Methods and Apparatus for Connection Setup of Sidelink Relays - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157210 titled 'Methods and Apparatus for Connection Setup of Sidelink Relays
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method implemented by a first User Equipment (UE) for setting up a sidelink communication between two UEs. The method involves receiving a setup request from a second UE, sending a relay UE setup request to an access node, receiving a relay UE setup response from the access node, and sending a setup response to the second UE.
- The method enables the establishment of a sidelink communication between two UEs.
- The first UE receives a setup request from the second UE, indicating the desire to establish a sidelink.
- The first UE sends a relay UE setup request to an access node, requesting the setup of a relay UE for the sidelink.
- The first UE receives a relay UE setup response from the access node, indicating the successful setup of the relay UE.
- The first UE sends a setup response to the second UE, confirming the establishment of the sidelink.
Potential Applications
- This method can be used in wireless communication systems to enable direct communication between UEs without relying on the network infrastructure.
- It can be applied in scenarios where UEs need to establish a direct communication link for specific purposes, such as sharing data or coordinating actions.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of setting up a sidelink communication between UEs in a wireless network.
- It eliminates the need for the UEs to rely solely on the network infrastructure for communication, providing a more direct and efficient communication method.
Benefits
- The method allows for the establishment of a sidelink communication between UEs, enabling direct and efficient communication.
- It reduces the reliance on the network infrastructure, potentially improving communication reliability and reducing latency.
- The method provides a flexible and scalable solution for UEs to establish direct communication links as needed.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method implemented by a first user equipment (UE) includes receiving, by the first UE from a second UE, a first sidelink message including a UE to network relay setup request to setup a sidelink between the first UE and the second UE; sending, by the first UE to an access node, a relay UE setup request; receiving, by the first UE from the access node, a relay UE setup response; and sending, by the first UE to the second UE, a second sidelink message including a UE to network relay setup response.
