[0001] The present Application for Patent claims priority to Greece Patent Application No. 20250100146 by KUMARI et al., entitled “MOBILE DEVICE NODES FOR WEATHER MEASUREMENTS,” filed February 25, 2025, assigned to the assignee hereof, and expressly incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[0002] The following relates to wireless communication, including mobile device nodes for weather measurements.BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) sy stems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication for communication devices, which may be known as user equipment (UE).SUMMARY

[0004] The systems, methods, and devices of this disclosure each have several innovative aspects, no single one of which is solely responsible for the desirable attributes disclosed herein.

A wireless device (e.g., a UAV, an ISAC node) may receive an indication to perform one or more measurements from a network entity, and may transmit a corresponding measurement report indicative of measurements related to weather conditions. The network entity may obtain (e.g., receive) the measurement report, and responsive to the measurement report, may output (e.g., transmit) one or more messages indicative of updated communication parameters for the wireless device (e.g., updated resource allocations, transmit powers, scheduling information). In some examples, the network entity may configure (e.g., assign) the wireless device as a primary node (e.g., a primary UAV (p-UAV)) for localized weather monitoring and measurements (e.g., precipitation) as well as for predicting relevant channel parameters, or as a centralized controller (CC). Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device or the network entity may select one or more secondary nodes (e.g., secondary UAV (s-UAV) nodes) to assist in measurement (e.g., based on one or more parameters or configurations).

[0044] Some wireless communications systems may support the use of various mobile devices in an environment, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among other aerial devices. UAVs may in some cases experience degraded performance due to adverse weather conditions, including precipitation, wind, hail, and storms, which may result in a reduced UAV fly zone, reduced reliability in communications, increased collisions, relatively poor UAV detection and tracking, as well as reduced reliable communication and sensing capability. Some fly zones may implement weather prediction using static ground-based weather radars or weather balloons. However, ground-based radars may lack real-time localized measurements, while measurements performed by weather balloons may be relatively inaccurate, and so current measurement methods may lack a small enough granularity to improve performance related to relatively smaller UAVs that are affected by localized weather conditions.

[0045] Techniques described herein support mobile devices, such as UAVs, that may act as nodes for both weather measurement and communication within an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) network. For example, a wireless device (e.g., a UAV, an ISAC node) may receive an indication to perform one or more measurements from a network entity and may transmit a corresponding measurementAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO10report indicative of measurements related to weather conditions. The network entity may obtain (e.g., receive) the measurement report, and responsive to the measurement report, may output (e.g., transmit) one or more messages indicative of updated communication parameters for the wireless device (e.g., updated resource allocations, transmit powers, scheduling information). In some examples, the network entity may configure (e.g., assign) the wireless device as a primary node (e.g., a primary UAV (p-UAV)) for localized weather monitoring and measurements (e.g., precipitation) as well as for predicting relevant channel parameters. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device or the network entity may select one or more secondary nodes (e.g., secondary UAVs (s-UAVs)) to assist in measurement (e.g., based on one or more parameters or configurations). The wireless device may in some cases be a centralized controller (CC), and may coordinate parameter updates and measuring among the secondary nodes. Additional measurement related configurations, rules, and signaling may also be considered.

[0046] By using one or more measurements performed at a central (e g., primary) node or one or more secondary’ nodes, a network entity or wireless device may update communication parameters (e.g., resource allocation, transmit power, flight path, and scheduling information) to improve an efficiency and quality in communication in the presence of adverse weather conditions. Using localized measurements in updating communication parameters may also improve flight path determination and coordination among devices, among other benefits. Further, selecting one or more secondary nodes (e.g., based on one or more parameters or configurations) may further improve an accuracy and usefulness of measurements.

[0047] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to wireless communications systems and process flows.Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to mobile device nodes for weather measurements.

[0048] FIG. 1 shows an example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports mobile device nodes for weather measurements in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 may Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO11include one or more devices, such as one or more network devices (e.g., network entities 105), one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE- A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating in accordance with other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0049] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system 100 and may include devices in different forms or having different capabilities. In various examples, a network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, a mobility element, a radio access network (RAN) node, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, network entities 105 and UEs 115 may wirelessly communicate via communication link(s) 125 (e.g., a radio frequency (RF) access link). For example, a network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) over which the UEs 115 and the network entity 105 may establish the communication link(s) 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which a network entity 105 and a UE 115 may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0050] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout a coverage area 110 of the wireless communications system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communications with various types of devices in the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., other wireless communication devices, including UEs 115 or network entities 105), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0051] As described herein, a node of the wireless communications system 100, which may be referred to as a network node, or a wireless node, may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a node may be a UE 115. As another Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO12example, a node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In yet other aspects of this example, the first, second, and third nodes may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, reference to a UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like may include disclosure of the UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like being a node. For example, disclosure that a UE 115 is configured to receive information from a network entity 105 also discloses that a first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0052] In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with a core network 130, or with one another, or both. For example, network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an SI, N2, N3, or other interface protocol). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an X2, Xn, or other interface protocol) either directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., in accordance with a midhaul interface protocol) or a fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., in accordance with a fronthaul interface protocol), or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication link(s) 120, midhaul communication links 162, or fronthaul communication links 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., an electrical link, an optical fiber link) or one or more wireless links (e.g., a radio link, a wireless optical link), among other examples or various combinations thereof. A UE 115 may communicate with the core network 130 via a communication link 155.

