Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages indicating transmission resource pools of a sidelink, where the transmission resource pools comprise a first transmission resource pool and a second transmission resource pool. In some cases, the wireless device is allowed to use the second transmission resource pool based on one or more thresholds associated with sidelink transport blocks. Based on a transport block meeting the one or more thresholds, the wireless device selects one or more sidelink resources from the second transmission resource pool. The wireless device transmits the transport block via the one or more sidelink resources.

Claims (80)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages indicating transmission resource pools of a sidelink, wherein the transmission resource pools comprise:

a first transmission resource pool, wherein the wireless device is allowed to use the first transmission resource pool in a first geographical zone in which the wireless device is located; and

a second transmission resource pool of one or more second transmission resource pools, wherein the wireless device is allowed to use the second transmission resource pool in a second geographical zone outside where the wireless device is located, wherein the one or more second transmission resource pools comprise the first transmission resource pool, and wherein the wireless device is allowed to use the first transmission resource pool based on at least one of:

a transport block being associated with a latency that exceeds a latency threshold for the first transmission resource pool;

the transport block being associated with a priority that exceeds a priority threshold for the first transmission resource pool;

the transport block being associated with a target coverage that exceeds a target coverage threshold for the first transmission resource pool; or

the transport block being associated with a target reliability that exceeds a target reliability threshold for the first transmission resource pool;

selecting one or more sidelink resources from:

the first transmission resource pool based on the wireless device being in the first geographical zone; or

the second transmission resource pool based on the wireless device being in the second geographical zone; and

transmitting the transport block via the one or more sidelink resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission resource pool is received from a base station for the first geographical zone in which the wireless device is located.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second transmission resource pool of the one or more second transmission resource pools, is received from a base station for the second geographical zone outside where the wireless device is located.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the transport block via the one or more sidelink resources when the wireless device in the first geographical zone or the second geographical zone.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a configuration of the first geographical zone comprises at least one of:

a latitude boundary parameter of the first geographical zone;

a longitude boundary parameter of the first geographical zone;

an altitude boundary parameter of the first geographical zone;

a first number of zones in latitude direction;

a second number of zones in longitude direction; or

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting:

a first number of transmission resources from the first transmission resource pool for a first transport block; and

a second number of transmission resources from the second transmission resource pool for a second transport block.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a configuration associated with the transmission resource pools comprises at least a sidelink resource pool bitmap.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is allowed to use the second transmission resource pool based on at least one of:
