Power saving sensing for reduced sensing UEs using partial sensing and additional sensing with a prioritized resource selection window
Systems and methods used by reduced sensing user equipment (UE) (relative to a full sensing UE) are disclosed herein. A UE performing partial sensing may use knowledge of resource reservation periods for a resource pool of one or more resources to reduce sensing as compared to the full sensing case. A UE performing resource re-evaluation and/or resource pre-emption may use one or more sensing windows that are relatively smaller than windows used in the full sensing case to reduce sensing. A UE performing prioritized resource selection may use a sensing window to determine availability of resources within a prioritized resource selection window with a high reliability, thereby reducing the need to spend power on other sensing methods (which may include full sensing methods). Combinations of these embodiments are also contemplated.
1. A method of a user equipment (UE) for transmitting data on a sidelink (SL) transmission, comprising:
detecting, for each of one or more resources from a candidate slot, whether any other device has reserved the resource, wherein the detecting is performed during one or more detection occasions that occur according to one or more of a plurality of resource reservation periods configured for a resource pool of the one or more resources; and
for each of the one or more resources from the candidate slot:
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that no other device has reserved the resource, selecting the resource for use with the SL transmission; and
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that another device has reserved the resource, not selecting the resource for use with the SL transmission.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate slot extends for less than an entire resource selection window.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of the resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is a subset of all resource reservation periods configured for the resource pool.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on whether additional sensing occurs after a resource selection trigger.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a priority of the data.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a power level of the UE.
7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a UE capability.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more detection occasions comprises a plurality of detection occasions that occur according to a same resource reservation period of the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a number of the plurality of detection occasions that occur according to the same resource reservation period is pre-configured for the resource pool of the one or more resources.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a number of the plurality of detection occasions that occur according to the same resource reservation period is determined based on a priority of the data.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein a number of the plurality of detection occasions that occur according to the same resource reservation period is determined based on a power level of the UE.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein a number of the plurality of detection occasions that occur according to the same resource reservation period is determined based on a UE capability.
13. A baseband processor of a user equipment (UE) to transmit data on a sidelink (SL) transmission, the baseband processor comprising:
circuitry configured to:
detect, for each of one or more resources from a candidate slot, whether any other device has reserved the resource, wherein the detecting is performed during one or more detection occasions that occur according to one or more of a plurality of resource reservation periods configured for a resource pool of the one or more resources; and
for each of the one or more resources from the candidate slot:
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that no other device has reserved the resource, select the resource for use with the SL transmission; and
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that another device has reserved the resource, not select the resource for use with the SL transmission.
14. The baseband processor of claim 13 , wherein the candidate slot extends for less than an entire resource selection window.
15. The baseband processor of claim 13 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of the resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is a subset of all resource reservation periods configured for the resource pool.
16. The baseband processor of claim 15 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on whether additional sensing occurs after a resource selection trigger.
17. The baseband processor of claim 15 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a priority of the data.
18. The baseband processor of claim 15 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a power level of the UE.
19. The baseband processor of claim 15 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of resource reservation periods for the one or more detection occasions is determined based on a UE capability.
20. A user equipment (UE) configured for transmitting data on a sidelink (SL) transmission, comprising:
a memory to store the one or more resources from the candidate slot to use to transmit data on the SL transmission; and
one or more processors configured to:
detect, for each of one or more resources from a candidate slot, whether any other device has reserved the resource, wherein the detecting is performed during one or more detection occasions that occur according to one or more of a plurality of resource reservation periods configured for a resource pool of the one or more resources; and
for each of the one or more resources from the candidate slot:
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that no other device has reserved the resource, select the resource for use with the SL transmission; and
in response to determining, based on the detecting, that another device has reserved the resource, not select the resource for use with the SL transmission.