[0053] One or more of the network entities 105 or network equipment described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (either of whichAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO13may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology). In some examples, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within one network entity (e.g., a network entity 105 or a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0054] In some examples, a network entity 105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture), which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among multiple network entities (e.g., network entities 105), such as an integrated access and backhaul (I AB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, a network entity 105 may include one or more of a central unit (CU). such as a CU 160, a distributed unit (DU), such as a DU 165, a radio unit (RU), such as an RU 170, a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), such as an RIC 175 (e.g., a Near-Real Time RIC (Near-RT RIC), a Non-Real Time RIC (Non-RT RIC)), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) system, such as an SMO system 180, or any combination thereof. An RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmission reception point (TRP). One or more components of the network entities 105 in a disaggregated RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entities 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more of the network entities 105 of a disaggregated RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., a virtual CU (VCU), a virtual DU (VDU), a virtual RU (VRU)).

[0055] The split of functionality between a CU 160, a DU 165, and an RU 170 is flexible and may support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, or any combinations thereof) are performed at a CU 160, a DU 165, or an RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between a CU 160 and a DU 165 such that the CU 160 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the DU 165 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In someAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO14examples, the CU 160 may host upper protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 (e.g., one or more CUs) may be connected to a DU 165 (e.g., one or more DUs) or an RU 170 (e.g., one or more RUs), or some combination thereof, and the DUs 165, RUs 170, or both may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (LI) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally, or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between a DU 165 and an RU 170 such that the DU 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the RU 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DU 165 may support one or multiple different cells (e.g., via one or multiple different RUs, such as an RU 170). In some cases, a functional split between a CU 160 and a DU 165 or between a DU 165 and an RU 170 may be within a protocol layer (e.g., some functions for a protocol layer may be performed by one of a CU 160, a DU 165, or an RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of the CU 160, the DU 165, or the RU 170). A CU 160 may be functionally split further into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. A CU 160 may be connected to a DU 165 via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., F 1, F 1 -c, F 1 -u), and a DU 165 may be connected to an RU 170 via a fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, a midhaul communication link 162 or a fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented in accordance with an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities (e.g., one or more of the network entities 105) that are in communication via such communication links.

[0056] In some wireless communications systems (e.g., the wireless communications system 100), infrastructure and spectral resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to a core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more of the network entities 105 (e.g., network entities 105 or IAB node(s) 104) may be partially controlled by each other. The IAB node(s) 104 may be referred to as a donor entity or an IAB donor. A DU 165 or an RU 170 may beAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO15partially controlled by a CU 160 associated with a network entity 105 or base station 140 (such as a donor network entity or a donor base station). The one or more donor entities (e.g., I AB donors) may be in communication with one or more additional devices (e.g., IAB node(s) 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link(s) 120). IAB node(s) 104 may include an IAB mobile termination (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) of a coupled IAB donor. An IAB-MT may be equipped with an independent set of antennas for relay of communications with UEs 115 or may share the same antennas (e.g., of an RU 170) of IAB node(s) 104 used for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node(s) 104 (e.g., referred to as virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node(s) 104 may include one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) that support communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node(s) 104, UEs 115) within the relay chain or configuration of the access network (e.g., downstream). In such cases, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., the IAB node(s) 104 or components of the IAB node(s) 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0057] In the case of the techniques described herein applied in the context of a disaggregated RAN architecture, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture may be configured to support mobile device nodes for weather measurements as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally, or alternatively, be performed by one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., components such as an IAB node, a DU 165, a CU 160, an RU 170, an RIC 175, an SMO system 180).

[0058] A UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the "‘device-’ may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (loT) device, an Internet of Everything (loE) device, or aAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO16machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, vehicles, or meters, among other examples.

[0059] The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as UEs 115 that may sometimes operate as relays, as well as the network entities 105 and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0060] The UEs 115 and the network entities 105 may wirelessly communicate with one another via the communication link(s) 125 (e.g., one or more access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term '‘carrier’7may refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined PHY layer structure for supporting the communication link(s) 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link(s) 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more PHY layer channels for a given RAT (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each PHY layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system 100 may support communication with a UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. Communication between a network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between the devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of a network entity 105. For example, the terms “transmitting,” “receiving,” or “communicating,” when referring to a network entity 105, may refer to any portion of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a CU 160, a DU 165. a RU 170) of a RAN communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities, such as one or more of the network entities 105).

[0061] In some examples, such as in a carrier aggregation configuration, a carrier may have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates operations for other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an evolved Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO17universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute RF channel number (EARFCN)) and may be identified according to a channel raster for discovery by the UEs 115. A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection may be conducted by the UEs 115 via the carrier, or the carrier may be operated in a non-standalone mode, in which case a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or a different RAT).

[0062] The communication link(s) 125 of the wireless communications system 100 may include downlink transmissions (e.g., forward link transmissions) from a network entity 105 to a UE 115, uplink transmissions (e.g., return link transmissions) from a UE 115 to a network entity 105, or both, among other configurations of transmissions. Carriers may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode).

[0063] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the RF spectrum and, in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a “system bandwidth’’ of the carrier or the wireless communications system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a set of bandwidths for carriers of a particular RAT (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., the network entities 105, the UEs 115, or both) may have hardware configurations that support communications using a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communications using one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may include network entities 105 or UEs 115 that support concurrent communications using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured for operating using portions (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth.

[0064] Signal waveforms transmitted via a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to resources of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The quantity of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO18modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively higher quantity of resource elements (e.g., in a transmission duration) and a relatively higher order of a modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively higher rate of communication. A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of an RF spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., a spatial layer, a beam), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE 115.

