USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18261692 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for sidelink communication between two User Equipments (UEs), where the first UE transmits signals to the second UE. The method involves maintaining a counter for periodic reservations associated with sidelink resources, determining a resource re-selection condition based on receiving responses, and reselecting new sidelink resources when the condition is met.

  • Explanation of the patent:
 * Method for sidelink communication between UEs
 * Counter tracks periodic reservations for sidelink signal transmission
 * Resource re-selection based on response status
 * Reselection of new sidelink resources when condition is met
      1. Potential Applications of this Technology:

- Vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Internet of Things (IoT) devices communication

      1. Problems Solved by this Technology:

- Efficient utilization of sidelink resources - Improved reliability of peer-to-peer communication

      1. Benefits of this Technology:

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for sidelink communication is provided. The method is applied to a first UE in a sidelink communication to transmit signals to a second UE which is a peer receiving (peer-Rx) UE of the first UE. The method includes the following steps: maintaining a counter to record how many periodic reservations remain to be used for sidelink signal transmission, wherein the periodic reservations are associated with a reservation period and each periodic reservation is associated with at least one sidelink resource; determining whether a resource re-selection condition is met before the counter counts to 0, wherein the resource re-selection condition is associated with status of receiving responses corresponding to a subset of the sidelink resources; and reselectting at least one new sidelink resource for next periodic reservations when the resource re-selection condition is met.
