Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages. The one or more messages comprise a sidelink priority for a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool; a first priority threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and a second priority threshold for the sidelink resource pool. The sidelink transmission overlapping with a configured uplink transmission is transmitted based on comparing the sidelink priority with: the first priority threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a first priority class; and the second priority threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a second priority class.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising:

a sidelink priority for a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool;

a first priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

a second priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

transmitting, the sidelink transmission via a sidelink channel overlapping with an uplink channel having a configured uplink transmission, based on comparing the sidelink priority with:

the first priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being a first priority class; and

the second priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being a second priority class.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the comparing is based on determining the sidelink priority has a higher priority than a priority corresponding to the first priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being the first priority class.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the comparing is based on determining the sidelink priority has a higher priority than a priority corresponding to the second priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being the second priority class.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second priority class indicates the uplink channel is associated with a first service.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first service is an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC), wherein the second priority class is higher than the first priority class.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a transmission power for the sidelink transmission in response to the sidelink priority being higher than one of the first priority class threshold or the second priority class threshold, wherein the one is selected based on a priority class of the uplink channel.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reducing a configured transmission power for the sidelink transmission in response to the sidelink priority being lower than or equal to one of the first priority class threshold or the second priority class threshold, wherein the one is selected based on a priority class of the uplink channel.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages further indicates a first power threshold and a second power threshold.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising limiting a maximum transmission power of a second sidelink transmission to less than or equal to the first power threshold in response to a second sidelink priority of the second sidelink transmission being less than or equal to the first priority class threshold.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising limiting a maximum transmission power of a second sidelink transmission to less than or equal to the second power threshold in response to a second priority of the second sidelink transmission being less than or equal to the second priority class threshold.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive one or more messages comprising:

a sidelink priority for a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool;

a first priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

a second priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

transmit, the sidelink transmission via a sidelink channel overlapping with an uplink channel having a configured uplink transmission, based on comparing the sidelink priority with:

the first priority class threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a first priority class; and

the second priority class threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a second priority class.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the comparing is based on determining the sidelink priority has a higher priority than a priority corresponding to the first priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being the first priority class.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the comparing is based on determining the sidelink priority has a higher priority than a priority corresponding to the second priority class threshold in response to the uplink channel being the second priority class.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second priority class indicates the uplink channel is associated with a first service.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine a transmission power for the sidelink transmission in response to the sidelink priority being higher than one of the first priority class threshold or the second priority class threshold, wherein the one is selected based on a priority class of the configured uplink transmission.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to reduce a configured transmission power for the sidelink transmission in response to the sidelink priority being lower than or equal to one of the first priority class threshold or the second priority class threshold, wherein the one is selected based on a priority class of the uplink channel.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more messages further indicates a first power threshold and a second power threshold.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to limit a maximum transmission power of a second sidelink transmission to less than or equal to the first power threshold in response to a second sidelink priority of the second sidelink transmission being less than or equal to the first priority class threshold.

19. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to limit a maximum transmission power of a second sidelink transmission to less than or equal to the second power threshold in response to a second priority of the second sidelink transmission being less than or equal to the second priority class threshold.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more first processors; and

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

transmit one or more messages comprising:

a sidelink priority for a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool;

a first priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

a second priority class threshold for the sidelink resource pool; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive the one or more messages; and

transmit, the sidelink transmission via a sidelink channel overlapping with an uplink channel having a configured uplink transmission, based on comparing the sidelink priority with:

the first priority class threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a first priority class; and

the second priority class threshold in response to the configured uplink transmission being a second priority class.
