APPLICATION SPECIFIC WAKE UP SIGNALS FOR SIDELINK SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098840 titled 'APPLICATION SPECIFIC WAKE UP SIGNALS FOR SIDELINK SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method where one user equipment (UE) wakes up another UE to request information using a sidelink wake up signal (SL-WUS) in a specific configuration. The second UE is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode and wakes up to receive the SL-WUS and transmit the requested information back to the first UE.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:
 * First UE wakes up second UE using SL-WUS.
 * Second UE is in DRX mode.
 * First UE transmits SL-WUS on a configured resource.
 * Selection of SL-WUS sequence or configured resource indicates type of information requested.
 * Second UE wakes up, receives SL-WUS, and transmits requested information.
 * First UE receives requested information.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in scenarios where devices need to communicate efficiently and quickly, such as in IoT networks, emergency response systems, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient wake-up and communication between UEs. 2. Optimized use of resources in DRX mode.

Benefits

1. Faster information exchange between devices. 2. Reduced power consumption due to optimized wake-up mechanisms.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Efficient Sidelink Wake-Up Signal for IoT Networks"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to wake-up signals and communication protocols in wireless networks, but specific details would need to be researched further.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life of the devices involved?

The technology aims to optimize wake-up mechanisms, potentially leading to reduced power consumption, but the exact impact on battery life would depend on various factors such as the frequency of communication and the specific devices involved.

What are the potential security implications of using SL-WUS for communication between UEs?

The use of SL-WUS for communication could introduce vulnerabilities if not properly secured. It would be essential to investigate how the technology addresses security concerns and potential risks associated with unauthorized access to the communication channel.


Original Abstract Submitted

a first user equipment (ue) wakes up a second ue to request information using an application specific sidelink wake up signal (sl-wus). the first ue determines a sidelink configuration of the second ue that is configured with a discontinuous reception (drx) mode. the first ue transmits the sl-wus on a configured resource monitored by the second ue during the drx mode. a selection of a sequence of the sl-wus or a selection of the configured resource indicates a type of information requested by the first ue. the second ue receives the sl-wus, wakes up during a drx on duration, and transmits the requested information. the first ue receives the type of information requested by the first ue.
