Abstract

A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE) includes receiving a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message from a second UE. The method also includes periodically transmitting and receiving a radar signal to sense an environment of the first UE. The method includes estimating joint communication and radar side information based on the V2X message and the radar signal. The method further includes predicting a communication state between the first UE and the second UE based on the joint communication and radar side information. The method still further includes updating communication transmit parameters based on the communication state.

Claims (28)

1. A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message from a second UE; periodically transmitting and receiving a radar signal to sense an environment of the first UE;

estimating joint communication and radar side information based on the V2X message and the radar signal;

predicting a communication state between the first UE and the second UE based on the joint communication and radar side information, the communication state including a non-line of sight path between the first UE and the second UE; and

updating communication transmit parameters to configure a beam pointing towards a target of a plurality of targets for reflecting to the second UE based on the communication state, the communication transmit parameters configuring an increased transmission power and an increased cyclic prefix (CP) length.

2. The method of claim 1 , in which the communication transmit parameters configure a decreased modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a current location of the second UE, a predicted behavior of the second UE, a current location of the first UE, a path loss between the first UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, a path loss between the second UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, or a reflection coefficient of each of the plurality of candidate targets.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a type of the second UE, an activity of the second UE, an activity of the first UE, a type of the first UE, a range of each of the plurality of candidate targets, a Doppler shift associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets, or an angular spread associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets.

5. An apparatus for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured:

to receive a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message from a second UE;

to periodically transmit and receive a radar signal to sense an environment of the first UE;

to estimate joint communication and radar side information based on the V2X message and the radar signal;

to predict a communication state between the first UE and the second UE based on the joint communication and radar side information, the communication state including a non-line of sight path between the first UE and the second UE; and

to update communication transmit parameters to configure a beam pointing towards a target of a plurality of targets for reflecting to the second UE based on the communication state, the communication transmit parameters configuring an increased transmission power and an increased cyclic prefix (CP) length.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , in which the communication transmit parameters configure a decreased modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , in which the at least one processor is further configured to determine the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a current location of the second UE, a predicted behavior of the second UE, a current location of the first UE, a path loss between the first UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, a path loss between the second UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, or a reflection coefficient of each of the plurality of candidate targets.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , in which the at least one processor is further configured to select the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a type of the second UE, an activity of the second UE, an activity of the first UE, a type of the first UE, a range of each of the plurality of candidate targets, a Doppler shift associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets, or an angular spread associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets.

9. An apparatus for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for receiving a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message from a second UE;

means for periodically transmitting and receiving a radar signal to sense an environment of the first UE;

means for estimating joint communication and radar side information based on the V2X message and the radar signal;

means for predicting a communication state between the first UE and the second UE based on the joint communication and radar side information, the communication state including a non-line of sight path between the first UE and the second UE; and

means for updating communication transmit parameters to configure a beam pointing towards a target of a plurality of targets for reflecting to the second UE based on the communication state, the communication transmit parameters configuring an increased transmission power and an increased cyclic prefix (CP) length.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , in which the communication transmit parameters configure a decreased modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising means for determining the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a current location of the second UE, a predicted behavior of the second UE, a current location of the first UE, a path loss between the first UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, a path loss between the second UE and each of the plurality of candidate targets, or a reflection coefficient of each of the plurality of candidate targets.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising means for selecting the target from the plurality of candidate targets based on at least one of: a type of the second UE, an activity of the second UE, an activity of the first UE, a type of the first UE, a range of each of the plurality of candidate targets, a Doppler shift associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets, or an angular spread associated with each of the plurality of candidate targets.
