Abstract

A first apparatus may receive, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel; send, to a second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and send data to the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel. A second apparatus may receive, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel; receive, from a second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and receive data from the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel.

Claims (54)

1. A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel and further indicating a first identifier associated with the first UE and a second identifier associated with a second UE;

sending, to the second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and

sending data to the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the communication on the data channel indicates at least one of:

a modulation and coding scheme (MCS),

information associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the data channel,

a second set of resources allocated on the data channel, or

an index associated with a beam for the communication on the data channel.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the index associated with the beam for the communication on the data channel comprises a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state, and wherein the TCI state is based on beam training between the first UE and the second UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the second control channel comprises a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and the data channel comprises a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first time gap occurs between the receiving on the first control channel and the sending based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, and a second time gap occurs between the sending based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel and the sending the data on the data channel, and wherein the first time gap is longer than the second time gap.

6. A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel and further indicating a first identifier associated with the first UE and a second identifier associated with a second UE;

receiving, from the second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and

receiving data from the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information associated with the communication on the data channel indicates at least one of:

a modulation and coding scheme (MCS),

information associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the data channel,

a second set of resources allocated on the data channel, or

a first index associated with a first beam for the communication on the data channel.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the index associated with the beam for the communication on the data channel comprises a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state, and the method further comprising:

determining a second index of a second beam for receiving the data on the data channel based on the TCI state and based on beam training between the first UE and the second UE.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first control channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the second control channel comprises a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and the data channel comprises a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein a first time gap occurs between the receiving on the first control channel and the receiving based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, and a second time gap occurs between the receiving based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel and the receiving the data on the data channel, and wherein the first time gap is longer than the second time gap.

11. A first user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel and further indicating a first identifier associated with the first UE and a second identifier associated with a second UE;

send, to the second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and

send data to the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel.

12. The first UE of claim 11 , wherein the information associated with the communication on the data channel indicates at least one of:

a modulation and coding scheme (MCS),

information associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the data channel,

a second set of resources allocated on the data channel, or

an index associated with a beam for the communication on the data channel.

13. The first UE of claim 12 , wherein the index associated with the beam for the communication on the data channel comprises a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state, and wherein the TCI state is based on beam training between the first UE and the second UE.

14. The first UE of claim 11 , wherein the first control channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the second control channel comprises a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and the data channel comprises a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

15. The first UE of claim 11 , wherein a first time gap occurs between the receiving on the first control channel and the sending based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, and a second time gap occurs between the sending based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel and the sending the data on the data channel, and wherein the first time gap is longer than the second time gap.

16. A first user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive, on a first control channel, information indicating a first set of resources allocated on a second control channel and further indicating a first identifier associated with the first UE and a second identifier associated with a second UE;

receive, from the second UE based on the first set of resources allocated on the second control channel, information associated with communication on a data channel; and

receive data from the second UE on the data channel based on the information associated with the communication on the data channel.

17. The first UE of claim 16 , wherein the information associated with the communication on the data channel indicates at least one of:

a modulation and coding scheme (MCS),

information associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the data channel,

a second set of resources allocated on the data channel, or
