METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURATION AND SIGNALING OF SL RESOURCES FOR INTER-UE CO-ORDINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18421669 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURATION AND SIGNALING OF SL RESOURCES FOR INTER-UE CO-ORDINATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for enabling inter-UE co-ordination for a sidelink resource pool in a user equipment (UE). This involves transmitting a signal to activate transmission of co-ordination information, selecting a sidelink resource, and transmitting a sidelink channel on that resource.

  • Receiving configuration message to enable inter-UE co-ordination
  • Determining target UE for sidelink transmission
  • Transmitting signal to activate transmission of co-ordination information
  • Receiving inter-UE co-ordination information
  • Determining candidate sidelink resources based on co-ordination information
  • Selecting a sidelink resource within the determined set
  • Transmitting a sidelink channel on the selected sidelink resource

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems where inter-UE co-ordination is necessary for efficient resource allocation and communication.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient resource allocation in sidelink communication 2. Improved co-ordination between UEs for better communication performance

Benefits

1. Enhanced communication reliability 2. Optimal resource utilization 3. Improved overall network performance

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized in 5G and future wireless communication systems to enhance sidelink communication capabilities.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for resource allocation and co-ordination in wireless communication systems, but specific implementations for inter-UE co-ordination in sidelink resource pools may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle interference between UEs in the sidelink resource pool?

The abstract does not provide details on how interference mitigation is addressed in the inter-UE co-ordination process.

What impact does this method have on battery consumption in UEs?

The abstract does not mention any considerations for power efficiency or battery consumption in UEs during the inter-UE co-ordination process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving a configuration message to enable inter-UE co-ordination for a sidelink (SL) resource pool, determining a target UE for a SL transmission, and transmitting, to the target UE, a signal to activate or trigger transmission of inter-UE co-ordination information. The method further includes receiving the inter-UE co-ordination information, determining a set of candidate SL resources based on the inter-UE co-ordination information, selecting a SL resource within the determined set, and transmitting a SL channel on the SL resource.
