CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME RESOURCE RESERVATION AND SELECTION FOR NEW RADIO SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455391 titled 'CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME RESOURCE RESERVATION AND SELECTION FOR NEW RADIO SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes wireless communication systems and methods for transmitting control information. Here are the key points:
- The method involves a first sidelink user equipment (UE) receiving a resource pool (RP) configuration from a base station (BS). The RP configuration indicates the resources in a licensed frequency band that are reserved for sidelink control information (SCI).
- The first UE then transmits the SCI to a second sidelink UE using the reserved resources. The SCI includes the starting position of channel occupancy time (COT) resources in an unlicensed frequency band.
- Additionally, the first UE transmits a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to the second UE using the COT resources in the unlicensed frequency band.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize sidelink communication, where devices communicate directly with each other without going through a base station.
- It can be used in various scenarios such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication, device-to-device communication, or Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
- The technology can enable efficient and reliable transmission of control information in sidelink communication, improving the overall performance of wireless networks.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently transmitting control information in sidelink communication, where devices need to exchange important information without relying on the base station.
- By reserving specific resources in licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, the method ensures that control information is transmitted reliably and without interference.
- The use of RP configuration and COT resources helps in organizing and coordinating the transmission of control information between sidelink UEs.
Benefits of this technology:
- The technology improves the reliability and efficiency of control information transmission in sidelink communication.
- It enables better coordination between sidelink UEs, ensuring that important control information is accurately received and processed.
- By utilizing both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, the method provides flexibility in resource allocation and enhances the overall performance of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating control information are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE) may include receiving, from a base station (BS), a resource pool (RP) configuration that indicates resources in a licensed frequency band reserved for sidelink control information (SCI), transmitting, to a second sidelink UE, the SCI in the reserved resources, wherein the SCI includes a starting position of channel occupancy time (COT) resources in an unlicensed frequency band, and transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) via the COT resources in the unlicensed frequency band.
