Abstract

A first wireless device receives one or more messages indicating a distance threshold for a distance between: the first wireless device; and a second wireless device. A control information is received. The control information indicates transmission of a measurement report of a sidelink between: the first wireless device; and the second wireless device. Based on the distance threshold and a distance between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, a determination is made to transmit the measurement report of the sidelink. The measurement report is transmitted to the second wireless device via the sidelink.

Claims (51)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device, one or more messages indicating a distance threshold for a distance between the first wireless device and a second wireless device;

receiving, by the first wireless device from the second wireless device, control information requesting a transmission of information indicating frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for a sidelink between the first wireless device and the second wireless device;

determining, based on the distance threshold and the distance between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, to transmit the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for the sidelink; and

transmitting, by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device via the sidelink.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to the distance being equal to or less than the distance threshold, the determining comprises determining to transmit the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a measurement of a value of

the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information comprises:

downlink control information from a base station; or

sidelink control information from the second wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distance threshold is one of a plurality of distance thresholds indicated by the one or more messages.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information further indicates a second geographic location of the second wireless device.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining the distance based on:

a first geographic location of the first wireless device; and

the second geographic location of the second wireless device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages further comprise configuration parameters indicating one or more resource pools for:

the first wireless device; or

the second wireless device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more resources pools comprise:

one or more transmission resource pools; or

one or more reception resource pools.

10. A first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive one or more messages indicating a distance threshold for a distance between the first wireless device and a second wireless device;

receive, from the second wireless device, control information requesting a transmission of information indicating frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for a sidelink between the first wireless device and the second wireless device;

determine, based on the distance threshold and the distance between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, to transmit the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for the sidelink; and

transmit, to the second wireless device, the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device via the sidelink.

11. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to determine to transmit the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device, in response to the distance being equal to or less than the distance threshold.

12. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to perform a measurement of a value of the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device.

13. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the control information comprises:

downlink control information from a base station; or

sidelink control information from the second wireless device.

14. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the distance threshold is one of a plurality of distance thresholds indicated by the one or more messages.

15. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the control information further indicates a second geographic location of the second wireless device.

16. The first wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to determine the distance based on:

a first geographic location of the first wireless device; and

the second geographic location of the second wireless device.

17. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more messages further comprise configuration parameters indicating one or more resource pools for:

the first wireless device; or

the second wireless device.

18. A system comprising:

a base station; and

a first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive, from the base station, one or more messages indicating a distance threshold for a distance between the first wireless device and a second wireless device;

receive, from the second wireless device, control information requesting a transmission of information indicating frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for a sidelink between the first wireless device and the second wireless device;

determine, based on the distance threshold and the distance between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, to transmit the information indicating the frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device for the sidelink; and

transmit, to the second wireless device, the information indicating the preferred frequency resources preferred by the first wireless device via the sidelink.
