HANDLING AN EVENT IN A SIDELINK GROUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349310 titled 'HANDLING AN EVENT IN A SIDELINK GROUP

Simplified Explanation: The method described in the patent application involves transmitting data for a groupcast to a group of terminal devices outside of a sidelink discontinuous reception cycle, using a configuration of a resource associated with sidelink data transmission.

Receiving a configuration of a resource for sidelink data transmission for a groupcast
Obtaining data related to an event to be transmitted for the groupcast
Transmitting a notification regarding the event outside the sidelink discontinuous reception cycle
Transmitting the data for the groupcast

Key Features and Innovation:

Utilizes a resource configuration for sidelink data transmission for groupcast communication
Enables transmission of event notifications outside of a sidelink discontinuous reception cycle
Facilitates efficient data transmission to a group of terminal devices

Potential Applications:

Group communication in scenarios such as emergency alerts or public announcements
Broadcasting of live events or updates to multiple devices simultaneously
Coordinated data sharing among a specific group of users

Problems Solved:

Efficient and timely group communication outside of regular sidelink reception cycles
Improved coordination and synchronization of data transmission for groupcasts
Enhanced reliability and reach of groupcast transmissions

Benefits:

Increased efficiency in group communication through optimized resource allocation
Enhanced reliability and timeliness of event notifications for groupcasts
Improved user experience with synchronized data transmission to multiple devices

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in various industries such as emergency services, broadcasting, and public safety for efficient group communication and data sharing. It can also be utilized in live event broadcasting and content distribution platforms to enhance user engagement and reach.

Questions about Sidelink Data Transmission: 1. How does the method ensure efficient data transmission for groupcasts outside of a sidelink discontinuous reception cycle? 2. What are the potential implications of using a resource configuration for sidelink data transmission in group communication scenarios?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of sidelink communication protocols and resource allocation techniques can further enhance the efficiency and reliability of groupcast transmissions using the method described in the patent application.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method comprising receiving a configuration of a resource associated with sidelink data transmission for a groupcast to a group of terminal devices from an anchoring terminal device, wherein the sidelink data transmission for the groupcast occurs outside an on-duration of a sidelink discontinuous reception cycle, obtaining data related to an event that is to be transmitted for the groupcast, transmitting, outside the on-duration of the sidelink discontinuous reception cycle, a first indication comprising a notification regarding the event using the resource, and transmitting the data for the groupcast.
