TRANSMITTING RECEIVING BEAM SCHEDULES TO SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17444257 titled 'TRANSMITTING RECEIVING BEAM SCHEDULES TO SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENTS

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

The abstract describes a patent application related to wireless communication. It discusses the transmission of sidelink control information (SCI) between two user equipment (UE) devices. The first UE device transmits a receiving (Rx) beam schedule to the second UE device, indicating the Rx beams associated with the first UE device in a set of slots. The Rx beam schedule informs the second UE device that the first UE device is configured to tune to the Rx beams in the set of slots for possible sidelink receptions. The first UE device then receives a sidelink transmission from the second UE device using one of the Rx beams indicated in the Rx beam schedule.

Bullet Points

  • First UE device transmits Rx beam schedule to second UE device via sidelink control information (SCI)
  • Rx beam schedule indicates Rx beams associated with the first UE device in a set of slots
  • First UE device configures itself to tune to the Rx beams in the set of slots for possible sidelink receptions
  • Second UE device sends sidelink transmission to first UE device using one of the Rx beams indicated in the Rx beam schedule

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, IoT devices, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
  • It can improve the efficiency and reliability of sidelink communications between user equipment devices.
  • The technology can be used in scenarios where direct communication between devices is required without relying on the main network infrastructure.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently coordinating sidelink communications between user equipment devices.
  • It addresses the challenge of ensuring that the receiving UE device is properly configured to receive sidelink transmissions from the transmitting UE device.
  • The technology helps in optimizing the use of resources and reducing interference in sidelink communications.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability and efficiency of sidelink communications.
  • Enhanced coordination and synchronization between user equipment devices.
  • Increased flexibility and adaptability in configuring sidelink communications.
  • Reduced interference and improved overall performance of wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first sidelink user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second sidelink UE via sidelink control information (SCI), a receiving (Rx) beam schedule indicating Rx beams associated with the first sidelink UE in a set of slots, wherein the Rx beam schedule indicates that the first sidelink UE is configured to tune to the Rx beams in the set of slots for possible sidelink receptions. The first sidelink UE may receive, from the second sidelink UE, a sidelink transmission using an Rx beam indicated in the Rx beam schedule. Numerous other aspects are described.
