Abstract

A method and apparatus for sidelink connection suspension or release based on different target qualities of different services in a wireless communication system is provided. A first wireless device determines a first target cell quality for a first service related to a first bearer and a second target cell quality for a second service related to a second bearer. The first wireless device suspends at least one of the first bearer and/or the second bearer based on that a result of the measurement on a sidelink connection does not meet at least one of the first target cell quality and/or the second target cell quality. The first wireless device releases the sidelink connection if there is no more service using the sidelink connection.

Claims (27)

1. A method for a first wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

establishing a first bearer for a first service and a second bearer for a second service on a sidelink connection with a second wireless device;

determining a first target cell quality for the first service and a second target cell quality for the second service;

performing measurement on the sidelink connection;

suspending at least one of the first bearer and/or the second bearer based on that a result of the measurement on the sidelink connection does not meet at least one of the first target cell quality and/or the second target cell quality.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first bearer is related to a first session, and

wherein the second bearer is related to a second session.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first bearer is suspended based on that the result of the measurement on the sidelink connection does not meet the first target cell quality during a time duration.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising indicating, to the second wireless device, suspension of the first bearer.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising resuming or re-establishing an L2 entity for the first bearer based on that the result of the measurement on the sidelink connection meets the first target cell quality.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising indicating, to the second wireless device, recovery of the first bearer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second bearer is suspended based on that the result of the measurement on the sidelink connection does not meet the second target cell quality during a time duration.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising indicating, to the second wireless device, suspension of the second bearer.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising resuming or re-establishing an L2 entity for the second bearer based on that the result of the measurement on the sidelink connection meets the second target cell quality.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising indicating, to the second wireless device, recovery of the second bearer.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising releasing the sidelink connection based on that both the first bearer and the second bearer are suspended.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising releasing the sidelink connection based on that there is no more service using the sidelink connection.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising resuming the sidelink connection based on reception of recovery of at least one of the first bearer and/or the second bearer.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the first wireless device.

15. A first wireless device in a wireless communication system, the first wireless device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

establishing a first bearer for a first service and a second bearer for a second service on a sidelink connection with a second wireless device;

determining a first target cell quality for the first service and a second target cell quality for the second service;

performing measurement on the sidelink connection;

suspending at least one of the first bearer and/or the second bearer based on that a result of the measurement on the sidelink connection does not meet at least one of the first target cell quality and/or the second target cell quality.
