Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for sidelink communication are disclosed. A WTRU may receive a first SCI element from a second WTRU within a group. The WTRU may receive a first RCI element within a first set of resources scheduled by the first SCI. The first RCI may include information about which WTRU in the group is scheduled to use a second set of resources. The WTRU may determine, based on the first RCI, that one or more subresources within the second set of resources are available. The WTRU may transmit data in the one or more subresources. The first SCI and the first RCI may be received in a first reservation period and the one or more subresources may be in a second reservation period.

Claims (28)

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured for sidelink communication, the WTRU comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, wherein:

the transceiver is configured to receive sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information from a network, wherein the SLRB configuration information comprises a mapping of quality of service (QoS) flows to a SLRB;

the processor is configured to receive a data packet for transmission, wherein the data packet has an associated range parameter value;

the processor is configured to establish a SLRB for the data packet having the associated range parameter value based on the received mapping of QoS flows to a SLRB;

the processor is further configured to select at least one data transmission parameter based on at least the range parameter value; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the data packet based on the selected at least one data transmission parameter.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the data packet is received from a higher layer.

3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the range parameter value corresponds to a physical distance.

4. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the range parameter value indicates a physical distance over which a QoS of the data packet should be satisfied.

5. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the at least one data transmission parameter comprises at least one of: a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a transmission power, or a maximum number of retransmissions.

6. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a network configured mapping.

7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) value.

8. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a logical channel priority.

9. A method for sidelink communication, implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information from a network, wherein the SLRB configuration information comprises a mapping of quality of service (QoS) flows to a SLRB;

receiving a data packet for transmission, wherein the data packet has an associated range parameter value;

establishing a SLRB for the data packet having the associated range parameter value based on the received mapping of QoS flows to a SLRB;

selecting at least one data transmission parameter based on at least the range parameter value; and

transmitting the data packet based on the selected at least one data transmission parameter.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data packet is received from a higher layer.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the range parameter value corresponds to a physical distance.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the range parameter value indicates a physical distance over which a QoS of the data packet should be satisfied.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one data transmission parameter comprises at least one of: a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a transmission power, or a maximum number of retransmissions.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a network configured mapping.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) value.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the selected at least one data transmission parameter is based on a logical channel priority.
