DESIGN OF NR SIDELINK TRANSMISSION GAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18005024 Titled 'DESIGN OF NR SIDELINK TRANSMISSION GAP'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes techniques for a wireless network to establish and implement periodic and aperiodic sidelink gaps. This involves a first user equipment (UE) transmitting a sidelink configuration message to indicate its capability to support these gaps. The UE then receives a message indicating whether it is allowed to request a gap based on its capabilities. The UE can then transmit a sidelink information message containing a radio frequency channel number and a list of associated gaps. The UE may also receive an RRC reconfiguration message with an updated gap list.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques described provide for a wireless network to establish and implement periodic and aperiodic sidelink gaps. One implementation may include transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE), a sidelink configuration message. The sidelink configuration message may indicate a capability of the first UE to support a sidelink periodic gap and a sidelink aperiodic gap. A message may be received by the first UE indicating whether the first UE is allowed to request a gap according to one or more of the indicated capabilities. The first UE may transmit a sidelink information message comprising an absolute radio frequency channel number (AR-FCN) and an associated gap list. An RRC reconfiguration message may also be received by the first UE having and updated gap list. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
