CHANNEL SENSING INDICATION FROM MAC LAYER TO PHY LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17658430 Titled 'CHANNEL SENSING INDICATION FROM MAC LAYER TO PHY LAYER'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method where one device (first UE) can receive information (SCI) about resource reservations made by another device (second UE). This information is received based on a signal sent from the MAC layer to the PHY layer, which triggers the monitoring of the SCI. The monitoring can be done using a sensing beam, a TCI state, or a spatial relation. The first UE can then transmit a beam to a specific device (target UE) using the resources that were reserved by the second UE.
Original Abstract Submitted
A first UE may receive SCI including one or more resource reservations of a second UE based on an indication from a MAC layer to a PHY layer to monitor for the SCI including the one or more resource reservations of the second UE. The indication from the MAC layer to the PHY layer may trigger at least one of a sensing beam, a TCI state, or a spatial relation. The at least one of the sensing beam, the TCI state, or the spatial relation may be associated with monitoring for the SCI including the one or more resource reservations of the second UE. The first UE may transmit a beam to a target UE on one or more resources that are selected based on the one or more resource reservations of the second UE.
