SIDELINK CHANNEL ACCESS VIA A FLOATING CHANNEL OCCUPANCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877734 titled 'SIDELINK CHANNEL ACCESS VIA A FLOATING CHANNEL OCCUPANCY
Simplified Explanation
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for accessing a sidelink channel using a floating channel occupancy. A cellular device operating near Wi-Fi devices may conditionally support a search space associated with a floating sidelink synchronization signal block (SSB). If the Wi-Fi devices are preventing the cellular device from accessing the channel, the cellular device may enable the use of the search space associated with the floating sidelink SSB. The cellular device can transmit a floating sidelink SSB within the search space independently of slot boundaries after a successful listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure.
- The patent application describes a method for a cellular device to access a sidelink channel using a floating channel occupancy.
- The cellular device can operate near Wi-Fi devices and conditionally support a search space associated with a floating sidelink SSB.
- If the Wi-Fi devices are causing interference, the cellular device can enable the use of the search space associated with the floating sidelink SSB.
- The cellular device can transmit a floating sidelink SSB within the search space independently of slot boundaries after a successful LBT procedure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved channel access for cellular devices operating near Wi-Fi devices.
- Enhanced communication capabilities in environments with high Wi-Fi device density.
- Increased efficiency and reliability of sidelink communication in cellular networks.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Interference caused by Wi-Fi devices preventing cellular devices from accessing the channel.
- Difficulty in acquiring channel access due to Wi-Fi device presence.
- Inefficient sidelink communication in the presence of Wi-Fi devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved overall performance and reliability of cellular networks.
- Enhanced communication capabilities for cellular devices in Wi-Fi dense environments.
- Increased efficiency and effectiveness of sidelink communication in the presence of Wi-Fi devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sidelink channel access via a floating channel occupancy. In some aspects, a cellular device may operate within a proximity of one or more wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) devices and may conditionally support a search space associated with a floating sidelink synchronization signal block (SSB). For example, if the cellular device detects that the Wi-Fi devices are precluding the cellular device from acquiring channel access or otherwise making it relatively more difficult for the cellular device to acquire channel access, the cellular device may enable or active a use of the search space associated with the floating sidelink SSB. If enabled or activated, the cellular device may transmit a floating sidelink SSB within the search space independent of slot boundaries upon a successful listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure.
