METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SEMI-STATIC MODE SIDELINK CHANNEL ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18192608 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SEMI-STATIC MODE SIDELINK CHANNEL ACCESS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes methods and devices used in a wireless communication system to initiate channel occupancy in a semi-static mode SL (Single Layer) channel access. The method involves a user equipment (UE) receiving instructions from a higher layer to use the semi-static mode SL channel access. The UE also receives a set of configurations for this mode, including the duration of a period. The method then determines a portion of this period as channel occupancy, during which the UE will transmit data. Another portion of the period is determined as an idle duration, during which the UE can perform other tasks. The UE then performs a SL channel access procedure during the idle duration and transmits a first SL transmission over a channel during the channel occupancy period, after successfully completing the channel access procedure.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for initiating channel occupancy in a semi-static mode SL channel access in a wireless communication system. A method of a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a higher layer, an indication on a semi-static mode SL channel access, receiving a set of configurations for the semi-static mode SL channel access, including a duration of a period and determining a first portion of the period as a channel occupancy associated with the period. The method further includes determining a second portion of the period as an idle duration associated with the period, performing a SL channel access procedure in the idle duration associated with the period, and transmitting a first SL transmission over a channel in the channel occupancy associated with the period after successfully performing the SL channel access procedure.
