SENSING FOR USER EQUIPMENT (UE) SUPPORTING SIDELINK DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (SL-DRX) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17439772 titled 'SENSING FOR USER EQUIPMENT (UE) SUPPORTING SIDELINK DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (SL-DRX)

Simplified Explanation

This patent application is about managing power consumption of a user equipment (UE) in a 5G wireless communications system that supports sidelink discontinuous reception (SL-DRX). The UE determines a candidate slot for sending a signal based on data sensed in different periods over a history window. The system includes a processor that determines a set of candidate slots that are sufficiently sensed based on the sensed periods over the history window. The processor also determines a subset of candidate slots based on an occupancy threshold over the history window. From this subset, the processor selects a candidate slot and transmits a first signal through the selected slot via the transceiver.

Original Abstract Submitted

Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for managing power consumption of a user equipment (UE) supporting sidelink discontinuous reception (SL-DRX) in a 5G wireless communications system. A UE determines a candidate slot for sending a signal based on data sensed in various periods over a history window. Some embodiments include a processor that can determine set of candidate slots that are sufficiently sensed based on sensed periods over a history window, and determine a subset of candidate slots of the set of candidate slots based at least on an occupancy threshold over the history window. The processor can select a candidate slot from the subset of candidate slots, and transmit via the transceiver, a first signal via the selected candidate slot.