[0065] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, and a numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time and communications for the UE 115 may be restricted to one or more active BWPs.

[0066] The time intervals for the network entities 105 or the UEs 115 may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of Ts= 1 / (fmax· Nf) seconds, for which fmaxmay represent a supported subcarrier spacing, and Nf may represent a supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0067] Each frame may include multiple consecutively-numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a quantity of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable quantity of slots, and the quantity of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a quantity of symbol periods (e g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems, such as the wireless communications system 100, a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., N) sampling periods.Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO19The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation.

[0068] A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., a quantity of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally, or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0069] Physical channels may be multiplexed for communication using a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed for signaling via a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to an amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to UEs 115 (e.g., one or more UEs) or may include UE -specific search space sets for sending control information to a UE 115 (e.g., a specific UE).

[0070] A network entity 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, for example a macro cell, a small cell, a hot spot, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with a network entity 105 (e.g., using a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing neighboring cells (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID)). In some examples, a cell also may Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO20refer to a coverage area 110 or a portion of a coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) over which the logical communication entity operates. Such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., a structure, a subset of structure) to larger areas depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the network entity 105. For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or exterior spaces between or overlapping with coverage areas 110, among other examples.

[0071] In some examples, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving coverage area, such as the coverage area 110. In some examples, coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) associated with different technologies may overlap, but the coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) may be supported by the same network entity (e.g., a network entity 105). In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas, such as a coverage area 110, associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities (e.g., the network entities 105). The wireless communications system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the network entities 105 support communications for coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) using the same or different RATs.

[0072] Some UEs 115. such as MTC or loT devices, may be relatively low cost or low complexity’ devices and may provide for automated communication between machines (e g., via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with one another or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that uses the information or presents the information to humans interacting with the application program. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business charging.Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO21

[0073] The wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The UEs 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more services such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0074] In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured to support communicating directly with other UEs (e.g., one or more of the UEs 115) via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link, such as a D2D communication link 135 (e.g., in accordance with a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of a group that are performing D2D communications may be within the coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communications being configured by (e.g., scheduled by) the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 or may be otherwise unable to or not configured to receive transmissions from a network entity 105. In some examples, groups of the UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may support a one-to-many (1: M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to one or more of the UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, a network entity 105 may facilitate the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be carried out between the UEs 115 without an involvement of a network entity 105.

[0075] In some systems, a D2D communication link 135 may be an example of a communication channel, such as a sidelink communication channel, between vehicles (e.g., UEs 115). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-every thing (V2X) communications, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, or some combination of these. A vehicle may signal information related to traffic conditions,Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO22signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information relevant to a V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as roadside units, or with the network via one or more network nodes (e.g., network entities 105, base stations 140, RUs 170) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communications, or with both.

[0076] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs 115 served by the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service.

[0077] The wireless communications system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, which may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, which may be referred to as clusters, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs 115 located indoors. Communications using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than one hundred kilometers) compared to communications using the smaller frequencies and longerAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO23waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0078] The wireless communications system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) RAT, or NR technology using an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. While operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices such as the network entities 105 and the UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating using a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

[0079] A network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) or a UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a network entity 105 or a UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a network entity 105 may be located at diverse geographic locations. A network entity 105 may include an antenna array with a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE 115. Likewise, a UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally, or alternatively, an antenna panel may support RF beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port.

[0080] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO24achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation).

[0081] A network entity 105 or a UE 115 may use beam sweeping techniques as part of beamforming operations. For example, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with a UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by a network entity 105 multiple times along different directions. For example, the network entity 105 may transmit a signal according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. Transmissions along different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device, such as a network entity 105, or by a receiving device, such as a UE 115) a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the network entity 105.

[0082] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by a transmitting device (e.g., a network entity 105 or a UE 115) along a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with the receiving device, such as another network entity 105 or UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on a signal that was transmitted along one or more beam directions. For example, a UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the network entity 105 along different directions and may report to the network entity 105 an indication of the signal that the UE 115 received with a highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality.Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO25

[0083] In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a network entity 105 or a UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a network entity 105 to a UE 115). The UE 115 may report feedback that indicates precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured set of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. The network entity 105 may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSIRS)), which may be precoded or unprecoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted along one or more directions by a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170), a UE 115 may employ similar techniques for transmitting signals multiple times along different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE 115) or for transmitting a signal along a single direction (e.g., for transmitting data to a receiving device).

[0084] A receiving device (e.g., a UE 115) may perform reception operations in accordance with multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from a transmitting device (e.g., a network entity 105), such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, a receiving device may perform reception in accordance with multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned along a beam directionAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO26determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have a highest signal strength, highest signal -to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0085] The wireless communications system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or PDCP layer may be IP-based. An RLC layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate via logical channels. A MAC layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer also may implement error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, an RRC layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE 115 and a network entity 105 or a core network 130 supporting radio bearers for user plane data. A PHY layer may map transport channels to physical channels.

[0086] The UEs 115 and the network entities 105 may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data is received successfully. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is received correctly via a communication link (e.g., the communication link(s) 125, a D2D communication link 135). HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in relatively poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, in which case the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received via a previous symbol in the slot. In some other examples, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot, or according to some other time interval.

