Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In an FDD system, a UE may identify an indicator associated with ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) while communicating in a sidelink channel. The UE may also identify dedicated uplink resources in the sidelink channel, and reserve the dedicated uplink resources. The dedicated uplink resources may be reserved for an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback or for a scheduling request (SR). URLLC data may be communicated, and the reserved uplink resources may be utilized to transmit an ACK/NACK feedback or a SR. In a TDD system, a base station may transmit information identifying dedicated resources for URLLC data. In some cases, a base station may transmit an indicator channel, which a sidelink UE may monitor to determine the presence of URLLC data, and respond accordingly.

Claims (43)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

identifying an indicator associated with wireless communications having a first transmission time interval (TTI) duration in a sidelink channel while performing device-to-device (D2D) wireless communications in the sidelink channel using a second TTI duration, wherein the first TTI duration is shorter than the second TTI duration;

identifying dedicated uplink resources for scheduling requests (SRs) for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

reserving the dedicated uplink resources for a transmission of SRs for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

monitoring a downlink indication channel in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs;

detecting a scheduling grant based on the monitoring; and

suspending the D2D wireless communication in the sidelink channel during a single TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs based on detecting the scheduling grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in a subset of TTIs having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single TTI having the first TTI duration comprises a next TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs.

5. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor,

memory coupled with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

identify an indicator associated with wireless communications having a first transmission time interval (TTI) duration in a sidelink channel while performing device-to-device (D2D) wireless communications in the sidelink channel using a second TTI duration, wherein the first TTI duration is shorter than the second TTI duration;

identify dedicated uplink resources for scheduling requests (SRs) for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

reserve the dedicated uplink resources for a transmission of SRs for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

monitor a downlink indication channel in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs;

detect a scheduling grant based on the monitoring; and

suspend the D2D wireless communication in the sidelink channel during a single TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs based on detecting the scheduling grant.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in a subset of TTIs having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the single TTI having the first TTI duration comprises a next TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs.

9. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for identifying an indicator associated with wireless communications having a first transmission time interval (TTI) duration in a sidelink channel while performing device-to-device (D2D) wireless communications in the sidelink channel using a second TTI duration, wherein the first TTI duration is shorter than the second TTI duration;

means for identifying dedicated uplink resources for scheduling requests (SRs) for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

means for reserving the dedicated uplink resources for a transmission of SRs for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

means for monitoring a downlink indication channel in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs;

means for detecting a scheduling grant based on the monitoring; and

means for suspending the D2D wireless communication in the sidelink channel during a single TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs based on detecting the scheduling grant.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in a subset of TTIs having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the single TTI having the first TTI duration comprises a next TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

identify an indicator associated with wireless communications having a first transmission time interval (TTI) duration in a sidelink channel while performing device-to-device (D2D) wireless communications in the sidelink channel using a second TTI duration, wherein the first TTI duration is shorter than the second TTI duration;

identify dedicated uplink resources for scheduling requests (SRs) for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

reserve the dedicated uplink resources for a transmission of SRs for wireless uplink communications having the first TTI duration in the sidelink channel;

monitor a downlink indication channel in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs;

detect a scheduling grant based on the monitoring; and

suspend the D2D wireless communication in the sidelink channel during a single TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs based on detecting the scheduling grant.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in each TTI having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the dedicated uplink resources comprise a resource in a subset of TTIs having the first TTI duration in a plurality of successive first TTIs.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the single TTI having the first TTI duration comprises a next TTI having the first TTI duration in the plurality of successive first TTIs.
