PARTIAL SENSING AND CONGESTION CONTROL FOR LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION

A user equipment (UE) or network device such a vehicle UE (V-UE) or pedestrian UE (P-UE) can configure resources independently for communication with other V-UEs / P-UEs to avoid collision and ensure safety. The UEs can operate to independently monitor and configure their own resources via partial sensing window configurations that can dynamically configured to perform resource (re)selection in response to a resource reselection trigger. An exclusion of detected resources that are reduced or occupied by other devices can be performed, and a resource candidate set generated to select resource candidates for long term evolution (LTE) vehicular communications. UE partial sensing mechanisms and congestion control can be enhanced for these communications via efficient power control and signaling reliance for vehicle communication quality, as well as pedestrian safety.
