SOFT GRANT FOR RESOURCE POOL SHARING IN NEW RADIO (NR) SIDELINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17450019 titled 'SOFT GRANT FOR RESOURCE POOL SHARING IN NEW RADIO (NR) SIDELINK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a wireless communication system that allows for the sharing of a sidelink resource pool using soft grants. This means that certain resources can be allocated to specific transmitting devices for data transmission to receiving devices, but access to these resources is granted conditionally.
- The system supports sharing of a sidelink resource pool between different types of devices.
- A base station can grant sidelink resources to a transmitting device for data transmission to a receiving device.
- The grant may include soft granted resources that can only be accessed after passing re-evaluation.
- The transmitting device must perform re-evaluation and can only use the granted resources if they pass the evaluation.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that require efficient resource allocation for sidelink communication.
- It can be used in scenarios where multiple devices need to share limited resources for transmitting data to specific receiving devices.
Problems Solved
- Efficient resource allocation: The system allows for the sharing of limited resources, ensuring that they are allocated to the most appropriate transmitting devices.
- Conditional access: Soft grants and re-evaluation help ensure that only qualified transmitting devices can access the granted resources, improving overall system performance and fairness.
Benefits
- Improved resource utilization: By sharing the sidelink resource pool, the system optimizes the use of available resources.
- Fairness: The conditional access mechanism ensures that only qualified devices can access the resources, promoting fairness among transmitting devices.
- Enhanced system performance: The re-evaluation process helps maintain the quality of the granted resources, leading to better overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support mechanisms for sharing of a sidelink resource pool using soft grants. A sidelink resource pool may be shared between one or more sidelink mode 1 UEs and one or more sidelink mode 2 UEs. A base station may grant one or more sidelink resources to a mode 1 transmitting UE for transmitting data to a mode 1 receiving UE, and may include an indication that at least one of the one or more sidelink resources granted is a soft granted sidelink resource that may be accessed by the mode 1 transmitting UE only after passing re-evaluation. The mode 1 transmitting UE may perform re-evaluation and may transmit over the at least one sidelink resource only if the at least one sidelink resource passes the re-evaluation.
