Abstract

An apparatus may comprise a component for communicating using a first RAT and another component for communicating using a second RAT. Overlapping communication using the two RATs may cause problems for proper reception at the apparatus. The apparatus may detect that transmission or reception of a first packet using a first RAT will overlap in time with reception of a second packet using a second RAT. The apparatus prioritizes the first packet or the second packet based at least on a relative priority of the first packet and the second packet.

Claims (44)

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device based on a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, comprising:

memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to cause the first wireless device to:

receive a prior sidelink transmission from a second wireless device using the second RAT, the second RAT comprising New Radio (NR);

determine a priority level of a second sidelink transmission for reception using the second RAT based on a reservation of sidelink resources for the second sidelink transmission made by the prior sidelink transmission received from the second wireless device, using the second RAT; and

transmit or receive a first sidelink transmission using the first RAT when a priority level for the first sidelink transmission is higher than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission in response to a detection that transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission using the first RAT will overlap in time with reception of the second sidelink transmission using the second RAT, wherein the first RAT is different from the second RAT.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a first control channel or a first data channel using the first RAT, and wherein the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a second control channel or a second data channel using the second RAT.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the first wireless device to:

skip transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission when the priority level for the first sidelink transmission is lower than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the first wireless device to:

prioritize reception of the second sidelink transmission.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first RAT comprises Long Term Evolution (LTE).

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

one or more antennas coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the first wireless device to receive the prior sidelink transmission via the one or more antennas.

7 . A method for wireless communication at a first wireless device based on a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, comprising:

receiving a prior sidelink transmission from a second wireless device using the second RAT, the second RAT comprising New Radio (NR);

determining a priority level of a second sidelink transmission for reception using the second RAT based on a reservation of sidelink resources for the second sidelink transmission made by the prior sidelink transmission received from the second wireless device, using the second RAT; and

transmitting or receiving a first sidelink transmission using the first RAT when a priority level for the first sidelink transmission is higher than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission in response to a detection that transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission using the first RAT will overlap in time with reception of the second sidelink transmission using the second RAT, the first RAT being different from the second RAT.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the first sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a first control channel or a first data channel using the first RAT and the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a second control channel or a second data channel using the second RAT.

9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

skipping transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission when the priority level for the first sidelink transmission is lower than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission.

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

prioritizing reception of the second sidelink transmission.

11 . The method of claim 7 , the first RAT comprising Long Term Evolution (LTE).

12 . A first wireless device for based on a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, comprising:

means for receiving a prior sidelink transmission from a second wireless device using the second RAT, wherein the second RAT comprises New Radio (NR);

means for determining a priority level of a second sidelink transmission for reception using the second RAT based on a reservation of sidelink resources for the second sidelink transmission made by the prior sidelink transmission received from the second wireless device, using the second RAT; and

means for transmitting or receiving a first sidelink transmission using the first RAT when a priority level for the first sidelink transmission is higher than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission in response to a detection that transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission using the first RAT will overlap in time with reception of the second sidelink transmission using the second RAT, wherein the first RAT is different from the second RAT.

13 . The first wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the first sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a first control channel or a first data channel using the first RAT and the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a second control channel or a second data channel using the second RAT.

14 . The first wireless device of claim 12 , further comprising:

means for skipping transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission when the priority level for the first sidelink transmission is lower than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission.

15 . The first wireless device of claim 12 , further comprising:

means for prioritizing reception of the second sidelink transmission.

16 . The first wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the first RAT comprises Long Term Evolution (LTE).

17 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication at a first wireless device based on a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, the code when executed by one or more processors cause the first wireless device to:

receive a prior sidelink transmission from a second wireless device using the second RAT, the second RAT comprising New Radio (NR);

determine a priority level of a second sidelink transmission for reception using the second RAT based on a reservation of sidelink resources for the second sidelink transmission made by the prior sidelink transmission received from the second wireless device, using the second RAT; and

transmit or receive a first sidelink transmission using the first RAT when a priority level for the first sidelink transmission is higher than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission in response to a detection that transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission using the first RAT will overlap in time with reception of the second sidelink transmission using the second RAT, wherein the first RAT is different from the second RAT.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the first sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a first control channel or a first data channel using the first RAT, and wherein the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of a second control channel or a second data channel using the second RAT.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the code when executed by the one or more processors further cause the first wireless device to:

skip transmission or reception of the first sidelink transmission when the priority level for the first sidelink transmission is lower than the priority level of the second sidelink transmission.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the code when executed by the one or more processors further cause the first wireless device to:

prioritize reception of the second sidelink transmission.

21 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the first RAT comprises Long Term Evolution (LTE).
