RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-TRP SIDELINK COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18037758 titled 'RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-TRP SIDELINK COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for allocating resources in multi-TRP (Transmit-Receive Point) sidelink communication. This system aims to efficiently manage the transmission of sidelink control information (SCI) and determine available resources for sidelink transmission.
- The system receives signals containing SCI at multiple TRPs of a sidelink device.
- The SCI indicates a resource reservation, which is decoded based on the received signals.
- The system measures the reference signal received power (RSRP) associated with the SCI at each TRP.
- Based on the RSRP measurements, the system determines the available resources for sidelink transmission for a subset of the TRPs.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize sidelink communication, such as cellular networks.
- It can be used in scenarios where multiple TRPs are involved in transmitting and receiving data, such as in vehicle-to-vehicle communication or Internet of Things (IoT) networks.
Problems Solved
- Efficient resource allocation: The system solves the problem of allocating resources for sidelink transmission in multi-TRP communication, ensuring optimal utilization of available resources.
- Reliable decoding of SCI: By measuring RSRP at each TRP, the system ensures accurate decoding of SCI, improving the overall reliability of the communication system.
Benefits
- Improved communication efficiency: By determining available resources based on RSRP measurements, the system optimizes the allocation of resources, leading to improved communication efficiency.
- Enhanced reliability: Accurate decoding of SCI based on RSRP measurements improves the reliability of the communication system, reducing errors and improving overall performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for resource allocation for multi-TRP sidelink communication are provided. An example method includes receiving one or more signals comprising sidelink control information (SCI) at multiple TRPs of the sidelink device, the SCI indicating a resource reservation. The example method further includes decoding the SCI based on the one or more signals measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) associated with the SCI at each of the multiple TRPs. The example method further includes. The example method further includes determining available resources for sidelink transmission for a subset of one or more of the multiple TRPs based on the RSRP.