[0087] Techniques described herein may support one or more wireless devices (e.g., mobile devices, UAVs) that may act as nodes for both weather measurement and communication within an ISAC network. For example, a wireless device, such as a UE 115-a, (e.g., a UAV, an ISAC node), may receive an indication to perform one or more measurements from a network entity 105 and may transmit a corresponding Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO27measurement report indicative of measurements related to weather conditions. The network entity 105, responsive to the measurement report, may output one or more messages indicative of updated communication parameters for the UE 115-a (e.g., updated resource allocations, transmit powers, scheduling information). In some examples, the network entity 105 may configure the UE 115-a as a CC for localized weather monitoring and measurements as well as for predicting relevant channel parameters. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115-a or the network entity 105 may select one or more secondary nodes, such as one or more UEs 115-b, to assist in measurement. For example, the UE 115-a may coordinate parameter updates and measuring among one or more UEs 115-b via one or more D2D communication links 135 shared with the one or more UEs 115-b (or other communication links), which may be in a same or different coverage area as one or more devices of the system 100.

[0088] Using localized measurements performed at one or more primary nodes secondary nodes may enable a network entity 105 or UE 115 to update different communication parameters (e.g., resource allocation, transmit power, flight path, and scheduling information) to improve an efficiency and quality in communications between UEs 115 in the presence of adverse weather conditions, as well as may improve flight path determination, improve coordination among devices, among other benefits.

[0089] FIG. 2 shows an example of a wireless communications system 200 that supports mobile device nodes for weather measurements in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the wireless communications system 200 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100. For example, the wireless communications system 200 may include one or more wireless devices 215, including wireless devices 215-a, 215-b, 215-c, 215-d, and 215-e, in communication with one or more network entities 205, including a network entity 205-a, which may be an example of UEs 115 and network entities 105, respectively, as described herein. In some examples, the wireless device 215-a may share a communications link 225-a with the network entity 205-a (e.g., a wireless communication link 125) and one or more communication links 135 with one or more of the other wireless devices 215. The network entity 205-a may also share additional communications links 225 with the other wireless devices 215. In someAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO28examples, the wireless communications system 200 may support utilizing one or more mobile device nodes for weather measurements.

[0090] For example, some systems may include various mobile wireless devices, including aerial devices (e.g., UAVs). Aerial devices however may experience relatively poor performance under various weather conditions, such as precipitation conditions, rain, and hail. Adverse weather conditions may result in reduced fly zones or reliability (e.g., for UAVs), increased collisions, relatively poor device detection and tracking, and reduced reliability communications and sensing capabilities.

[0091] Weather prediction in fly zones may also be relatively poor in some systems, such as for systems including static ground weather radars and balloons with limited measuring capability. For example, ground weather radars may lack real-time localized precipitation measurement. Further, while weather balloons may measure one or more atmospheric sounding parameters, such parameters may be used by the balloon or one or more devices or network entities offline to predict parameters that may affect ISAC performance and may be relatively inaccurate for sensing and communication operations. Aerial devices, however, may have relatively finer and faster movement control and greater autonomy compared to ground-based radars and weather balloons. As such, aerial devices may have a potential for providing improved weather tracking for the benefit of ISAC networks involving UAVs susceptible to localized weather effects as compared to weather balloons and ground-based radar measurements.

[0092] As described herein, wireless devices 215 (e.g., UAVs equipped with ISAC device nodes) may perform real-time measurements or predictions to assist other devices. For example, the wireless communications system 200 may be an example of an ISAC network, and may involve the use of signaling and configurations for precipitation measurement and handling using one or more wireless devices 215 as mobile ISAC device nodes (e.g., UAVs as three-dimensional (3D) mobile ISAC device nodes). The wireless devices 215 or network entities 205 may utilize such measurements for real-time localized weather monitoring, as well as to predict relevant channel parameters for improved ISAC operation during precipitation. For example, by using the wireless devices 215 as mobile device nodes, weather measurements may be more specific and accurate than other measurement sy stems, improving device handlingAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO29of precipitation and other weather conditions as well as overall ISAC operation in adverse weather.

[0093] In some cases, one or more wireless devices 215 may act as 3D mobile ISAC device nodes for precipitation measurement and handling. For example, the wireless communications system 200 may include a set of primary nodes (e.g., primary nodes (e.g., a set of p-UAV nodes) that may be assigned for measuring weather information parameters (e.g., precipitation information parameters) from the network entity 205-a (e.g., a serving ground gNB). For example, the wireless devices 215-a and 215-e may represent primary’ nodes for performing measurements. In some examples, the wireless device 215-a may autonomously determine to perform one or more measurements based on triggering criteria configured at the wireless device 215-a (e.g., configured by RRC signaling or preconfigured at the device). Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device 215-a may receive an indication 230-a (e.g., a control signal) output (e.g., transmitted) from the network entity 205-a, which may indicate that the wireless device 215-a is assigned for measuring precipitation information parameters or may indicate to perform one or more measurements. For example, the wireless device 215-a may depend on the network entity 205-a to dynamically transmit the indication 230-a to perform one or more measurements. In some examples, the wireless device 215-a may perform real-time localized weather monitoring as well as predict relevant channel parameters for enhanced ISAC operation during rain or other weather conditions.

[0094] Additionally, or alternatively, the primary nodes (or the network entity 205-a) may select a set of secondary nodes (e.g., s-UAV nodes) for assisting in measurements based on respective capabilities and trajectories. For example, the wireless device 215-a may select the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c to function as secondary nodes and to assist in one or more measurements. In some cases, the wireless device 215-a may transmit one or more indications 240 (e.g., via control signals) to the wireless device 215-b and the wireless device 215-c via respective communication links 235, which may indicate that the wireless device 215-b and the wireless device 215-c are assigned as secondary nodes or request performance of one or more measurements.

