Scheduling communication in a wireless communication system
A base station (BS), transmitting a plurality of resource allocations for a group of user equipments (UEs) for communication of UEs in proximity to each other, wherein one or more of the UEs select at least one resource from the plurality of resources allocations to communicate that is utilized to communicate with at least one other UE in the group of UEs.
1. A method performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:
receiving a communication indicating a location of a first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to a second UE; and
transmitting, based on the first UE and the second UE being in proximity, scheduling information to the first UE indicating first frequency resources for the first UE to transmit first uplink data to the second UE in a time slot, and indicating second frequency resources that at least partially overlap with the first frequency resources in the time slot.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving location information from one of the UEs of a group of UEs; and
transmitting information to the one UE associated with being in proximity to another UE.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein another UE in proximity to the first UE is scheduled to receive data in the time slot.
4. At least one non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a base station (BS) to perform a method of:
receiving a communication indicating a location of a first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to a second UE; and
transmitting, based on the first UE and the second UE being in proximity, scheduling information to the first UE indicating first frequency resources for the first UE to transmit first uplink data to the second UE in a time slot, and indicating second frequency resources that at least partially overlap with the first frequency resources in the time slot.
5. The at least one non-transient computer readable medium of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving location information from one of the UEs of a group of UEs; and
transmitting information to the one UE associated with being in proximity to another UE.
6. The at least one non-transient computer readable medium of claim 4 wherein another UE in proximity to the first UE is scheduled to receive data in the time slot.
7. A base station (BS) comprising:
a transceiver, and
a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein:
the transceiver and the processor are configured to:
receive a communication indicating a location of a first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to a second UE; and
transmit based on the first UE and the second UE being in proximity, scheduling information to the first UE indicating first frequency resources for the first UE to transmit first uplink data to the second UE in a time slot, and indicating second frequency resources that at least partially overlap with the first frequency resources in the time slot.
8. The BS of claim 7 , further configured to:
receive location information from one of the UEs of a group of UEs and transmit information to the one UE associated with being in proximity to another UE.
9. The BS of claim 7 , wherein another UE in proximity to the first UE is scheduled to receive data in the time slot.
10. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting a communication indicating a location of the first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to a second UE;
receiving scheduling information, responsive to the transmitted communication indicating the location of the first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to the second UE, wherein the scheduling information indicates first frequency resources for the first UE to transmit first uplink data to the second UE in a time slot, and indicating second frequency resources that at least partially overlap with the first frequency resources in the time slot; and
transmitting data using the indicated first frequency resources in the time slot to the second UE based on the received scheduling information.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
transmitting location information from one of the UEs of a group of UEs; and
receiving information to the one UE associated with being in proximity to another UE.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
transmitting the data using the second frequency resources in the time slot to the second UE.
13. A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver, and
a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein:
the transceiver and the processor are configured to:
transmit, via the transceiver, a communication indicating a location of the first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to a second UE;
receive scheduling information, responsive to the transmitted communication indicating the location of the first UE, wherein the first UE is in proximity to the second UE, wherein the scheduling information indicates first frequency resources for the first UE to transmit first uplink data to the second UE in a time slot, and indicating second frequency resources that at least partially overlap with the first frequency resources in the time slot; and
transmit data using the indicated first frequency resources in the time slot to the second UE based on the received scheduling information.
14. The UE of claim 13 , further configured to:
transmit location information from one of the UEs of a group of UEs; and
receive information to the one UE associated with being in proximity to another UE.
15. The UE of claim 13 , further configured to:
transmit the data using the second frequency resources in the time slot to the second UE.
