Abstract

A first base station receives resource information from one or more wireless devices. The first base station determines, based on the resource information, combined resource information associated with a first cell. The combined resource information comprises a combined channel busy ratio of a sidelink resource pool. The first base station sends, to a second base station, an information message comprising the combined resource information. The first base station receives, from the second base station, a request message requesting a resource configuration of the first cell for a wireless device. The request message is based on the information message.

Claims (75)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station, resource information from one or more wireless devices;

determining, based on the resource information, combined resource information associated with a first cell, wherein the combined resource information comprises a combined channel busy ratio of a sidelink resource pool;

sending, to a second base station, an information message comprising the combined resource information; and

receiving, from the second base station, a request message requesting a resource configuration of the first cell for a wireless device, wherein the request message is based on the information message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource information comprises at least one of:

a received signal strength indicator (RSSI);

a channel busy ratio (CBR); or

a channel occupancy ratio (CR).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the first base station to the second base station, information of the sidelink resource pool for sidelink communications associated with the first cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined resource information comprises at least one of:

a received signal strength indicator (RSSI); or

a combined channel occupancy ratio (CR).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined resource information comprises at least one of:

a first combined resource information of a first bandwidth part of the first cell; or

a second combined resource information of a second bandwidth part of the first cell.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first cell uses an unlicensed spectrum.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the combined resource information comprises averaging one or more resource information for at least one of:

resources in a time duration; or

resources in a first bandwidth.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource configuration of the first cell for the wireless device comprises at least one of:

a handover to the first cell; or

configuration of a secondary cell group comprising the first cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by a first central unit of the first base station from a first distributed unit of the first base station, second resource information, wherein:

the second resource information comprises at least one of:

a received signal strength indicator (RSSI);

a channel busy ratio (CBR); or

a channel occupancy ratio (CR); and

the combined resource information is based on the second resource information.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by a first distributed unit of the first base station from a first central unit of the first base station, the combined resource information of the first cell; and

assigning, by the first distributed unit and based on the combined resource information, radio resources for a second wireless device.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

receive resource information from one or more wireless devices;

determine, based on the resource information, combined resource information associated with a first cell, wherein the combined resource information comprises a combined channel busy ratio of a sidelink resource pool;

send, to a second base station, an information message comprising the combined resource information; and

receive, from the second base station, a request message requesting a resource configuration of the first cell for a wireless device, wherein the request message is based on the information message.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the resource information comprises at least one of:

a received signal strength indicator (RSSI);

a channel busy ratio (CBR); or

a channel occupancy ratio (CR).

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to send, to the second base station, information of the sidelink resource pool for sidelink communications associated with the first cell.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the combined resource information comprises at least one of:

a received signal strength indicator (RSSI); or

a combined channel occupancy ratio (CR).

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the combined resource information comprises at least one of:

a first combined resource information of a first bandwidth part of the first cell; or

a second combined resource information of a second bandwidth part of the first cell.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first cell uses an unlicensed spectrum.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the combined resource information comprises averaging one or more resource information for at least one of:

resources in a time duration; or

resources in a first bandwidth.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the resource configuration of the first cell for the wireless device comprises at least one of:

a handover to the first cell; or

configuration of a secondary cell group comprising the first cell.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein a first distributed unit of the base station:

receives, from a first central unit of the base station, the combined resource information of the first cell; and

assigns, based on the combined resource information, radio resources for a second wireless device.

20. A system comprising:

a first base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first base station to:

receive resource information from one or more wireless devices;

determine, based on the resource information, combined resource information associated with a first cell, wherein the combined resource information comprises a combined channel busy ratio of a sidelink resource pool;

send, to a second base station, an information message comprising the combined resource information; and

receive, from the second base station, a request message requesting a resource configuration of the first cell for a wireless device, wherein the request message is based on the information message; and

the second base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the second base station to:

receive, from the first base station, the information message;

receive, from the wireless device, measurement results of the first cell;

determine, based on the measurement results and the information message, to request the resource configuration of the first cell for the wireless device; and

send, to the first base station, the request message.
