated with a vehicle, the UE can communicate via sidelinks and / or access links using ITS technologies (such as road ITS technologies). "ITS technology" (e.g., road ITS technology) refers to wireless communication technologies or similar technologies that apply information and communication technologies to the road transport sector (including infrastructure, vehicles, and users) and to business management, mobility management, and interfaces with other modes of transport. In some examples, a UE capable of supporting ITS technologies can operate in a high-frequency band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band). For example, the high-frequency band can be an ITS band (e.g., as defined by wireless communication standards such as 3GPP, ETSI, and / or IEEE, or otherwise fixed). More specifically, road ITS technology (e.g., ITS technology associated with vehicles on roads, as opposed to rail ITS technology, which can be ITS technology associated with rail vehicles) can operate in a frequency band including the spectrum from 5855MHz to 5915MHz, wherein the spectrum from 5855MHz to 5875MHz is dedicated to non-safety-related ITS services, and the spectrum from 5875MHz to 5915MHz is dedicated to safety-related ITS services.

[0085] In some examples, ITS spectrum regulation can be technology-neutral. For instance, European ITS spectrum regulation in the 5.9 GHz band can be technology-neutral, leading to adjacent UEs simultaneously utilizing multiple ITS technologies in the same band, resulting in interference, collisions, and other communication disruptions. For example, some UEs may operate in the ITS band using 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technologies, which can be V2X technologies associated with 3GPP and / or 5G and / or LTE communications, while other UEs may operate in the ITS band using ITS-G5 technologies, which can be ITS technologies associated with ETSI and / or IEEE. Simultaneous deployment of 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technologies and ITS-G5 technologies in spectrum dedicated to security-related ITS services (e.g., 5875 MHz to 5915 MHz) can lead to interference or collisions in communications, resulting in high error rates and consequently high power, computational, and network resource consumption for correcting communication errors.

[0086] While some attempts have been made to segment the ITS band to allow for the coexistence of various ITS technologies, this may result in insufficient spectrum for some technologies. For example, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has proposed reserving adjacent channels in the 5.9 GHz band for 5G-V2X and ITS-G5 communications, such as reserving spectrum from 5875 MHz to 5895 MHz for 5G-V2X and from 5895 MHz to 5905 MHz for ITS-G5. However, this may not be feasible for some technologies and / or countries. For example, Austria has instructed that Austrian plans combine its cooperative road (C-Roads) infrastructure with all 40MHz of secure channels (e.g., spectrum from 5875MHz to 5915MHz) for ITS-G5 technology, and therefore 5G-V2X operation on 20MHz channels from 5875MHz to 5895MHz could interfere with certain ITS-G5 functionalities (e.g., cooperative sensing functions and / or autonomous driving support functions), resulting in conflicting communications and other unreliable ITS services.

[0087] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein enable the selective activation of one or more ITS technologies, thereby reducing interference and / or collisions, and otherwise producing improved ITS communication. In some aspects, the UE (such as a vehicle-based UE) may include devices and / or components capable of obtaining location information, such as those described above. Figure 2 The UE 120 describes one or more of the devices and / or components. Based at least in part on location information, the UE may be able to identify itself within a distance threshold (e.g., a certain number of kilometers) of an area supporting a first intelligent ITS technology (such as ITS-G5). The UE may have the capability to support a second ITS technology (such as 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) different from the first ITS technology. Therefore, based at least in part on identifying the UE within a distance threshold of an area (e.g., a country that uses the 5.9 GHz band for ITS-G5 infrastructure), the UE may disable the second ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X). In this way, the UE can avoid interfering with the first ITS technology, thereby reducing communication errors and thus reducing the power, computation, and network resource consumption for correcting communication errors, as well as using the ITS spectrum more efficiently overall.

[0088] As indicated above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 5 The examples described are different.