[0095] In some examples, the wireless device 215-a may select secondary nodes among wireless devices 215 within a coverage area. For example, the wireless device 215-a may select wireless devices 215 within a coverage area 210-a (e.g.. a precipitation Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO30or other parameter measuring coverage area, a coverage zone). In some cases, the network entity 205-a may determine the coverage area 210-a based on expected weather conditions (e.g., predetermined based on expected rainfall), or based on a capability of one or more wireless devices 215. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity 205-a or the wireless device 215-a may dynamically determine the coverage area 210-a based on one or more ISAC quality of service (QoS) parameters or based on a projected trajectory of one or more wireless devices (e.g., one or more p-UAV nodes, one or more s-UAV nodes, one or more client UAVs). The coverage area 210-a may further be selected as a coverage area for measurements and including a selected CC (e.g., a coverage area for precipitation measurement and of a p-UAV CC).

[0096] In some examples, one of the primary nodes, such as the wireless device 215-a, may act as a mobile CC (e.g., a p-UAV CC, a p-UAV as a mobile CC) for one or more coordination operations. For example, the wireless device 215-a may act as a CC for coordinating sensing operations among other primary nodes, including the wireless device 215-e, and secondary nodes, including the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device 215-a may act as a CC for processing sensing measurements, or for coordinating the other wireless devices 215 with one or more network entities 205. In some examples, the indications 240 may indicate to the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c to perform one or more measurements, where the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c may depend on the wireless device 215-a (e.g., a CC) to dynamically transmit the indications 240 to perform one or more measurements. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c may autonomously determine to perform one or more measurements based on triggering criteria configured at the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c (e.g., configured by RRC signaling received from the network entity 205-a or from the wireless device 215-a or preconfigured at the devices).

[0097] In some examples, the network entity 205-a or one or more primary nodes may signal other nodes (e.g., p-UAV and s-UAV) to assist in precipitation measurement. For example, the wireless device 215-a may transmit indications 240-a and 240-b of one or more parameters for performing measurements at the wireless devices 215-c and 215-b (e.g., one or more requested parameters for performing measurements, one or more parameters to be used in measurements such as a length ofAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO31time or associated beams). Similarly, the network entity 205-a may include parameters for measurement within the indication 230-a. In some cases, the network entity 205-a or the wireless device 215-a may signal path and mobility modifications to improve measurement. Further, the wireless device 215-a may suggest one or more wireless devices 215 (e.g., s-UAVs) for a path adjustment (e.g., a slight path change) based on a rule or configuration determined by the network entity 205-a, such as a policy predetermined by the network entity 205-a and included in the indication 230-a. A node for measurement, such as the wireless device 215-c. may act as a transmission or reception node to assist in multi-static sensing with one or more primary nodes or secondary nodes, along with relevant transmission information parameters and reception information parameters.

[0098] For example, parameters for wireless device measurements (e.g., 3D location and 3D mobility parameters for p-UAVs / s-UAVs) may be signaled by the network entity 205 or by a primary node, or may be based on one or more configurations (e.g., rules) received at a primary node from the network entity 205-a or from another primary node (e.g., a CC). In some cases, the wireless device 215-a may select second nodes, or positions for second nodes, based on one or more parameters of the wireless devices 215.

[0099] In some examples, location and mobility, or selection, of primary nodes or secondary nodes (e.g., p-UAV or s-UAV) may be based on initial precipitation information from static weather radars. Additionally, or alternatively, location and mobility, or a selection of secondary nodes, may be based on a target ISAC QoS (e.g., one or more ISAC QoS requirements), interference or congestion profiles of the coverage area 210-a, or capability reports of wireless devices 215. Further, the location and mobility may be based on ISAC measurement reports being below a threshold. For example, the location and mobility may be based on an accuracy of one or more measurements, a maximum range (e g., a maximum detectable range of a target of interest such as a vehicle), reference signal received powers (RSRPs), received signal strength indicators (RSSIs), bit error rates (BERs), among other factors associated with wireless devices 215, and may in some examples be based on such parameters being below one or more thresholds. In some examples, the location and mobility may be based on a maximum range to mitigate heavy precipitation, as relatively heavyAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO32precipitation may cause a reduction in target detection range as compared to, for example, no precipitation.

[0100] In some cases, based on one or more messages received at the wireless device 215-a from the other wireless devices 215, the wireless device 215-a may select secondary nodes associated with a relatively higher RSRP or lower BER (e.g., for a higher target QoS), or may widen an acceptable RSRP range (e g., for a lower allowed QoS). In some examples, a wireless device 215 may perform a precipitation measurement over a processing interval (e.g., a coherent processing interval (CPI), a non-coherent processing interval) with a diverse location of nodes (e.g., p-UAV nodes and s-UAV nodes) with different heights, distances, or angles from a center of the coverage area 210-a. Additionally, or alternatively, additional wireless devices 215 (e.g., p-UAVs or s-UAVs) may assist in precipitation detection or measurement when one or more ISAC measurement parameters (e.g., accuracy, maximum range. RSRPs, RSSls. BERs, among others parameters of an ISAC measurement report) of an existing active netw ork of wireless devices (e g., the wireless communications system 200 including one or more wireless devices 215 such as UAVs) are below one or more thresholds.

