This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446784 titled 'SIDELINK COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for sidelink communication.

  • Sidelink communication involves direct communication between two devices without going through a base station.
  • The method involves a first communication device receiving control information from a second communication device.
  • The first communication device starts a timer based on a feedback resource, which is used for transmitting feedback or data scheduled by the control information.
  • The first communication device also starts or skips starting a second timer based on the first timer.
  • This method allows the first communication device to efficiently manage its sidelink communication and power usage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sidelink communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A first communication device receives sidelink control information from a second communication device. The first communication device starts a first timer based on an SL HARQ feedback resource, where the SL HARQ feedback resource is used for transmitting a HARQ feedback of the sidelink control information or SL data scheduled by using the sidelink control information. The first communication device starts or skips starting a second timer based on the first timer. According to the method of embodiments of this application, the first communication device can start the first timer and the second timer associated with SL DRX.
