RESOURCE SELECTION IN SIDE LINK (SL) COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098764 titled 'RESOURCE SELECTION IN SIDE LINK (SL) COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for resource selection in sidelink communications, where a wireless communication device performs channel sensing, receives resource coordination messages, and selects resources for transmission based on available resources.

  • Wireless communication device (WCD) performs channel sensing of a channel for sidelink transmission.
  • WCD determines available resources based on channel sensing results.
  • WCD receives resource coordination messages from neighboring WCDs.
  • WCD determines available resources for neighboring WCDs based on received messages.
  • WCD selects resources for sidelink transmission based on available resources.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various scenarios where direct communication between devices is required without the need for a central network infrastructure. Some potential applications include:

  • Emergency communication systems
  • Vehicle-to-vehicle communication
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices in close proximity

Problems Solved

This technology solves the following problems:

  • Efficient resource selection for direct device-to-device communication
  • Minimizing interference and optimizing resource allocation in sidelink communications

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved reliability and efficiency in direct communication between devices
  • Enhanced coordination among neighboring devices for resource allocation
  • Increased capacity and throughput in sidelink communications

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Smart city infrastructure for connected devices
  • Industrial IoT applications for machine-to-machine communication
  • Public safety and emergency response systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field is the use of carrier sensing techniques in wireless networks to detect channel availability before transmitting data. This technology builds upon such concepts by incorporating resource coordination messages from neighboring devices to optimize resource selection for sidelink communications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle dynamic changes in channel conditions during transmission?

The abstract does not provide details on how the method adapts to changing channel conditions in real-time to ensure reliable communication.

What impact does the number of neighboring devices have on resource selection and coordination?

The abstract does not address how the method scales with an increasing number of neighboring devices and the potential impact on resource selection and coordination.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are disclosed for resource selection in sidelink communications. in one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device (wcd) for resource selection for a sidelink transmission comprises performing channel sensing of a channel to be used for sidelink transmission, determining a first set of resources that are available or not available from a perspective of the wcd based on results of performing the channel sensing, receiving one or more resource coordination messages from one or more neighboring wcds, determining one or more second set of resources that are available or not available from perspectives of the one or more neighboring wcds based on information comprised in the one or more resource coordination messages, and performing resource selection for a sidelink transmission based on the first set of resources and the one or more second sets of resources.