[0101] In some cases, one or more primary nodes may collect the sensing measurement reports from other selected nodes (e.g., s-UAVs and other p-UAVs) within the coverage area 210-a. For example, the wireless device 215-a (e.g., an initiator p-UAV) may signal selected nodes, such as the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c, to send measurement reports in accordance with an ISAC QoS via the indications 240-a and 240-b and may send one or more transmission or reception parameters to assist in precipitation measurement (e.g., parameters indicated in the indications 240). In response to the indications 240-a and 240-b, the wireless device 215-a may receive measurement information 245-a and 245-b from the wireless devices 215-c and 215-b.

[0102] In some cases, a primary node, such as the wireless device 215-a, may process the data measured by itself and collected by other nodes to generate one or more measurements (e.g., precipitation measurements) based on one or more configurations (e.g., rules) sent by the network entity 205-a. Further, the wireless device 215-a may receive and forward one or more measurements from the other wireless devices 215. Additionally, or alternatively, a non-CC primary’ node, such as the wireless device Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO33215-e, may collect measurements using configurations sent by the wireless device 215-a (e.g., send by a p-UAV CC), and may report the collected or processed information to the wireless device 215-a. In some cases, a CC, such as the wireless device 215-a, may send collected or processed precipitation measurement data to the network entity 205-a. For example, the wireless device 215-a may transmit a measurement report 250-a to the network entity 205-a. In some examples, the measurement information 245 or the measurement report 250-a may include a variety of various weather-related measurements (e.g., one or more precipitation measurements, one or more wind measurements, one or more hail measurements), among other measurements. In some cases, the measurement report 250-a may represent a joint measurement report including measurement information based on communication with the wireless devices 215-b and 215-c as described herein, or may be a single measurement report based on measurements performed at the wireless device 215-a.

[0103] In some examples, the network entity 205-a may output a suggested updated resource allocation, transmit power, and scheduling information, among other information, to one or more wireless devices 215 via one or more additional indications 230 based on the reported measurement information. For example, the updated information may be used to improve one or more measurements based on the measurement information 245 and measurement report 250. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device 215-a may update resource allocation and scheduling of the other wireless devices 215 (e.g., UAVs) in the coverage area 210-a based on one or more rules from the network entity 205-a by transmitting additional indications 240. In some cases, the wireless device 215-a may utilize a dedicated resource pool for scheduling other wireless devices 215 (e.g., ISAC users) autonomously, and may report associated allocations to the network entity 205-a.

[0104] In some examples, the network entity 205-a may output one or more messages 255 indicating updated communication parameters based on reported measurements. For example, the wireless device 215-a may receive a message 255-a from the network entity 205-a indicating updated communication parameters. In some cases, the wireless device 215-a may transmit one or more messages 260, including messages 260-a and 260-b, to indicate updated communication parameters to the other wireless devices 215. Further, the other wireless devices 215 may receive one or moreAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO34messages 255 directly from the network entity 205-a. The wireless communications system 200 may also include a set of client devices (e.g., client UAVs) that may utilize precipitation measurement data to assist in ISAC operation or flight path determination and reliability. For example, the wireless device 215-d may represent a client device and may receive updated communication parameters from the wireless device 215-a via a message 260-c, or directly from the network entity 205-a via a message 255.Additionally, or alternatively, one or more wireless devices 215 may determine whether to update one or more parameters or a flight path based on received communication parameters, or may perform one or more calculations and select updated parameters accordingly.

[0105] The communication parameters may in some examples include, or be based on, prediction parameter information (e.g., predicted parameters for each channel) determined at the network entity 205-a using the measurement information. In some cases, measurement information 245 and measurement reports 250 (e.g., precipitation measurement reports), as well as prediction parameter information, may include 3D precipitation velocity or 3D rain drop distribution. Prediction parameter information may also include precipitation RCS as a function of height, angle, and distance.Prediction parameter information may further include delay, doppler. and angular spread variation due to precipitation, as well as 3D attenuation model parameters in rain. Prediction parameter information may be based on reported measurements.

[0106] In some cases, the wireless device 215-a may suggest, or indicate, one or more parameters for updated resource management to one or more devices, such as client devices (e.g., client UAVs), such as the wireless device 215-d. For example, the message 260-c may include one or more suggested transmit parameters, such as transmit power (e.g., increasing power to mitigate precipitation attenuation), beamwidth, beam direction, and time-frequency resource to be used by the wireless device 215-d. The message 260-c may also include an indication of priority for one or more resource allocations (e.g., how much to prioritize radar sensing resource allocations over high-data rate communications). Further, the message 260-c may indicate one or more receive processing information parameters, such as for assisting in an algorithm for cancellation of precipitation clutter.Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO35

[0107] For example, the methods described herein may reduce an impact of weather conditions, such as rain and precipitation, on communications (e.g., mmWave radar) between wireless devices 215. In some cases, during some sensing (e g., automotive radar sensing) precipitation may introduce attenuation and clutter interference due to volume scattering from various constituent particles.

