Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices related to digital wireless communication, and more specifically, to techniques related to transmitting sidelink capability and security information between peer terminals. In one exemplary aspect, a method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by the first terminal, capability information associated with the first terminal to the second terminal based on a triggering event, the capability information associated with the first terminal relating to a capability of the first terminal to directly communicate with a second terminal. In another exemplary aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving information associated with a first terminal from the first terminal, the capability information associated with the first terminal relating to a capability of the first terminal to directly communicate with the second terminal. The method also includes determining transmission parameters for unicast communication with the first terminal.

Claims (18)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

transmitting, by a first terminal, capability information associated with the first terminal to a second terminal, the capability information associated with the first terminal relating to a capability of the first terminal to directly communicate with a second terminal, so that the second terminal is configured to send the capability information associated with the first terminal received from the first terminal to a communication node, wherein the capability information associated with the first terminal is sent to the communication node via a sidelink terminal information message, and the capability information includes supported modulation and demodulation orders.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal transmits the capability information associated with the first terminal upon receiving a capability enquiry from the second terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the capability enquiry includes a capability request filter.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting out-of-order delivery.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) SN.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) SN.

7. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor that is configured to carry out the method of claim 1 .

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having code stored thereon, the code when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement the method of claim 1 .

9. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a second terminal, capability information associated with a first terminal from the first terminal, the capability information associated with the first terminal relating to a capability of the first terminal to directly communicate with the second terminal; and

transmitting, by the second terminal, the capability information associated with the first terminal received from the first terminal to a communication node, wherein the capability information associated with the first terminal is sent to the communication node via a sidelink terminal information message

wherein the capability information includes supported modulation and demodulation orders.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting out-of-order delivery.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) SN.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the capability information includes an indication of supporting RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) SN.

13. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor that is configured to carry out the method of claim 9 .

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having code stored thereon, the code when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement the method of claim 9 .
