SIDELINK SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK DESIGNS FOR SHARED SPECTRUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17730969 Titled 'SIDELINK SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK DESIGNS FOR SHARED SPECTRUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains how a first user equipment (UE) can access a shared spectrum for communicating with a second UE. The first UE can transmit a signal to the second UE using specific sub-bands of the shared spectrum. The signal includes sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs) that are multiplexed with frequency resources associated with a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The S-SSBs are transmitted during specific symbol periods of a transmission time interval (TTI), preceded by at least four initial symbol periods. The first UE can also transmit a sidelink control information (SCI) message to indicate which sub-bands include the S-SSBs.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may perform a channel access procedure to gain access to a bandwidth part in a shared spectrum for sidelink communications with a second UE. The first UE may transmit a signal to the second UE using one or more sub-bands of the bandwidth part, and the signal may include one or more sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs) multiplexed with frequency resources associated with a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The one or more S-SSBs may be transmitted using a set of symbol periods of a transmission time interval (TTI) (e.g., a slot) that are preceded by a least four initial symbol periods of the TTI. In some examples, the first UE may transmit a sidelink control information (SCI) message indicating which of the one or more sub-bands include the one or more S-SSBs.
