SIDELINK REPEATING OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17530322 titled 'SIDELINK REPEATING OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes techniques for improving the reliability of sidelink communication by using an assisting node, such as a smart repeater or relay. The assisting node is configured by a network entity to repeat sidelink communications between two or more user equipments (UEs).

  • An assisting node is used to enhance sidelink communication reliability.
  • The assisting node receives information from the network entity about available resources for sidelink communications between UEs.
  • The assisting node is configured to repeat sidelink communications between UEs over the indicated resources.
  • The assisting node repeats sidelink communications according to the received configuration.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the reliability of sidelink communication between UEs.
  • It can be used in scenarios where direct communication between UEs is challenging due to distance or obstacles.
  • The technology can be utilized in IoT (Internet of Things) networks to ensure reliable communication between devices.

Problems Solved

  • Sidelink communication between UEs can be unreliable, especially in scenarios with weak signal strength or interference.
  • Direct communication between UEs may not be possible due to distance or obstacles.
  • The technology solves these problems by introducing an assisting node that repeats sidelink communications, improving reliability and overcoming distance or obstacle limitations.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability of sidelink communication between UEs.
  • Enhanced coverage and range of sidelink communication.
  • Increased flexibility in establishing reliable communication between UEs.
  • Enables efficient and reliable communication in IoT networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for sidelink repeating operations, such as by using an assisting node (e.g., a smart repeater, relay, or reflector) to enhance sidelink communication reliability. For example, one or more assisting nodes may be configured by a network entity and repeat sidelink communications for two or more user equipments (UEs). In aspects, an assisting node may receive, from the network entity, an indication of resources available for sidelink communications between a first UE and a second UE. The assisting node may also receive signaling that configures the assisting node to repeat sidelink communications between the first and the second UEs over the indicated resources. The assisting node then repeats sidelink communications between the first and the second UEs according to the received signaling.