[0089] Figure 6This is a diagram illustrating example 600 associated with selective activation of ITS technology according to this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 6 As shown, network device 605 (e.g., network node 110, CU, DU, RU, roadside unit (RSU), UE 120, or similar network device) can communicate with UE 610 (e.g., UE 120). In some other aspects, UE 610 may not necessarily be in communication with network device 605, such as when UE 610 is pre-configured with certain ITS information and / or determines whether to enable and / or disable ITS technologies based at least in part on UE 610's geolocation capabilities (e.g., UE 610's GNSS capabilities), which is described in more detail below. In some aspects, network device 605 and UE 610 can be part of a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). Network device 605 and UE 610 can... Figure 6 The operation shown has been performed with a wireless connection already established. In some respects, UE 610 may be associated with a vehicle (e.g., UE 610 may be a vehicle-based UE) and / or may have the capability to support ITS technologies (such as road ITS technologies). For example, UE 610 may have the capability to support 5G-V2X technology, LTE-V2X technology, ITS-G5 technology and / or similar ITS technologies.

[0090] As indicated by reference numeral 615 in the accompanying drawings, network device 605 may send ITS technology support information, and UE 610 may receive such ITS technology support information. In some aspects, UE 610 may receive the ITS technology support information via one or more of the following: RRC signaling, one or more MAC control elements (MAC-CE), and / or DCI, etc. In some aspects, the ITS technology support information may include indications of one or more configuration parameters for UE 610 to select (e.g., those already known to UE 610 and / or previously indicated by network device 605 or other network devices), and / or explicit configuration information for UE 610 to use to configure UE 610, etc.

[0091] In some respects, supporting ITS technology information can indicate the support for ITS technologies for one or more regions (e.g., one or more geographical locations, such as one or more countries). For example, supporting ITS technology information can indicate that a first region (e.g., a first country) supports a first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5 and / or ITS technologies associated with IEEE) in an ITS band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band), a second region (e.g., a second country) supports a second ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X and / or ITS technologies associated with 3GPP) in an ITS band, a third region (e.g., a third country) supports both the first and second ITS technologies (e.g., ITS-G5 and / or ITS technologies associated with IEEE, and 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X and / or ITS technologies associated with 3GPP) in an ITS band, and so on. UE 610 may store information supporting ITS technologies, such as for determining the supporting ITS technology for a given area when UE 610 approaches a given area, as described in more detail below. In other words, in some respects, information supporting ITS technologies may be received by and stored at UE 610 such that when UE 610 approaches a given area (e.g., a country) associated with one or more ITS technologies (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technology or ITS-G5 technology), information about the supporting ITS technologies is pre-stored at UE 610 and therefore accessible at UE 610.

[0092] Additionally or alternatively, UE 610 may periodically retrieve supporting ITS technology information, such as from an updatable database. In this regard, the updatable database may be periodically updated to include the latest information on supporting ITS technologies in various regions, and UE 610 may periodically access the updated information, such as via a wireless communication network, to update and / or supplement the supporting ITS technology information pre-stored at UE 610. For example, the updatable database may be periodically updated to indicate certain ITS bands associated with a given region, and / or to indicate the supporting ITS technologies within each ITS band associated with a given region.

[0093] In some respects, UE 610 can be configured to selectively enable or disable one or more ITS technologies, such as to avoid conflicts with other ITS technologies. In other words, to avoid or minimize the risk of interference between conflicting ITS technologies, UE 610 (e.g., a vehicle equipped to transmit 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) may disable ITS technologies (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X transmission) when approaching an area (e.g., a country) where different ITS infrastructures (e.g., ITS-G5) are deployed in channels allocated to the ITS technologies associated with UE 610, as described in more detail below in conjunction with reference numeral 630.

[0094] Additionally or alternatively, UE 610 may be configured to receive an indication that UE 610 is approaching an area associated with a specific ITS technology, such that UE 610 may accordingly disable and / or enable different ITS technologies. In this regard, as indicated by reference numeral 620, in some aspects, network device 605 may send an indication that UE 610 is within a distance threshold (e.g., a certain number of kilometers, etc.) of an area supporting a first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5, 5G-V2X, LTE-V2X, and / or a similar ITS technology), and UE 610 may receive this indication.