[0108] Rain clutter in some examples may be represented by the total radar cross section < JCfrom volume-distributed clutter (e.g., rain) and may be represented by < JC= r]Vc. In some examples, T] may be the radar cross-section (RCS) per unit volume, which may be directly proportional to radar reflectivity factor (Z = ar^ =Df) where a and b may be constants, and Dtmay be the diameter of the rain drop represented by a sphere. For a rain clutter model, the value of p may depend on the rain drop size distribution, rainfall rate (rr), dielectric constant of the precipitation particle, and carrier wavelength. In some examples, Vcmay be the volume of the radar resolution cell, where the volume Vcis given by Vc= - RA6)(R A<p) AR), with A6 as the azimuth beamwidth, Ac / ) as the elevation beamwidth, AR as the range resolution, and R as the range. The factor - may be included to account for elliptical shape of the antenna-beam projected area. Additionally, or alternatively, rain attenuation may be represented by A4ex p^- yR), where y may be the rain attenuation coefficient and A may be the multipath coefficient, which may depend on the rainfall rate. Higher rainfall rate in some examples may lead to less multipath.

[0109] In some examples, for monostatic sensing under precipitation with transmit power Pt, antenna gain G, carrier wavelength A, a signal power corresponding to a point target with RCS <jtmay be given by S = ^4^3r^- In some cases, clutter power may be directly proportional to the square of carrier wavelength, directly proportional to the square of antenna gain, and inversely proportional to the fourth power of range. Further, precipitation clutter power corresponding to precipitation particles assuming the Rayleigh scattering model may be given by C =K Z- In such an example, the clutter power may be inversely proportional to the square of carrier wavelength, directly proportional to the antenna gain, inversely proportional to the square of range. In some cases, a precipitation clutter model may begin to deviate from Rayleigh and to approachAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO36Mie scattering as carrier frequency increases, which may impact precipitation backscattering and reflected parameters (e.g., associated values may be generally higher for Rayliegh as compared to Mie with increase in rain drop diameter and rain rate).

[0110] As described with respect to FIG. 2, a wireless device 215 may receive updated parameters which may be used to account for rain clutter and rain attenuation effects on communications. For example, a wireless device 215 may use measurement reports and prediction information to refine path (e.g., UAV path) and mobility parameters, such as in hail conditions to reduce getting hit my hail particles. In some cases, the wireless device 215 may adjust a travel path or location to avoid localized adverse weather conditions. For example, a wireless device 215 may receive updated parameters to move to a location associated with less rainfall to reduce rain clutter and attenuation. In some examples, a wireless device 215 may also adjust a transmit power to overcome attenuation, or may adjust a beam angle to improve a signal strength. Further, wireless devices 215 may otherwise improve path management as a whole. Additionally, or alternatively, utilizing different wireless devices 215 to perform measurements, and updating flight paths and measurement parameters, may improve an accuracy of measurements used in updating communication parameters. In some examples, rain may be modeled in channel modeling for automotive scenarios, and rain may be included in one or more families of sensing object model types.[OHl] Additionally, or alternatively, although the examples described in FIG. 2 may often involve aerial devices, such as UAVs, other devices and systems may also support the signaling, configurations, and procedures described herein. For example, the wireless devices 215 may represent one or more devices of a transportation system (e.g., trains, buses), one or more ground-based vehicles (e.g., automobiles), one or more manned aerial vehicles (e.g., commercial planes, military aircraft), among other devices, that may support using one or more primary nodes, CCs, or secondary' nodes for measurements, reporting, and communication of communication parameters. Further, such examples may be used in addition to, or in combination with UAVs or automotive scenarios as described herein. Additionally, or alternatively, the techniques described herein may be utilized in any network or communications system.

[0112] FIG. 3 shows an example of a process flow 300 that supports mobile device nodes for weather measurements in accordance with one or more aspects of the present Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO37disclosure. In some examples, the process flow 300 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications systems 100 and 200. For example, the process flow 300 may include one or more wireless devices 315, such as a wireless device 315-a and a wireless device 315-b, which may be examples of UEs 115 or wireless devices 215, which may be in communication with one or more network entities 305, including a network entity 305-a, which may be examples of UEs 115 or wireless devices 215 and network entities 105 or 205 as described herein. In some examples, the process flow 300 may support messaging and configurations for updating communication parameters based on performing measurements at one or more wireless devices 315 as described herein.

[0113] In the following description of the process flow 300, the operations may be performed (such as reported or provided) in a different order than the order shown, or the operations performed by the example devices may be performed at different times. Some operations also may be omitted from the process flow 300, or other operations may be added to the process flow 300. Further, although some operations or signaling may be shown to occur at different times for discussion purposes, these operations may actually occur at the same time or at least partially concurrently.

[0114] At 320, the wireless device 315-a may perform one or more first measurements associated with weather conditions. In some cases, the wireless device 315-a may autonomously determine to perform the one or more first measurements based on triggering criteria configured at the wireless device 315-a. Additionally, or alternatively, at 320 (e.g., before the wireless device 315-a performs the one or more first measurements) the wireless device 315-a may receive, and the network entity 305-a may output (e.g., transmit, transmit directly, transmit via one or more components of the network entity 305-a or via one or more components in communication with the network entity 305-a), a first indication to perform measurements associated with weather conditions. In some examples, the network entity 305-a may output multiple first indications for performance of measurements associated with weather conditions to the wireless device 315-a and to a wireless device 315-b (or to one or more additional wireless devices 315).

[0115] In some examples, the wireless device 315-a may receive, and the network entity 305-a may output, a second indication (e.g.. before the first indication, after the Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO38first indication, within a same message as or at the same time as the first indication) to perform one or more coordination operations associated with one or more wireless devices 315, such as the wireless device 315-b. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device 315-a may receive, and the network entity 305-a may output, a second indication (e.g., before the first indication, after the first indication, within a same message as or at the same time as the first indication) of one or more parameters, one or more configurations (e g., rules), or both, for performing measurements associated with weather conditions.

