  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18192608 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SEMI-STATIC MODE SIDELINK CHANNEL ACCESS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and devices used in a wireless communication system to initiate channel occupancy in a semi-static mode SL (Single Layer) channel access. The user equipment (UE) receives instructions from a higher layer to use the semi-static mode SL channel access. It also receives a set of configurations, including the duration of a period. The UE determines a portion of the period as channel occupancy and another portion as idle duration. During the idle duration, the UE performs a SL channel access procedure. After successfully performing the procedure, the UE transmits a SL transmission over a channel during the channel occupancy period.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for initiating channel occupancy in a semi-static mode SL channel access in a wireless communication system. A method of a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a higher layer, an indication on a semi-static mode SL channel access, receiving a set of configurations for the semi-static mode SL channel access, including a duration of a period and determining a first portion of the period as a channel occupancy associated with the period. The method further includes determining a second portion of the period as an idle duration associated with the period, performing a SL channel access procedure in the idle duration associated with the period, and transmitting a first SL transmission over a channel in the channel occupancy associated with the period after successfully performing the SL channel access procedure.