[0095] In some aspects, UE 610 may receive indications that it is within a distance threshold in an area via a cellular network (e.g., via UE 610's cellular connectivity capabilities). In such aspects, network device 605 may be associated with network node 110 (e.g., DU, RU, and / or CU) and / or may receive indications via RRC communication, MAC-CE communication, DCI communication, or similar communication. In some other aspects, UE 610 may receive indications that it is within a distance threshold in an area via a device associated with the ITS infrastructure (such as an RSU), and / or UE 610 may receive indications via a sidelink (e.g., in some aspects, network device 605 may be an RSU and / or associated with an RSU). For example, a region could be a country that supports a first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5 and / or ITS technologies associated with IEEE) in a certain frequency band but does not support other ITS technologies (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X and / or ITS technologies associated with 3GPP) in that frequency band, and the distance threshold could be kilometers from the border of that country. In such respect, the RSU can be deployed near the distance threshold from the national border, and / or the RSU can be configured to send a message to approaching vehicles indicating that the vehicles are approaching a country that only supports the first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5). Therefore, the UE 610 can disable ITS technologies that may conflict with or contradict the first ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X), which is described in more detail below in conjunction with reference numeral 630.

[0096] As indicated by reference numeral 625, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is within a distance threshold of an area supporting the first ITS technology. For example, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is within kilometers of the border of a country supporting the first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5) in an ITS band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band, the safety-related road ITS band from 5875 MHz to 5915 MHz, a portion thereof, etc.). In some aspects, such as where UE 610 receives the indication described above in conjunction with reference numeral 620, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is within a distance threshold of an area based at least in part on the indication. Additionally or alternatively, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is within a distance threshold of an area based at least in part on the use of UE 610's geolocation capabilities (e.g., the use of UE 610's GNSS capabilities, etc.). For example, in the aspect where supporting ITS technology information is pre-stored at UE 610, UE 610 can identify from the ground (e.g., in the absence of signaling from network device 605) that UE 610 is within a distance threshold of an area supporting a specific ITS technology by referring to the pre-stored supporting ITS technology information and comparing that information with the current location of UE 610 determined using the geolocation capabilities of UE 610.

[0097] In some respects, in conjunction with the operations described above in conjunction with reference numeral 625, UE 610 may determine the ITS band associated with the first ITS technology. For example, based at least in part on signaling received via the operations described above in conjunction with reference numeral 620, ITS technology support information pre-stored at UE 610, and / or similar information, UE 610 may identify that the area (e.g., a country) that UE 610 is approaching supports the first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5) in the first frequency band (e.g., the first ITS band, such as the 5.9 GHz band and / or a portion thereof).

[0098] As indicated by reference numeral 630 in the attached figure, UE 610 may disable a second ITS technology, at least in part, based on identifying that the UE is within a distance threshold of the area. More specifically, UE 610 may have the capability to support a second ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) that is different from the first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5) supported in the area. Therefore, to avoid conflicts with the first ITS technology infrastructure and other conflicts, UE 610 may disable the second ITS technology when UE 610 approaches the area. For example, when the area is a country that supports ITS-G5 infrastructure and UE 610 is associated with a vehicle that supports 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X communications, UE 610 may disable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technologies when approaching that country (e.g., when UE 610 is within kilometers of the country's border) to avoid ITS-G5 infrastructure disruption.

[0099] In some respects, UE 610 can disable conflicting ITS technologies only in ITS frequency bands actually used in the region. For example, vehicles supporting 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X can simply shut down transmissions in channels occupied by ITS-G5, while optionally using any channels dedicated to ITS-G5 but not used in the country for 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X. Regarding this, where UE 610 identifies the deployment of a first ITS technology in a first frequency band in the region, UE 610 can disable a second ITS technology in the first frequency band, but can enable the second ITS technology in a second frequency band different from and / or not conflicting with the first frequency band. For example, if UE 610 identifies that UE 610 is approaching a country that uses ITS-G5 infrastructure in the first ITS band, UE 610 may disable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X communications in the first ITS band, but otherwise enable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X communications in one or more other non-conflicting ITS bands.

[0100] Additionally or alternatively, if UE 610 also has the capability to support a first ITS technology, then UE 610 may enable the first ITS technology in addition to disabling the second ITS technology. For example, a vehicle supporting a combination of 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X and ITS-G5 may disable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X transmissions on channels occupied by ITS-G5 and may use those channels for ITS-G5 transmissions and receptions. In this regard, for UE 610 supporting both 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X communication and ITS-G5 communication, if UE 610 identifies that it is approaching a country employing ITS-G5 infrastructure in the first ITS band, then UE 610 may disable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X communication in the first ITS band and may enable ITS-G5 communication in the first ITS band.

