User Equipment (UE) and Methods for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Sidelink Communication in Accordance with a Short Transmission Time Interval (TTI) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18383360 titled 'User Equipment (UE) and Methods for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Sidelink Communication in Accordance with a Short Transmission Time Interval (TTI)

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are described in this patent application. The UE can select a short transmission time interval (TTI) for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmission. Short TTIs may occur within a legacy TTI and can be allocated for V2V sidelink transmissions by non-legacy UEs. Legacy TTIs may be allocated for V2V sidelink transmissions by legacy UEs. The UE can transmit a legacy physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) in accordance with the legacy TTI to indicate the V2V sidelink transmission to legacy UEs. Additionally, the UE can transmit a short PSCCH (sPSCCH) in accordance with the selected short TTI to indicate the V2V sidelink transmission to non-legacy UEs.

  • Short TTIs selected for V2V sidelink transmission
  • Allocation of short TTIs for non-legacy UEs
  • Legacy TTIs allocated for legacy UEs
  • Transmission of legacy PSCCH for legacy UEs
  • Transmission of short PSCCH for non-legacy UEs

Potential Applications: - V2V communication systems - Intelligent transportation systems - Automotive safety applications

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may select, from a plurality of short transmission time intervals (TTIs), a short TTI for a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmission by the UE. The short TTIs may occur within a legacy TTL. The short TTIs may be allocated for V2V sidelink transmissions by nonlegacy UEs. The legacy TTI may be allocated for V2V sidelink transmissions by legacy UEs. The UE may transmit, in accordance with the legacy TTI, a legacy physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) to indicate, to legacy UEs, the V2V sidelink transmission by the UE. The UE may transmit, in accordance with the selected short TTI, a short PSCCH (sPSCCH) to indicate, to non-legacy UEs, the V2V sidelink transmission by the UE.
