==RELAY DISCOVERY WITHIN A SIDELINK GROUPCAST - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260995 titled 'RELAY DISCOVERY WITHIN A SIDELINK GROUPCAST

==Simplified Explanation==

The method described in the abstract involves initiating a HARQ process to transmit a first HARQ message inquiring about the availability of a relay terminal for relaying communication. The process includes transmitting the message, monitoring for HARQ feedback from the relay terminal, and making a decision based on the received feedback.

* Indicating initiation of a HARQ process for transmitting a first HARQ message inquiring about relay terminal availability.
* Transmitting the first HARQ message and monitoring for HARQ feedback from the relay terminal.
* Deciding on the availability of the relay terminal based on the received HARQ feedback.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems where relay terminals are used to enhance coverage or improve signal quality.

== Problems Solved ==
This method helps in efficiently determining the availability of relay terminals for relaying communication, which can optimize the transmission process and improve overall system performance.

== Benefits ==
The method streamlines the relay terminal selection process, leading to better utilization of resources and improved communication reliability in wireless networks.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced wireless communication systems for various industries, such as telecommunications and IoT.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art in the field of wireless communication systems may include methods for relay terminal selection and HARQ processes in data transmission.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this method handle multiple relay terminals responding to the HARQ message? ===
The abstract does not specify how the method deals with scenarios where multiple relay terminals respond to the inquiry simultaneously. This aspect could impact the efficiency and reliability of the relay terminal selection process.

=== What are the potential implications of relay terminal unavailability on the overall communication system performance? ===
The abstract does not elaborate on the consequences of relay terminal unavailability on the system performance. Understanding these implications could provide insights into the system's resilience and reliability in different operational conditions.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

It is provided a method comprising: indicating that a HARQ process is initiated for transmitting at least a first HARQ message comprising an inquiry as the first message of the HARQ process, wherein the inquiry inquires whether a relay terminal for relaying a communication of a transmitting terminal is available; transmitting the first HARQ message using the HARQ process; monitoring whether a HARQ feedback is received from at least one relay terminal in response to the first HARQ message according to the HARQ process; deciding that the at least one relay terminal is available if the HARQ feedback is received from the at least one relay terminal; deciding that the at least one relay terminal is not available if the HARQ feedback is not received from the at least one relay terminal.