[0101] In some respects, UE 610 can warn users when one or more ITS technologies are disabled. For example, when UE 610 is a vehicle-based UE, UE 610 can warn the driver of the vehicle that one or more ITS technologies have been disabled. Returning to the example above where UE 610 is approaching the border of a country supporting ITS-G5, if UE 610 disables 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X capabilities as it approaches that country, UE 610 can (e.g., to the driver of the vehicle associated with UE 610) send an indication that 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X technologies have been disabled.

[0102] Additionally or alternatively, in some aspects, a region (e.g., a country) may mandate certain channel access technologies in certain frequency bands (e.g., ITS bands). For example, a country may mandate that a UE use a Listen-Before-Speak (LBT) channel access technology in an ITS band, such as to reduce ITS-based collisions in the band. In such aspects, a device that does not support LBT may disable the ITS technology when approaching a country that mandates LBT support. On the other hand, a device that supports a mandatory channel access technology (e.g., LBT) may be allowed to use the channel because the LBT process may lead to collision avoidance. In other words, in some aspects, in conjunction with the operations described above in conjunction with reference to reference numeral 625, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is within a distance threshold of a region that supports an ITS technology associated with the channel access technology (e.g., one of 5G-V2X, LTE-V2X, and / or ITS-G5 associated with the LBT process). In this respect, if UE 610 is associated with an ITS technology that does not support channel access technology (e.g., one of 5G-V2X, LTE-V2X and / or ITS-G5, but does not support LBT procedures), UE 610 may disable the ITS technology in a manner similar to that described above in conjunction with reference to figure 630 in order to avoid conflicting transmissions in the ITS band.

[0103] In some respects, when leaving an area (e.g., a country), UE 610 may enable previously disabled ITS technologies, such as ITS technologies that were disabled to avoid conflicts within the area as described above. For example, as indicated by reference numeral 635, network device 605 may send an indication that UE 610 is outside a distance threshold in an area supporting a first ITS technology, and UE 610 may receive such an indication. For example, in a similar manner to that described above in conjunction with reference numeral 620, UE 610 may receive the indication that UE 610 is outside a distance threshold via a cellular network, via an RSU, and / or via similar signaling.

[0104] Furthermore, as indicated by reference numeral 640, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is outside a distance threshold in an area supporting the first ITS technology. For example, in an aspect where UE 610 receives signaling described above in conjunction with 635, UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is outside a distance threshold in an area supporting the first ITS technology based at least in part on the received signaling. Additionally or alternatively, in an aspect where UE 610 has pre-stored ITS technology supporting information (such as the ITS technology supporting information described above in conjunction with reference numeral 615), UE 610 may identify that UE 610 is outside a distance threshold in an area supporting the first ITS technology based at least in part on UE 610's geolocation capabilities (such as UE 610's GNSS functionality).

[0105] As indicated by reference numeral 645, UE 610 may enable a second ITS technology, at least in part, based on identifying UE 610 outside a distance threshold in the region. For example, when leaving a country supporting ITS-G5, UE 610 may enable 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X or similar ITS technologies while traveling a certain distance away from the border. Furthermore, as described above in conjunction with reference numerals 625 and 630, disabling certain ITS technologies may include disabling ITS technologies only in conflicting frequency bands. Therefore, in such respects, enabling a second ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) may include enabling the second ITS technology in conflicting frequency bands. In other words, where UE 610 identifies an area (e.g., a country) that supports a first ITS technology (e.g., ITS-G5) in a first frequency band (e.g., a first ITS band, such as part or all of a security-related ITS band from 5875MHz to 5915MHz), UE 610 may enable another ITS technology (e.g., 5G-V2X and / or LTE-V2X) in that frequency band, at least in part, based on the determination that UE 610 has traveled a sufficient distance away from the area to minimize or eliminate the risk of conflicting ITS communications.

[0106] By selectively activating one or more ITS technologies as described above, at least in part, UE 610 and / or other network devices can save computing, power, network, and / or communication resources that might otherwise be consumed due to conflicting ITS technologies. For example, by selectively activating one or more ITS technologies as described above, at least in part, UE 610 and / or other network devices can employ ITS technologies with a reduced error rate, which can save computing, power, network, and / or communication resources that might otherwise be consumed to detect and / or correct communication errors.

[0107] As indicated above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 6 The examples described are different.
