Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling communication of wireless devices in a wireless communication network ( 1 ). The radio network node configures pools of radio resources for wireless devices to use based on a mode and a capability of the wireless devices, wherein the mode is a resource mode defined by manner of selecting radio resources and the capability is related to sidelink capability of the wireless devices.

Claims (45)

1. A method performed by a radio network node for handling communication of wireless devices in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

configuring a first pool of radio resources for use at least by i) wireless devices having a first resource mode for selecting radio resources and a first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having a second resource mode for selecting radio resources and a second sidelink capability; and

configuring a second pool of radio resources for use at least by wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability, wherein

the first pool is not for use by any wireless device of the second mode and first capability, and

the second pool is not for use by any wireless device of the first mode and first capability.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

transmitting data to one or more wireless devices, wherein the data indicates the configured pools of radio resources.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource mode is defined by selecting radio resources at the wireless device or at the radio network node.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink capability is a capability to set a resource reservation field in a sidelink capability information according to a semi persistent scheduling configuration, a capability to set a mode indicator in a sidelink capability information format, a capability to sense and provide feedback whether a resource is occupied, and/or a capability to receive indication of reserved resources and avoid using these.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink capability is defined by version of the wireless devices.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second pool is for use at least by i) the wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having the first resource mode and the second sidelink capability.

7. A method performed by a wireless device for handling communication of the wireless device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

receiving data from a radio network node, wherein the data indicates:

a) a first pool of radio resources for use at least by i) wireless devices having a first resource mode for selecting radio resources and a first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having a second resource mode for selecting radio resources and a second sidelink capability, and

b) a second pool of radio resources for use at least by wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability; and

using based on the received data one or more radio resources for communicating in the wireless communication network, wherein

the first pool is not for use by any wireless device of the second mode and first capability, and

the second pool is not for use by any wireless device of the first mode and first capability.

8. The method according claim 7 , wherein the resource mode is defined by selecting radio resources at the wireless device or at the radio network node.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink capability is a capability to set a resource reservation field in a sidelink capability information according to a semi persistent scheduling configuration, a capability to set a mode indicator in a sidelink capability information format, a capability to sense and provide feedback whether a resource is occupied, and/or a capability to receive indication of reserved resources and avoid using these.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink capability is defined by version of the wireless devices.

11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the second pool is for use at least by i) the wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having the first resource mode and the second sidelink capability.

12. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions, which, when executed on at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out the method of claim 1 .

13. A radio network node for handling communication of wireless devices in a wireless communication network, wherein the radio network node comprises processing circuitry configured to:

configure a first pool of radio resources for use at least by i) wireless devices having a first resource mode for selecting radio resources and a first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having a second resource mode for selecting radio resources and a second sidelink capability; and

configure a second pool of radio resources for use at least by wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability, wherein

the first pool is not for use by any wireless device of the second mode and first capability, and

the second pool is not for use by any wireless device of the first mode and first capability.

14. The radio network node according to claim 13 , wherein the radio network node is configured to

transmit data to one or more wireless devices, wherein the data indicates the configured pools of radio resources.

15. The radio network node according to claim 13 , wherein the resource mode is defined by selecting radio resources at the wireless device or at the radio network node.

16. The radio network node according to claim 13 , wherein the sidelink capability is a capability to set a resource reservation field in a sidelink capability information according to a semi persistent scheduling configuration, a capability to set a mode indicator in a sidelink capability information format, a capability to sense and provide feedback whether a resource is occupied, and/or a capability to receive indication of reserved resources and avoid using these.

17. The radio network node according to claim 13 , wherein the sidelink capability is defined by version of the wireless devices.

18. The radio network node according to claim 13 , wherein the second pool is for use at least by i) the wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having the first resource mode and the second sidelink capability.

19. A wireless device for handling communication of the wireless device in a wireless communication network, wherein the wireless device comprises processing circuitry configured to:

receive data from a radio network node, wherein the data indicates:

a) a first pool of radio resources for use at least by i) wireless devices having a first resource mode for selecting radio resources and a first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having a second resource mode for selecting radio resources and a second sidelink capability, and

b) a second pool of radio resources for use at least by wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability; and

using based on the received data one or more radio resources for communicating in the wireless communication network, wherein

the first pool is not for use by any wireless device of the second mode and first capability, and

the second pool is not for use by any wireless device of the first mode and first capability.

20. The wireless device according claim 19 , wherein the resource mode is defined by selecting radio resources at the wireless device or at the radio network node.

21. The wireless device according claim 19 , wherein the sidelink capability is a capability to set a resource reservation field in a sidelink capability information according to a semi persistent scheduling configuration, a capability to set a mode indicator in a sidelink capability information format, a capability to sense and provide feedback whether a resource is occupied, and/or a capability to receive indication of reserved resources and avoid using these.

22. The wireless device according to claim 19 , wherein the sidelink capability is defined by version of the wireless devices.

23. The wireless device according to claim 19 , wherein the second pool is for use at least by i) the wireless devices having the second resource mode and the first sidelink capability and ii) wireless devices having the first resource mode and the second sidelink capability.
