Abstract

This disclosure relates to embodiments New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Some of embodiments generate system information block (SIB) messages having configurations for V2X communication modes, and transmit the SIB messages to a user equipment (UE). V2X communication modes include unicast, groupcast and broadcast modes. An example configuration includes a sidelink communication using a V2X communication mode.

Claims (40)

1. An access node (AN) for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the AN comprising:

processing circuitry configured to generate a plurality of system information block (SIB) messages having a plurality of configurations for a plurality of V2X communication modes, the plurality of SIB messages including a first SIB message having a first configuration for a first communication mode and a second SIB message having a second configuration for a second communication mode, wherein the second SIB message includes a delta configuration including a difference from a common resource between the first configuration and the second configuration; and

radio front end circuitry configured to transmit the plurality of SIB messages to a user equipment (UE).

2. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the first communication mode or the second communication mode comprises:

a unicast mode; or

a broadcast mode.

3. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration or the second configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a broadcast operation.

4. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration or the second configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a unicast operation.

5. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the AN comprises a next-generation NodeB (gNB) or a portion thereof.

6. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the delta configuration comprises different congestion-to-priority mapping rules for the common resource to allow for differentiated behavior on the common resource by different UEs.

7. The AN of claim 1 , wherein the common resource comprises a carrier frequency that is applicable to the first communication mode and the second communication mode.

8. A method for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the method comprising:

generating a plurality of system information block (SIB) messages having a plurality of configurations for a plurality of V2X communication modes, the plurality of SIB messages including a first SIB message having a first configuration for a first communication mode and a second SIB message having a second configuration for a second communication mode, wherein the second SIB message includes a delta configuration including a difference from a common resource between the first configuration and the second configuration; and

transmitting the plurality of SIB messages to a user equipment (UE).

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first communication mode or the second communication mode comprises:

a unicast mode; or

a broadcast mode.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a broadcast operation.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a unicast operation.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method is implemented by a next-generation NodeB (gNB) or a portion thereof.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the delta configuration comprises different congestion-to-priority mapping rules for the common resource to allow for differentiated behavior on the common resource by different UEs.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the common resource comprises a carrier frequency that is applicable to the first communication mode and the second communication mode.

15. An access node (AN) for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the AN comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor, upon executing the program instructions, configured to:

generate a plurality of system information block (SIB) messages having a plurality of configurations for a plurality of V2X communication modes, the plurality of SIB messages including a first SIB message having a first configuration for a first communication mode and a second SIB message having a second configuration for a second communication mode, wherein the second SIB message includes a delta configuration including a difference from a common resource between the first configuration and the second configuration, and

transmit the plurality of SIB messages to a user equipment (UE).

16. The AN of claim 15 , wherein the first communication mode or the second communication mode comprises:

a unicast mode; or

a broadcast mode.

17. The AN of claim 15 , wherein the first configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a broadcast operation.

18. The AN of claim 15 , wherein the second configuration comprises:

a sidelink communication using a unicast operation.

19. The AN of claim 15 , wherein the delta configuration comprises different congestion-to-priority mapping rules for the common resource to allow for differentiated behavior on the common resource by different UEs.

20. The AN of claim 15 , wherein the common resource comprises a carrier frequency that is applicable to the first communication mode and the second communication mode.
