MODE 2 RESOURCE SELECTION ENHANCEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18360281 titled 'MODE 2 RESOURCE SELECTION ENHANCEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a user equipment (UE) or network device to operate in a new radio (NR) unlicensed network by correlating resource selection with shared spectrum channel access. The device performs resource selection procedures within a resource selection window (RSW) to determine a set of candidate resources and clear channel assessment (CCA). A resource selection is then performed from the candidate resources to enable sidelink (SL) communication, with CCA initiating after certain events.

• User equipment or network device can operate in a new radio unlicensed network
• Resource selection procedures are performed within a resource selection window
• Set of candidate resources and clear channel assessment are determined
• Resource selection enables sidelink communication
• Clear channel assessment initiates after specific events

1. 1. 1. Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE), a baseband processor or other network device can operate in a new radio (NR) unlicensed network to correlate resource selection with shared spectrum channel access. The device can perform a resource selection procedures within a resource selection window (RSW) to determine a set of candidate resources, and a clear channel assessment (CCA). A resource selection of one or more resources can be performed from the set of candidate resources to enable a sidelink (SL) communication. The CCA initiates after an aperiodic traffic arrival, after a previous transmission, or after the resource selection is completed.
