METHODS FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272247 titled 'METHODS FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA
Simplified Explanation
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for sidelink communications. In a method for communications, a first terminal device determines from a resource pool configured for the first terminal device, first resources in a time window before a first slot based on a resource selection scheme of the first terminal device. The first terminal device determines a first number of occupied resources in the first resources. The first terminal device determines a congestion level indicator of a sidelink channel for the first slot based at least in part on the first number and a number of the first resources. The sidelink channel is associated with the first terminal device. With the proposed mechanism, the sidelink congestion level indicator, such as, a channel busy ratio (CBR) is determined with consideration of the resource selection scheme and the reception capability of the terminal device. As such, the accuracy of CBR measurement can be improved, which is beneficial to sidelink congestion control and a reduction of the power consumption at the terminal device.
- First terminal device determines resources in advance based on selection scheme
- Calculates congestion level indicator for sidelink channel

Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art in this field is the use of dynamic resource allocation techniques in wireless communication systems to improve resource utilization and network performance.
What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?
The abstract does not provide information on the scalability of the proposed mechanism for large-scale networks or the impact of varying network conditions on the accuracy of the congestion level indicator.
How does this technology compare to existing solutions for sidelink congestion control?
The abstract does not mention a direct comparison with existing solutions for sidelink congestion control, making it difficult to assess the novelty and effectiveness of the proposed mechanism in relation to current practices.
