Discontinuous reception for mode 1 sidelink
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS), an indication of an access link discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration and a sidelink DRX configuration. The access link DRX configuration and the sidelink DRX configuration may synchronize access link DRX operation and sidelink DRX operation of the UE. The UE may perform access link communication with the BS based at least in part on the access link DRX configuration and/or may perform sidelink communication with another UE based at least in part on the sidelink DRX configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.
1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to a base station (BS), a request for radio resources for transmitting a sidelink communication to another UE on a sidelink; and
receiving, from the B S and based at least in part on transmitting the request for radio resources, an indication of a timing for retransmitting the request for radio resources to the BS,
wherein the indication of the timing is based at least in part on the other UE being in a sidelink discontinuous reception sleep mode.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for radio resources comprises a buffer status report associated with the UE.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the timing is included in a medium access control element communication.
4. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to a base station (BS), a request to synchronize access link discontinuous reception (DRX) operation and sidelink DRX operation of the UE;
receiving, from the B S and based at least in part on transmitting the request, an indication of an access link DRX configuration and a sidelink DRX configuration,
wherein the access link DRX configuration and the sidelink DRX configuration synchronize access link DRX operation and sidelink DRX operation of the UE; and
at least one of:
performing access link communication with the BS based at least in part on the access link DRX configuration, or
performing sidelink communication with another UE based at least in part on the sidelink DRX configuration.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein performing access link communication with the BS based at least in part on the access link DRX configuration comprises:
remaining in an access link DRX on mode based at least in part on determining that the UE is in a sidelink DRX on mode.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a sidelink DRX on mode duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and an access link DRX on mode duration, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX on mode duration.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein a starting time of a sidelink DRX on mode, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and a starting time of an access link DRX on mode, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX on mode starting time.
8. The method of claim 4 , wherein a sidelink DRX cycle duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and an access link DRX cycle duration, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX cycle duration.
9. The method of claim 4 , wherein performing sidelink communication with another UE based at least in part on the sidelink DRX configuration comprises:
remaining in a sidelink DRX on mode based at least in part on determining that the UE is in an access link DRX on mode.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing sidelink communication with another UE based at least in part on the sidelink DRX configuration comprises:
transitioning from a sidelink DRX sleep mode to a sidelink DRX on mode based at least in part on transitioning from an access link DRX sleep mode to an access link DRX on mode.
11. The method of claim 4 , wherein performing access link communication with the BS based at least in part on the access link DRX configuration comprises:
transitioning from an access link DRX sleep mode to an access link DRX on mode based at least in part on transitioning from a sidelink DRX sleep mode to a sidelink DRX on mode.
12. The method of claim 4 , wherein a starting time of a sidelink DRX on mode, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, is based at least in part on a speed at which the UE is traveling.
13. The method of claim 4 , wherein a sidelink DRX cycle duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, is based at least in part on a speed at which the UE is traveling.
14. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station (BS), comprising:
configuring an access link discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration and a sidelink DRX configuration for a user equipment (UE) such that the access link DRX configuration and the sidelink DRX configuration synchronize access link DRX operation and sidelink DRX operation of the UE; and
transmitting an indication of the access link DRX configuration and the sidelink DRX configuration to the UE.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a sidelink DRX on mode duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and an access link DRX on mode duration, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX on mode duration.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein a starting time of a sidelink DRX on mode, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and a starting time of an access link DRX on mode, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX on mode starting time.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein a sidelink DRX cycle duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, and an access link DRX cycle duration, identified in the access link DRX configuration, are a same DRX cycle duration.
18. The method of claim 14 , wherein a starting time of a sidelink DRX on mode, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, is based at least in part on a speed at which the UE is traveling.
19. The method of claim 14 , wherein a sidelink DRX cycle duration, identified in the sidelink DRX configuration, is based at least in part on a speed at which the UE is traveling.
20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving, from the UE, a request for radio resources for transmitting a sidelink communication to another UE on a sidelink;
determining that the other UE is in a sidelink DRX sleep mode; and
transmitting, to the UE and based at least in part on determining that the other UE is in the sidelink DRX sleep mode, an indication of a timing for retransmitting the request for radio resources to the B S or an indication of a sidelink grant for a time period when the other UE is no longer in the sidelink DRX sleep mode.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the request for radio resources comprises a buffer status report associated with the UE.
22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the indication of the timing is included in a medium access control element communication.
23. The method of claim 20 , wherein the indication of the sidelink grant is included in a downlink control information communication.
