Abstract

A wireless device may select, based on a first sensing procedure, a first candidate resource set for one or more sidelink transmissions, trigger a second sensing procedure, for the one or more sidelink transmissions, based on one or more first resources of the first selected candidate resource set, and exclude one or more second resources from the one or more first resources based on the second sensing procedure and a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the one or more second resources. The wireless device selects, from the one or more first resources and based on the excluding, a second remaining candidate resource set for the one or more sidelink transmissions and transmit the one or more sidelink transmissions via one or more third resources of the second remaining candidate resource set.

Claims (67)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more first radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters, the configuration parameters indicating:

a first sensing window of a first resource selection procedure; and

a second sensing window of a second resource selection procedure;

selecting, based on a first sensing procedure associated with the first resource selection procedure, a first candidate resource set for one or more sidelink transmissions;

triggering a second sensing procedure associated with the second resource selection procedure, for the one or more sidelink transmissions, based on one or more first resources of the first selected candidate resource set;

excluding one or more second resources from the one or more first resources based on:

the second sensing procedure; and

a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the one or more second resources;

selecting, from the one or more first resources and based on the excluding, a second remaining candidate resource set for the one or more sidelink transmissions; and

transmitting the one or more sidelink transmissions via one or more third resources of the second remaining candidate resource set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first sensing procedure is a part of the first resource selection procedure; and

the second sensing procedure is a part of the second resource selection procedure.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second resource selection procedure is for re-evaluation of the one or more first resources of the first candidate resource set.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the second remaining candidate resource set is based on the first sensing procedure and the second sensing procedure.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate

a selection window.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising initializing, for the first resource selection procedure comprising the first sensing procedure, the first candidate resource set to comprise candidate resources in the selection window.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the first candidate resource set comprises:

determining a first remaining candidate resource set to comprise the one or more first resources based on:

the first candidate resource set; and

first sensing results in the first sensing window of the first resource selection procedure.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising initializing a second candidate resource set to be the same as the first remaining candidate set.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the initializing the second candidate resource set be the same as the first remaining candidate set is based on a number of candidate resources in the first remaining candidate resource set being more than a threshold.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving one or more second RRC messages configuring the threshold indicating a quantity of candidate resources.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more first radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters, the configuration parameters indicating:

a first sensing window of a first resource selection procedure; and

a second sensing window of a second resource selection procedure;

select, based on a first sensing procedure associated with the first resource selection procedure, a first candidate resource set for one or more sidelink transmissions;

trigger a second sensing procedure associated with the second resource selection procedure, for the one or more sidelink transmissions, based on one or more first resources of the first selected candidate resource set;

exclude one or more second resources from the one or more first resources based on:

the second sensing procedure; and

a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the one or more second resources;

select, from the one or more first resources and based on the excluding, a second remaining candidate resource set for the one or more sidelink transmissions; and

transmit the one or more sidelink transmissions via one or more third resources of the second remaining candidate resource set.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the first sensing procedure is a part of the first resource selection procedure; and

the second sensing procedure is a part of the second resource selection procedure.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the second resource selection procedure is for re-evaluation of the one or more first resources of the first candidate resource set.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the second remaining candidate resource set is based on the first sensing procedure and the second sensing procedure.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate

a selection window.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to initialize, for the first resource selection procedure comprising the first sensing procedure, the first candidate resource set to comprise candidate resources in the selection window.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to select the first candidate resource set further cause the wireless device to:

determine a first remaining candidate resource set to comprise the one or more first resources based on:

the first candidate resource set; and

first sensing results in the first sensing window of the first resource selection procedure.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to initialize a second candidate resource set to be the same as the first remaining candidate set.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the initializing the second candidate resource set be the same as the first remaining candidate set is based on a number of candidate resources in the first remaining candidate resource set being more than a threshold.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising one or more first processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit one or more configuration parameters for a first sensing procedure and a second sensing procedure; and

a wireless device comprising one or more second processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more first radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising the one or more configuration parameters, the one or more configuration parameters indicating:

a first sensing window of a first resource selection procedure; and

a second sensing window of a second resource selection procedure;

select, based on the first sensing procedure associated with the first resource selection procedure, a first candidate resource set for one or more sidelink transmissions;

trigger the second sensing procedure associated with the second resource selection procedure, for the one or more sidelink transmissions, based on one or more first resources of the first selected candidate resource set;

exclude one or more second resources from the one or more first resources based on:

the second sensing procedure; and

a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the one or more second resources;

select, from the one or more first resources and based on the excluding, a second remaining candidate resource set for the one or more sidelink transmissions; and

transmit the one or more sidelink transmissions via one or more third resources of the second remaining candidate resource set.
