User equipment and sidelink resource exclusion method
View Patent ↗A user equipment (UE) and a sidelink resource exclusion method are provided. The sidelink resource exclusion method includes identifying a first sidelink resource selected by the UE or reserved by a peer UE in a first slot from a candidate resource set in a resource selection window and in a first sidelink resource pool and excluding the first sidelink resource and/or sidelink subchannels in the first slot from the candidate resource set. This can solve issues in the prior art, increase a number of available resources that can be selected from the remaining candidate resource set, reduce interference to other transmissions in the same sidelink resource pool, reduce probability of transmission (Tx) collisions with other UEs, provide a good communication performance, and/or provide high reliability.
1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver;
wherein the processor is configured to identify a first sidelink resource selected by the LE or reserved by a peer LE in a first slot from a candidate resource set in a resource selection window and in a first sidelink resource pool;
wherein the processor is configured to exclude the first sidelink resource and/or sidelink subchannels in the first slot from the candidate resource set,
wherein the processor is further configured to perform monitoring on configured slots of the first sidelink resource pool by decoding a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) within a sensing window; and
wherein the processor is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels from the candidate resource set according to:
an indicated resource reservation period in a Sidelink Control Information (SCI) during the sensing window; and
a configured subset of allowed reservation periodicities for the first sidelink resource pool in non-monitored slots during the sensing window, wherein a quantity of reservation periodicities in the configured subset is less than a quantity of the allowed reservation periodicities for the first sidelink resource pool.
2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first sidelink resource pool comprises a selected/mode 2 sidelink resource pool.
3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify a second sidelink resource selected by the UE or reserved by the peer UE in a slot that is time overlapped with one or more second slots in the candidate resource set.
4 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels in the one or more second slots from the candidate resource set.
5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the peer UE is from the same sidelink unicast or groupcast session and determined based on a source identifier (ID) and/or a destination ID from a received sidelink control information (SCI).
6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels from the candidate resource set according to
one or more time overlapping slots of one or more transmissions from the UE and/or one or more transmissions from the peer UE.
7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to select one or more sidelink resources from a remaining candidate resource set for a PSCCH transmission and/or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission.
8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the SCI during the sensing window in a sidelink resource exclusion part comprises one or more of the followings:
a frequency allocation information for assigned sidelink resources; or
a time allocation information for assigned current, earlier, and/or future sidelink transmissions.
9 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels in slots that are overlapped with one or more own transmissions and/or one or more peer transmissions from the candidate resource set in the sidelink resource exclusion part.
10 . A sidelink resource exclusion method by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
identifying a first sidelink resource selected by the JE or reserved by a peer UJE in a first slot from a candidate resource set in a resource selection window and in a first sidelink resource pool;
excluding the first sidelink resource and/or sidelink subchannels in the first slot from the candidate resource set;
performing monitoring on configured slots of the first sidelink resource pool by decoding a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) within a sensing window; and
excluding sidelink subchannels from the candidate resource set according to:
an indicated resource reservation period in a Sidelink Control Information (SCI) during the sensing window; and
a configured subset of allowed reservation periodicities for the first sidelink resource pool in non-monitored slots during the sensing window, wherein a quantity of reservation periodicities in the configured subset is less than a quantity of the allowed reservation periodicities for the first sidelink resource pool.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first sidelink resource pool comprises a selected/mode 2 sidelink resource pool.
12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising identifying a second sidelink resource selected by the UE or reserved by the peer UE in a slot that is time overlapped with one or more second slots in the candidate resource set.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the UE is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels in the one or more second slots from the candidate resource set.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the peer UE is from the same sidelink unicast or groupcast session and determined based on a source identifier (ID) and/or a destination ID from a received sidelink control information (SCI).
15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the UE is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels from the candidate resource set according to
one or more time overlapping slots of one or more transmissions from the UE and/or one or more transmissions from the peer UE.
16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the UE is further configured to select one or more sidelink resources from a remaining candidate resource set for a PSCCH transmission and/or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission.
17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the SCI during the sensing window in a sidelink resource exclusion part comprises one or more of the followings:
a frequency allocation information for assigned sidelink resources; or
a time allocation information for assigned current, earlier, and/or future sidelink transmissions.
18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the UE is further configured to exclude sidelink subchannels in slots that are overlapped with one or more own transmissions and/or one or more peer transmissions from the candidate resource set in the sidelink resource exclusion part.
