Abstract

Embodiments herein provide methods of sidelink communication between nodes including resource selection, congestion control, and/or resource signaling. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (36)

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, are to cause the UE to:

identify a priority that is related to a physical sidelink channel transmission on a sidelink channel;

transmit a sidelink control information (SCI) that includes an indication of a resource for the physical sidelink channel transmission and an indication of the priority;

increase a power level for transmission of the physical sidelink channel transmission, wherein the increase in the power level is based on the priority; and

transmit the physical sidelink channel transmission on the resource based on the power level.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further to perform congestion control on the sidelink channel.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the SCI includes a priority field to indicate the priority.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the priority is related to resource preemption of the physical sidelink channel transmission.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein increasing the power level includes increasing the power level based on a plurality of pre-defined power level increase values that are to be applied to a transmission power level of the physical sidelink channel transmission.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of pre-defined power level increase values includes 3 decibels (dB) and 6 dB.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein increasing the power level includes increasing the power level by an amount that is proportional to the priority.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), are to cause the UE to:

identify a priority that is related to a physical sidelink channel transmission on a sidelink channel;

transmit a sidelink control information (SCI) that includes an indication of a resource for the physical sidelink channel transmission and an indication of the priority;

increase a power level for transmission of the physical sidelink channel transmission, wherein the increase in the power level is based on the priority; and

transmit the physical sidelink channel transmission on the resource based on the power level.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further to perform congestion control on the sidelink channel.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the SCI includes a priority field to indicate the priority.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the priority is related to resource preemption of the physical sidelink channel transmission.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein increasing the power level includes increasing the power level based on a plurality of pre-defined power level increase values that are to be applied to a transmission power level of the physical sidelink channel transmission.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein increasing the power level includes increasing the power level by an amount that is proportional to the priority.

14. An apparatus for use in a user equipment (UE), wherein the apparatus comprises:

memory to store an indication of a priority that is related to a physical sidelink channel transmission on a sidelink channel; and

one or more processors configured to:

identify the priority;

facilitate transmission of a sidelink control information (SCI) that includes an indication of a resource for the physical sidelink channel transmission and an indication of the priority;

facilitate an increase of a power level for transmission of the physical sidelink channel transmission, wherein the increase in the power level is based on the priority; and

facilitate transmission of the physical sidelink channel transmission on the resource based on the increased power level.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform congestion control on the sidelink channel.

16. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the SCI includes a priority field to indicate the priority.

17. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the priority is related to resource preemption of the physical sidelink channel transmission.

18. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the increase in the power level is based on a plurality of pre-defined power level increase values.

19. The UE of claim 18 , wherein the plurality of pre-defined power level increase values includes 3 decibels (dB) and 6 dB.

20. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the increase in the power level is an amount that is proportional to the priority.