[0116] At 325, the wireless device 315-a may select a subset of wireless devices 315 from a set of wireless devices 315 for performance of second measurements associated with weather conditions. Selecting the subset may be in accordance with a target QoS. Additionally, or alternatively, selecting the subset may be in accordance with one or more locations, one or more QoS parameters, one or more maximum ranges, one or more receive powers, one or more BERs, or any combination thereof, associated with the subset.

[0117] At 330, the wireless device 315-a may transmit, to the subset of wireless devices 315 (e.g., to the wireless device 315-b), one or more control signals indicative of one or more second parameters, one or more second configurations (e.g., rules), or both, for performing second measurements.

[0118] At 335, the wireless device 315-a may receive measurement information (e.g., from the subset of wireless devices 315, from the wireless device 315-b) that is indicative of one or more second measurements in response to the one or more control signals.

[0119] At 340, the wireless device 315-a may transmit, and the network entity 305-a may obtain (e.g., receive, receive directly, receive via one or more components of the network entity 305-a or via one or more components in communication with the network entity 305-a), a measurement report indicative of the one or more first measurements associated with weather conditions. In some examples, the wireless device 315-a may transmit the measurement report in response to the first indication received at 320. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity 305-a may obtainAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO39multiple measurement reports from the wireless device 315-a and one or more additional wireless device 315.

[0120] In some examples, the measurement report may be indicative of the one or more second measurements. Additionally, or alternatively, the one or more first measurements may be in accordance with the one or more parameters or configurations for measurement. In some examples, the one or more first measurements may include one or more precipitation measurements, one or more wind measurements, one or more hail measurements, or any combination thereof.

[0121] At 345, the wireless device 315-a may receive, and the network entity 305-a may output, a message indicative of one or more first communication parameters to be used based on the one or more first measurements, where the message may be responsive to the measurement report. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity 305-a may output multiple messages to multiple wireless devices 315 indicative of one or more additional communication parameters (e.g.. including the first communication parameters) responsive to multiple measurement reports. In some examples, the one or more first communication parameters may include one or more updated resource allocations, one or more resources from a dedicated resource pool, one or more transmit powers, scheduling information, or any combination thereof. For example, the message may represent an updated indication for measurements.

A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices (e g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, multiple microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a DSP core,Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO88or any other such configuration). Any functions or operations described herein as being capable of being performed by a processor may be performed by multiple processors that, individually or collectively, are capable of performing the described functions or operations.

[0278] The functions described herein may be implemented using hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented using software executed by a processor, the functions may be stored as or transmitted using one or more instructions or code of a computer-readable medium. Other examples and implementations are within the scope of the disclosure and appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, functions described herein may be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or combinations of any of these. Features implementing functions may also be physically located at various positions, including being distributed such that portions of functions are implemented at different physical locations.

[0279] Computer-readable media includes both non-transitory computer storage media and communication media including any medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from one location to another. A non-transitory storage medium may be any available medium that may be accessed by a general -purpose or special-purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, non-transitory computer-readable media may include RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), flash memory compact disk (CD) ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transitory medium that may be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of instructions or data structures and that may be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer or a general-purpose or special-purpose processor. Also, any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of computer-readable medium. Disk and disc, as used herein, include CD, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk, and Blu-ray disc. Disks mayAttorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO89reproduce data magnetically, and discs may reproduce data optically using lasers. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media. Any functions or operations described herein as being capable of being performed by a memory may be performed by multiple memories that, individually or collectively, are capable of performing the described functions or operations.

[0280] As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as ‘'at least one of’ or “one or more of’) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e.. A and B and C). Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on.”

[0281] As used herein, including in the claims, the article “a” before a noun is open-ended and understood to refer to “at least one” of those nouns or “one or more” of those nouns. Thus, the terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” may be interchangeable. For example, if a claim recites “a component” that performs one or more functions, each of the individual functions may be performed by a single component or by any combination of multiple components. Thus, the term “a component” having characteristics or performing functions may refer to “at least one of one or more components” having a particular characteristic or performing a particular function. Subsequent reference to a component introduced with the article “a” using the terms “the” or “said” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, a component introduced with the article “a” may be understood to mean “one or more components,” and referring to “the component” subsequently in the claims may be understood to be equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.” Similarly, subsequent reference to a component introduced as “one or more components” using the terms “the” or “said” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, referring to “the one or more components” subsequently in the claims may be understood to be equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.”Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2500032WO90

[0282] The term '‘determine” or '‘determining” encompasses a variety of actions and, therefore, “determining” can include calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (such as via looking up in a table, a database, or another data structure), ascertaining, and the like. Also, “determining” can include receiving (e.g.. receiving information), accessing (e.g., accessing data stored in memory), and the like. Also, “determining” can include resolving, obtaining, selecting, choosing, establishing, and other such similar actions.

[0283] In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label. Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. If just the first reference label is used in the specification, the description is applicable to any one of the similar components having the same first reference label irrespective of the second reference label or other subsequent reference label.

[0284] The description set forth herein, in connection with the appended drawings, describes example configurations and does not represent all the examples that may be implemented or that are within the scope of the claims. The term “example” used herein means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration” and not “preferred” or “advantageous over other examples.” The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing an understanding of the described techniques. These techniques, however, may be practiced without these specific details. In some figures, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples.

[0285] The description herein is provided to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make or use the disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosure will be apparent to a person having ordinary' skill in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.Attorney Docket No. PB0030GR.WO (114958.5936)
