RESOURCE SELECTION IN SIDE LINK (SL) COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271120 titled 'RESOURCE SELECTION IN SIDE LINK (SL) COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for resource selection in sidelink communications, where a wireless communication device performs channel sensing, determines available resources, receives resource coordination messages from neighboring devices, and selects resources for transmission based on the available resources.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- Wireless communication device performs channel sensing to determine available resources for sidelink transmission. - Device receives resource coordination messages from neighboring devices to gather information on their available resources. - Based on the results of channel sensing and information from neighboring devices, the device selects resources for sidelink transmission.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various scenarios where devices need to communicate directly with each other without going through a central network, such as in vehicle-to-vehicle communication, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and emergency communication systems.

Problems Solved

- Efficient resource selection for sidelink communications. - Improved coordination between neighboring devices. - Enhanced reliability and performance of direct device-to-device communication.

Benefits

- Increased reliability and efficiency in sidelink communications. - Optimal resource allocation for better network performance. - Enhanced communication capabilities in crowded or interference-prone environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimized Resource Selection for Sidelink Communications" can find applications in industries such as automotive (for vehicle-to-vehicle communication), smart cities (for IoT devices), public safety (for emergency communication systems), and telecommunications (for improved network efficiency).

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field is the use of carrier sensing techniques in wireless networks to detect channel availability before transmitting data. Another prior art could be the use of resource allocation algorithms in cellular networks to optimize resource usage among multiple users.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle interference in crowded environments?

This technology may utilize interference mitigation techniques such as frequency hopping, power control, or beamforming to minimize the impact of interference on sidelink communications.

What is the impact of mobility on resource selection in sidelink communications?

The technology may incorporate mobility prediction algorithms to anticipate changes in resource availability due to device movement and adjust resource selection accordingly to maintain communication reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are disclosed for resource selection in sidelink communications. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device (WCD) for resource selection for a sidelink transmission comprises performing channel sensing of a channel to be used for sidelink transmission, determining a first set of resources that are available or not available from a perspective of the WCD based on results of performing the channel sensing, receiving one or more resource coordination messages from one or more neighboring WCDs, determining one or more second set of resources that are available or not available from perspectives of the one or more neighboring WCDs based on information comprised in the one or more resource coordination messages, and performing resource selection for a sidelink transmission based on the first set of resources and the one or more second sets of resources.
