STARTING POSITION CONTROL IN CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME FOR NEW RADIO SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455898 titled 'STARTING POSITION CONTROL IN CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME FOR NEW RADIO SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes wireless communication systems and methods for transmitting control information. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A first user equipment (UE) receives an indicator from a base station (BS) that indicates a set of start times for a transmission opportunity.
  • The first UE performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to determine if it can use the transmission opportunity.
  • If the LBT procedure is successful, the first UE transmits a communication to a second UE starting at a selected start time from the set of start times.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems that require efficient transmission of control information.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need to communicate with each other or with a central control unit.
  • Mobile networks where multiple UEs need to share limited transmission resources.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient utilization of transmission opportunities by allowing UEs to perform a LBT procedure before transmitting.
  • Avoiding collisions and interference between UEs by selecting start times based on the LBT procedure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and efficiency of wireless communication systems.
  • Reduced interference and collisions between UEs, leading to better overall network performance.
  • Enhanced coordination and resource allocation in wireless networks.


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), an indicator indicating a set of start times associated with a transmission opportunity, performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for the transmission opportunity, and transmitting, to a second UE, a communication starting at a selected start time of the set of start times based on the LBT procedure being successful.
