Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for mobility handling during Vehicle-to-Everything (“V2X”) communication. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that communicates using a first V2X resource while in a first serving cell having a first radio access technology. The processor a processor detects a mobility event of the first cell and switches to a second cell in response to the mobility event, the second cell different than the first cell. The processor communicates using the first V2X resource on the second cell until a trigger condition occurs and switches to a second V2X resource in response to occurrence of the trigger condition.

Claims (31)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a transceiver that communicates using a first Vehicle-to-Everything (“V2X”) resource while in a first serving cell having a first Radio Access Technology (“RAT”); and

a processor that:

detects a mobility event of the first cell;

switches to a second cell in response to the mobility event, the second cell different than the first cell;

communicates using the first V2X resource on the second cell until a trigger condition occurs; and

switches to a second V2X resource in response to occurrence of the trigger condition.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition comprises receiving Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) signaling from the second cell, wherein the RRC signaling indicates the second V2X resource.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one of: re-stablishing a Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) connection in the second cell, completing handover to the second cell, transitioning to a RRC Idle state and successfully transitioning to a RRC Connected state.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one of: expiration of a fallback timer and determining an out-of-coverage state.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second V2X resource is a preconfigured resource for distributed scheduling mode V2X communications.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second V2X resource is selected from a pool of exceptional resources.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the pool of exceptional resources is common to both centralized scheduling mode V2X communications and distributed scheduling mode V2X communications.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition and/or the second V2X resource is configured by the first cell.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second V2X resource is configured by the second cell.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor receives new V2X resource information dedicatedly after completing handover to the second cell, wherein the processor overwrites previously stored V2X resource information.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor receives authorization to perform V2X communication in the second cell while in the coverage of the first cell.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor receives authorization to read and use a resource pool for distributed scheduling mode V2X communications, said authorization received from a neighboring cell having the second cell.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mobility event comprises one of: a handover to a target cell, cell reselection, radio link failure, transitioning a Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) state, and RRC connection re-establishment.

14. A method of a user equipment device (“UE”) comprising:

communicating using a first Vehicle-to-Everything (“V2X”) resource while in a first serving cell having a first Radio Access Technology (“RAT”);

detecting a mobility event of the first cell;

switching to a second cell in response to the mobility event, the second cell different than the first cell;

communicating using the first V2X resource on the second cell until a trigger condition occurs; and

switching to a second V2X resource in response to occurrence of the trigger condition.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the trigger condition comprises receiving Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) signaling from the second cell, wherein the RRC signaling indicates the second V2X resource.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one of: re-stablishing a Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) connection in the second cell, completing handover to the second cell, transitioning to a RRC Idle state and successfully transitioning to a RRC Connected state.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one of: expiration of a fallback timer and determining an out-of-coverage state.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the trigger condition and/or the second V2X resource is configured by the first cell.

19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving authorization to perform V2X communication in the second cell while in the coverage of the first cell.

20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving authorization to read and use a resource pool for distributed scheduling mode V2X communications, said authorization received from a neighboring cell having the second cell.
