Resource Allocation Slot Aggregation Aspects - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18111004 titled 'Resource Allocation Slot Aggregation Aspects

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that can determine if time slots associated with different carrier spacings overlap and perform sensing based on this determination.

  • The circuitry can determine if a resource pool of time slots associated with a higher frequency carrier spacing overlaps with a resource pool of a frame associated with a lower frequency carrier spacing.
  • Sensing is then performed on at least one time slot based on the overlap within a period of time.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Ability to detect overlap between resource pools of different carrier spacings.
  • Efficient sensing based on the detected overlap within a specific time frame.

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to: determine whether a resource pool of a group of time slots associated with a first carrier spacing overlaps with a resource pool of a frame associated with a second carrier spacing within a period of time; wherein the first carrier spacing has a higher frequency than the second carrier spacing, and the period of time comprises the group of time slots associated with the first carrier spacing and the frame associated with the second carrier spacing; and perform sensing of at least one time slot of the group of time slots, based on whether the resource pool of the group of time slots associated with the first carrier spacing overlaps with the resource pool of the frame associated with the second carrier spacing within the period of time.
