TECHNIQUES FOR SIDELINK MINI-SLOT ASSIGNMENT AND USE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17886961 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SIDELINK MINI-SLOT ASSIGNMENT AND USE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on sidelink communication between user equipment (UE).
- User equipment (UE) receives control signaling indicating a set of sidelink shared resources, a threshold quantity of mini-slot reservations, and an indication of a sidelink transmission mode of operation.
- Each slot of the set of sidelink shared resources may include multiple mini-slots.
- The UE transmits sidelink control information to other sidelink UEs, reserving a set of mini-slots of a first slot to satisfy the threshold quantity of mini-slot reservations.
- The UE transmits sidelink signaling to the other sidelink UEs via the set of mini-slots according to the specified sidelink transmission mode of operation.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing communication reliability and efficiency in wireless networks.
- Facilitating direct communication between nearby devices without relying on the cellular network.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Managing and optimizing the allocation of shared resources for sidelink communication.
- Ensuring that the threshold quantity of mini-slot reservations is satisfied for efficient data transmission.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved communication performance in dense wireless environments.
- Enhanced coordination and resource allocation for sidelink communication.
- Increased flexibility and efficiency in utilizing sidelink shared resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a set of sidelink shared resources of a sidelink shared resource pool, a threshold quantity of mini-slot reservations for the set of sidelink shared resources, and an indication of a sidelink transmission mode of operation, where each slot of one or more slots of the set of sidelink shared resources may include multiple mini-slots. The UE may transmit to one or more sidelink UEs, sidelink control information that may include a reservation of a set of mini-slots of a first slot of the multiple slots, where the quantity of the set of mini-slots satisfies the threshold quantity of mini-slot reservations. The UE may transmit sidelink signaling to the one or more sidelink UEs, via the set of mini-slots according to the sidelink transmission mode of operation associated with the set of mini-slots.
