Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable mediums for wireless communication are provided. One apparatus is configured to receive at least one SA from at least one UE. The apparatus is further configured to determine an energy associated with each at least one SA. The apparatus is also configured to rank data transmission time-frequency resources based on the determined energy associated with said each received at least one SA. Each at least one SA are associated with a different subset of the data transmission time-frequency resources. The apparatus is further configured to select a set of data transmission time-frequency resources based on the ranked data transmission time-frequency resources and to send a data transmission on the selected set of data transmission time-frequency resources. Another apparatus is configured to partitioning time-frequency resources into different resource groups, to divide UEs into UE groups based on location, and map the UE groups to the resource groups.

Claims (27)

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:

partitioning time-frequency resources into different resource groups, the resource groups partitioned in the time domain, wherein the resource groups comprise a resource group of odd subframes and a resource group of even subframes;

dividing vehicle UEs into vehicle UE groups based on vehicle UE location; and

mapping the vehicle UE groups to the resource groups, wherein neighboring groups of the vehicle UE groups are mapped to different ones of the resource group of odd subframes or the resource group of even subframes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping of the vehicle UE groups is determined statically.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping of the vehicle UE groups is configured dynamically by a network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein proximal vehicle UEs are selected for a same vehicle UE group.

5. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

means for partitioning time-frequency resources into different resource groups, the resource groups partitioned in the time domain, wherein the resource groups comprise a resource group of odd subframes and a resource group of even subframes;

means for dividing vehicle UEs into vehicle UE groups based on vehicle UE location; and

means for mapping the vehicle UE groups to the resource groups, wherein neighboring groups of the vehicle UE groups are mapped to different ones of the resource group of odd subframes or the resource group of even subframes.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the means for mapping of the vehicle UE groups is configured to determine a mapping statically.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the means for mapping of the vehicle UE groups is configured to map dynamically.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein proximal vehicle UEs are selected for a same vehicle UE group.

9. An apparatus of wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

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

partitioning time-frequency resources into different resource groups, the resource groups partitioned in the time domain, wherein the resource groups comprise a resource group of odd subframes and a resource group of even subframes;

dividing vehicle UEs into vehicle UE groups based on vehicle UE location; and

mapping the vehicle UE groups to the resource groups, wherein neighboring groups of the vehicle UE groups are mapped to different ones of the resource group of odd subframes or the resource group of even subframes.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor determines the mapping of the vehicle UE groups statically.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor determines the mapping of the vehicle UE groups dynamically.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor selects proximal vehicle UEs for a same vehicle UE group.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code to:

partition time-frequency resources into different resource groups, the resource groups partitioned in the time domain, wherein the resource groups comprise a resource group of odd subframes and a resource group of even subframes;

divide vehicle UEs into vehicle UE groups based on vehicle UE location; and

map the vehicle UE groups to the resource groups, wherein neighboring groups of the vehicle UE groups are mapped to different ones of the resource group of odd subframes or the resource group of even subframes.
