USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18261692 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for sidelink communication between two User Equipments (UEs), where the first UE transmits signals to the second UE. The method involves maintaining a counter for periodic reservations associated with sidelink resources, determining a resource re-selection condition based on receiving responses, and reselecting new sidelink resources when the condition is met.
- Explanation of the patent:

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for sidelink communication is provided. The method is applied to a first UE in a sidelink communication to transmit signals to a second UE which is a peer receiving (peer-Rx) UE of the first UE. The method includes the following steps: maintaining a counter to record how many periodic reservations remain to be used for sidelink signal transmission, wherein the periodic reservations are associated with a reservation period and each periodic reservation is associated with at least one sidelink resource; determining whether a resource re-selection condition is met before the counter counts to 0, wherein the resource re-selection condition is associated with status of receiving responses corresponding to a subset of the sidelink resources; and reselectting at least one new sidelink resource for next periodic reservations when the resource re-selection condition is met.
