Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for multiple resource allocation mode configurations. One method includes receiving information indicating a plurality of resource allocation mode configurations. Each resource allocation mode configuration corresponds to a logical channel of a plurality of logical channels. The method includes determining a plurality of data transmission scheduling modes for the plurality of logical channels. Each data transmission scheduling mode corresponds to a logical channel of the plurality of logical channels based a resource allocation mode configuration of the logical channel, and each data transmission scheduling mode comprises: a first scheduling mode; a second scheduling mode different from the first scheduling mode; or a third scheduling mode comprising the first scheduling mode and the second scheduling mode. The method includes transmitting a buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes.

Claims (36)

1. A method comprising:

receiving information indicating a plurality of resource allocation mode configurations, wherein each resource allocation mode configuration of the plurality of resource allocation mode configurations corresponds to a logical channel of a plurality of logical channels;

determining a plurality of data transmission scheduling modes for the plurality of logical channels, wherein each data transmission scheduling mode of the plurality of data transmission scheduling modes corresponds to a logical channel of the plurality of logical channels based a resource allocation mode configuration of the logical channel, and each data transmission scheduling mode comprises:

a first scheduling mode;

a second scheduling mode different from the first scheduling mode; or

a third scheduling mode comprising the first scheduling mode and the second scheduling mode; and

transmitting a buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes;

wherein sidelink resources scheduled by a base unit are preempted by an autonomous transmission in response to autonomous data corresponding to the autonomous transmission having a higher priority than scheduled data corresponding to the sidelink resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes comprises only including data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the first scheduling mode.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes comprises including data for all logical channels of the plurality of logical channels.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering the transmission of the buffer status report in response to logical channels of the plurality of logical channels that have a data transmission scheduling mode comprising the first scheduling mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a sidelink grant received by a control channel has a higher priority than an autonomously generated sidelink grant.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a sidelink grant from a base unit, wherein, in response to receiving the sidelink grant from the base unit, data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels is only included if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the first scheduling mode.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting a sidelink grant, wherein, in response to selecting the sidelink grant, data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels is only included if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the second scheduling mode.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling mode comprises a first power control loop and the second scheduling mode comprises a second power control loop, and the first power control loop is independent from the second power control loop.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling mode comprises a first power control loop and the second scheduling mode comprises a second power control loop, and the first power control loop and the second power control loop are related to one another.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting initial feedback using the first scheduling mode and retransmitting feedback using the second scheduling mode.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting initial feedback using the second scheduling mode and retransmitting feedback using the first scheduling mode.

12. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver that receives information indicating a plurality of resource allocation mode configurations, wherein each resource allocation mode configuration of the plurality of resource allocation mode configurations corresponds to a logical channel of a plurality of logical channels;

a processor that determines a plurality of data transmission scheduling modes for the plurality of logical channels, wherein each data transmission scheduling mode of the plurality of data transmission scheduling modes corresponds to a logical channel of the plurality of logical channels based a resource allocation mode configuration of the logical channel, and each data transmission scheduling mode comprises:

a first scheduling mode;

a second scheduling mode different from the first scheduling mode; or

a third scheduling mode comprising the first scheduling mode and the second scheduling mode; and

a transmitter that transmits a buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes;

wherein sidelink resources scheduled by a base unit are preempted by an autonomous transmission in response to autonomous data corresponding to the autonomous transmission having a higher priority than scheduled data corresponding to the sidelink resources.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the transmitter transmitting the buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes comprises only including data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the first scheduling mode.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the transmitter transmitting the buffer status report based on the plurality of the data transmission scheduling modes comprises including data for all logical channels of the plurality of logical channels.

15. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor triggers the transmission of the buffer status report in response to logical channels of the plurality of logical channels that have a data transmission scheduling mode comprising the first scheduling mode.

16. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein a sidelink grant received by a control channel has a higher priority than an autonomously generated sidelink grant.

17. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the receiver receives a sidelink grant from a base unit, and, in response to receiving the sidelink grant from the base unit, data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels is only included if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the first scheduling mode.

18. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor selects a sidelink grant, and, in response to selecting the sidelink grant, data for logical channels of the plurality of logical channels is only included if the data transmission scheduling mode of the logical channels comprises the second scheduling mode.

19. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first scheduling mode comprises a first power control loop and the second scheduling mode comprises a second power control loop, and the first power control loop is independent from the second power control loop.

20. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first scheduling mode comprises a first power control loop and the second scheduling mode comprises a second power control loop, and the first power control loop and the second power control loop are related to one another.

21. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the transmitter transmits initial feedback using the first scheduling mode and retransmitting feedback using the second scheduling mode.

22. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the transmitter transmits initial feedback using the second scheduling mode and retransmitting feedback using the first scheduling mode.
