Abstract

Wireless communications systems and methods related to reallocating resources assigned to sidelinks are provided. A first user equipment receives a preemption indication from a base station. The preemption indication is for reallocating resources allocated for communication between the first user equipment and the base station and for sidelink communication between the first user equipment and a second user equipment. Based on the preemption indication, the first user equipment reallocates the resources for the communication between the first user equipment and the base station. Based on the preemption indication, the first user equipment reallocates the resources for the sidelink communication between the first user equipment and the second user equipment.

receiving, by the first wireless communication device from the second wireless communication device via the PDCCH, second DCI including the second preemption indication.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

a first portion of a bit comprises the first preemption indication; and

a different second portion of the bit sequence comprises the second preemption indication.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first preemption indication or the second preemption indication is associated with an uplink communication or a downlink communication.

13. A method of wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless communication device from a second wireless communication device;

a first preemption indication for reallocating a resource allocated for non-sidelink communication between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device and for sidelink communication between the first wireless communication device and a third wireless communication device; and

a second preemption indication for reallocating the resource for non-sidelink communication between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device;

preventing, based on at least one of the first preemption indication or the second preemption indication, use of the resource for the non-sidelink communication between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device; and

maintaining, based on at least one of the first preemption indication or the second preemption indication, use of the resource for the sidelink communication between the first wireless communication device and the third wireless communication device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the maintaining the use of the resource for the sidelink communication comprises:

maintaining, by the first wireless communication device, the use of the resource for the sidelink communication further based on a resource allocation mode associated with the sidelink communication.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the maintaining the use of the resource for the sidelink communication comprises:

maintaining, by the first wireless communication device, the use of the resource for the sidelink communication further based on a frequency band to be used for the sidelink communication.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the maintaining the use of the resource for the sidelink communication comprises:
