SIDELINK COMMUNICATION ON UNLICENSED CARRIERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18673475 titled 'SIDELINK COMMUNICATION ON UNLICENSED CARRIERS
Simplified Explanation: This patent application pertains to systems and methods for wireless communication, specifically focusing on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure in an unlicensed carrier for sidelink transmission.
- First user device performs a LBT procedure in an unlicensed carrier for sidelink transmission.
- Determines the result of the LBT procedure.
- Transmits a sidelink signal on a channel in the unlicensed carrier to a second user device upon a successful LBT result.
- Sends a LBT failure indication to a medium access control (MAC) layer entity of the first user device upon a failed LBT result.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient sidelink transmission is crucial, such as in IoT devices, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and industrial automation.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of ensuring successful communication in unlicensed carriers by implementing a reliable LBT procedure to avoid interference and collisions.
Benefits: - Improved reliability of sidelink transmission - Enhanced communication efficiency in unlicensed carriers - Reduced chances of interference and collisions
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in IoT networks, smart city infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, and industrial IoT applications to enable seamless and reliable wireless communication.
Questions about Wireless Communication: 1. How does the LBT procedure help in improving the efficiency of wireless communication? 2. What are the potential challenges faced in implementing sidelink transmission in unlicensed carriers?
Original Abstract Submitted
This document generally relates to a systems, apparatus, devices, and methods for wireless communication. In an implementation, a first user device: performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure in an unlicensed carrier for a sidelink transmission; determines a result of the LBT procedure; in response to determining that the result is a LBT success, transmits a sidelink signal on a channel in the unlicensed carrier to a second user device; and in response to determining that the result is a LBT failure, a physical layer entity of the first user device sends a LBT failure indication to a medium access control (MAC) layer entity of the first user device.
