Abstract

A first wireless device measures a channel busy ratio (CBR). Sidelink control information is received from a second wireless device, via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). The sidelink control information comprises: a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources. A first reference signal received powers (RSRPs) for a first DMRS antenna port of the PSSCH is measured. A second RSRP of the PSSCH is determined based on: the first RSRP, the number of DMRS antenna ports, and the CBR. One or more second resources are selected, based on the second RSRP of the PSSCH, for transmission within a set of candidate resources. One or more transport blocks are transmitted via the one or more second resources.

Claims (64)

1. A method comprising:

measuring, by a first wireless device, a channel busy ratio (CBR);

receiving, by the first wireless device from a second wireless device, via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information comprising:

a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and

resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources;

measuring, by the first wireless device, a first reference signal received power (RSRP) for a first DMRS antenna port of the PSSCH;

determining, by the first wireless device, a second RSRP of the PSSCH based on:

the first RSRP;

the number of DMRS antenna ports; and

the CBR;

selecting, by the first wireless device and based on the second RSRP of the PSSCH, one or more second resources for transmission within a set of candidate resources; and

transmitting, by the first wireless device, one or more transport blocks via the one or more second resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the second RSRP further comprises adding an offset to the first RSRP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the offset is based on the number of DMRS antenna ports.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the offset is per the number of DMRS antenna ports and is indicated by a configuration message.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the configuration message is received from:

a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or

a system information block (SIB).

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein an offset for a larger number of DMRS antenna ports is greater than an offset for a smaller number of DMRS antenna ports.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the offset is based on the CBR.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein an offset for a smaller CBR is greater than an offset of a larger CBR.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the offset is per a range of the CBR and is indicated by:

a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or

a system information block (SIB).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RSRP is measured by linear average over power contributions of resource elements that carry DMRS transmitted in frequency resources indicated by the resource assignment of the PSSCH.

11. A first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:

measure a channel busy ratio (CBR);

receive, from a second wireless device, via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information comprising:

a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and

resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources;

measure a first reference signal received power (RSRP) for a first DMRS antenna port of the PSSCH;

determine a second RSRP of the PSSCH based on:

the first RSRP;

the number of DMRS antenna ports; and

the CBR;

select, based on the second RSRP of the PSSCH, one or more second resources for transmission within a set of candidate resources; and

transmit one or more transport blocks via the one or more second resources.

12. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to add an offset to the first RSRP when determining the second RSRP.

13. The first wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the offset is based on the number of DMRS antenna ports.

14. The first wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the offset is per the number of DMRS antenna ports and is indicated by a configuration message.

15. The first wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the configuration message is received from:

a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or

a system information block (SIB).

16. The first wireless device of claim 13 , wherein an offset for a larger number of DMRS antenna ports is greater than an offset for a smaller number of DMRS antenna ports.

17. The first wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the offset is based on the CBR.

18. The first wireless device of claim 17 , wherein an offset for a smaller CBR is greater than an offset of a larger CBR.

19. The first wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the offset is per a range of the CBR and is indicated by:

a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or

a system information block (SIB).

20. A system comprising:

a second wireless device; and

a first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:

measure a channel busy ratio (CBR);

receive, from the second wireless device, via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information comprising:

a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and

resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources;

measure a first reference signal received power (RSRP) for a first DMRS antenna port of the PSSCH;

determine a second RSRP of the PSSCH based on the first RSRP, the number of DMRS antenna ports, and the CBR;

select one or more second resources for transmission within a set of candidate resources based on the second RSRP of the PSSCH; and

transmit one or more transport blocks via the one or more second resources.
