LBT PROCEDURE FOR SIDELINK OPERATIONS IN UNLICENSED BANDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18027050 Titled 'LBT PROCEDURE FOR SIDELINK OPERATIONS IN UNLICENSED BANDS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for improving the efficiency of LBT (Listen Before Talk) sidelink sensing procedures in wireless devices. The method involves initiating a timer that runs for a minimum duration to sense signals in a channel. The method also includes detecting signals during the sensing procedure and allowing the timer to continue running.
Original Abstract Submitted
To facilitate efficient LBT sidelink sensing procedures, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided. An example method of a sidelink wireless device includes initiating an LBT sidelink sensing procedure including initiating an LBT timer to run for at least a minimum sensing duration in a channel. The example method further includes detecting one or more signals in the channel during the LBT side link sensing procedure. The example method further includes allowing the LBT timer to continue to run.
