PROCEDURES OF SIDELINK RESOURCE POOL RESOURCE USE WITH REDUCED SENSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477377 titled 'PROCEDURES OF SIDELINK RESOURCE POOL RESOURCE USE WITH REDUCED SENSING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discloses systems and methods for optimizing sidelink (SL) resource pool resource use by a user equipment (UE).

• The UE can perform contiguous partial sensing in addition to periodic partial sensing, and make resource selection or re-evaluation based on the time gap between slots with SL data and candidate slots within a resource selection window.
• If the packet delay budget for SL data is above a threshold, the UE can perform contiguous partial sensing without additional periodic partial sensing.
• The UE can also perform periodic partial sensing for resource re-evaluation and pre-emption based on a set of periodicity values.
• Restrictions on random resource selection by the UE are outlined.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Autonomous vehicles
• Smart city infrastructure

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient use of SL resources
• Minimization of packet delay
• Optimization of resource selection and re-evaluation

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved reliability and performance of SL communication
• Enhanced resource management for UEs
• Increased efficiency in utilizing SL resource pool resources

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for sidelink (SL) resource pool resource use by a user equipment (UE) are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, when the UE performs contiguous partial sensing in addition to periodic partial sensing, the UE performs one of resource selection and resource re-evaluation based a size of a time gap between a slot where the UE has SL data and a first slot of periodic-based candidate slots within a resource selection window. In other embodiments, the UE performs contiguous partial sensing without additional periodic partial sensing in the case where a packet delay budget (PDB) for the SL data is greater than a threshold. In some embodiments, the UE performs periodic partial sensing for resource re-evaluation and/or resource pre-emption according to a set of periodicity values P(and optionally period definition data K). Restrictions on the use of random resource selection by the UE are also described.
