NETWORK-ASSISTED SIDELINK COMMUNICATION OVER UNLICENSED SPECTRUM
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240414744 titled 'NETWORK-ASSISTED SIDELINK COMMUNICATION OVER UNLICENSED SPECTRUM
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. for example, devices of a wireless communications system may be configured to support various techniques for sidelink communications using an unlicensed spectrum, where such sidelink communications are coordinated at least in part by a network device, such as a base station or entity thereof. in some examples, a base station may determine to offload some sidelink communications to the unlicensed spectrum, which may be based on capability information, system channel loading, application priority, periodicity, or quality of service, among other criteria or combinations thereof. based on such a determination to offload sidelink communications to the unlicensed spectrum, the base station may transmit an indication for one or more user equipments (ues) to attempt to perform sidelink communications using the unlicensed spectrum (e.g., based on an evaluation of an availability of the unlicensed spectrum by a ue initiating sidelink transmissions).
