METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR L2 SL-BASED UE-TO-NETWORK RELAY OPERATIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18419429 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR L2 SL-BASED UE-TO-NETWORK RELAY OPERATIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for layer 2 (L2) sidelink (SL) based user equipment (UE) to network relay operations in a wireless communication network.

  • The method involves receiving assistance information for a relay operation from a second UE and a short message from a base station (BS).
  • Based on information in the short message, the method acquires system information blocks including an earthquake and tsunami warning system/commercial mobile alert service (ETWS/CMAS) notification for the second UE.
  • The acquired system information blocks are then transmitted to the second UE over a sidelink channel.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for layer 2 (L2) sidelink (SL)-based user equipment (UE)-to-network relay operations in a wireless communication network. A method for operating a first UE includes receiving, from a second UE, a message including assistance information for a relay operation between the first UE and the second UE and receiving, from a base station (BS), a short message. The method further includes acquiring, based on information in the short message, first system information blocks including an earthquake and tsunami warning system/commercial mobile alert service (ETWS/CMAS) notification or second system information blocks for the second UE and transmitting, to the second UE over a sidelink channel, the acquired first system information blocks or the acquired second system information block.
