Abstract

A first wireless device may receive, from a base station, one or more first messages indicating downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters comprising a DL DRX on-duration start offset. The first wireless device may determine a starting time of a sidelink DRX (SL DRX) on-duration based on the DL DRX on-duration start offset. The first wireless device may receive, from a second wireless device, one or more sidelink transport blocks during the SL DRX on-duration.

Claims (35)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device from a base station, one or more first messages indicating downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters comprising a DL DRX on-duration start offset;

determining a starting time of an active time of a sidelink DRX (SL DRX) based on the DL DRX on-duration start offset, wherein the determining further comprises determining an offset of the active time is the same as the DRX on-duration start offset based on the first wireless device being capable of simultaneous reception of a sidelink and a downlink; and

receiving, from a second wireless device, one or more sidelink transport blocks during the active time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first messages comprise at least one of:

a radio resource control (RRC) message; or

a system information block (SIB).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising starting a SL DRX on-duration timer based on the starting time.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising monitoring one or more sidelink control channels while the SL-DRX on-duration timer is running.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the second wireless device, one or more second messages indicating the starting time of the active time.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first messages comprise a sidelink radio resource control message (SL RRC).

7. The method of claim 1 , the determining further comprises determining an offset of the active time is the same as the DRX on-duration start offset based on an uplink-and-downlink-configuration, of a cell configured with sidelink, indicating a time division duplex.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the uplink-and-downlink-configuration is received from the base station.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the uplink-and-downlink-configuration is indicated for a sidelink carrier.

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, from a base station, one or more first messages indicating downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters comprising a DL DRX on-duration start offset;

determine a starting time of an active time of a sidelink DRX (SL DRX) based on the DL DRX on-duration start offset, wherein the determining further comprises determining an offset of the active time is the same as the DRX on-duration start offset based on the first wireless device being capable of simultaneous reception of a sidelink and a downlink; and

receive, from a second wireless device, one or more sidelink transport blocks during the active time.

11. The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more first messages comprise at least one of:

a radio resource control (RRC) message;

a system information block (SIB); or

a sidelink radio resource control message (SL RRC).

12. The first wireless device of claim 10 , further comprising starting a SL DRX on-duration timer based on the starting time.

13. The first wireless device of claim 12 , further comprising monitoring one or more sidelink control channels while the SL-DRX on-duration timer is running.

14. The first wireless device of claim 10 , further comprising transmitting, to the second wireless device, one or more second messages indicating the starting time of the active time.

15. The first wireless device of claim 10 , the determining further comprises determining an offset of the active time is the same as the DRX on-duration start offset based on an uplink-and-downlink-configuration, of a cell configured with sidelink, indicating a time division duplex.

16. The first wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the uplink-and-downlink-configuration is received from the base station.

17. The first wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the uplink-and-downlink-configuration is indicated for a sidelink carrier.

18. A system comprising: a first wireless device comprising one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first wireless device to:

receive, from a base station, one or more first messages indicating downlink (DL) discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters comprising a DL DRX on-duration start offset;

determine a starting time of an active time of a sidelink DRX (SL DRX) based on the DL DRX on-duration start offset, wherein the determining further comprises determining an offset of the active time is the same as the DRX on-duration start offset based on the first wireless device being capable of simultaneous reception of a sidelink and a downlink; and

receive, from a second wireless device, one or more sidelink transport blocks during the active time; and

the second wireless device comprising one or more second processors and second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second wireless device to transmit, to the first wireless device, the one or more sidelink transport blocks.
