SCRAMBLING SIDELINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN SIDELINK COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17643122 titled 'SCRAMBLING SIDELINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN SIDELINK COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for scrambling sidelink control information (SCI) in wireless communication. The scrambling process involves scrambling the cyclic redundancy check (CRC), information bits, and channel bits of the SCI.

  • The patent application focuses on scrambling SCI for sidelink communication in wireless networks.
  • The scrambling process includes scrambling CRC, information bits, and channel bits of the SCI.
  • The method involves scrambling at least a portion of the SCI and transmitting it for a sidelink transmission.
  • The method also includes receiving SCI with scrambled bits and decoding it based on known information at the user equipment (UE).

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize sidelink communication.
  • It can be used in various wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, etc., that support sidelink communication.
  • The scrambling of SCI can enhance the security and reliability of sidelink communication in wireless networks.

Problems Solved

  • Scrambling the SCI helps to protect the control information transmitted over the sidelink from unauthorized access or interference.
  • By scrambling the CRC, information bits, and channel bits, the system ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the SCI.
  • The decoding process based on known information at the UE allows for accurate retrieval of the original control information.

Benefits

  • Enhanced security: Scrambling the SCI adds an extra layer of security to the control information transmitted over the sidelink.
  • Improved reliability: By scrambling the SCI, the system reduces the risk of unauthorized access or interference, leading to more reliable communication.
  • Efficient decoding: The decoding process based on known information at the UE ensures accurate retrieval of the control information, improving overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating scrambling of sidelink control information for sidelink communication are disclosed herein. The scrambling of the SCI may include scrambling CRC, scrambling information bits, and/or scrambling channel bits. An example method for wireless communication at a user equipment UE includes scrambling at least a portion of SCI. The example method also includes transmitting the SCI carrying control information for a sidelink transmission. In another aspect, an example method for wireless communication at a UE includes receiving SCI having scrambled bits. The example method also includes decoding the SCI based on information known to the UE.
