Sidelink DRX operation based on multiple DRX configurations and prioritization

1 . A method performed by a third wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

establishing a first PC5-Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a first wireless device, wherein the first PC5-RRC connection is a logical connection between the first wireless device and the third wireless device for a first pair of source and destination;

establishing a second PC5-RRC connection with a second wireless device, wherein the second PC5-RRC connection is a logical connection between the second wireless device and the third wireless device for a second pair of source and destination;

receiving, from the first wireless device, a first Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration;

receiving, from the second wireless device, a second SL DRX configuration; and

transmitting, to a network, an RRC message including the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration,

wherein each of the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration is constructed for each destination in the RRC message.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SL DRX configuration is provided from the network to the first wireless device and/or determined by the first wireless device,

wherein the second SL DRX configuration is provided from the network to the second wireless device and/or determined by the second wireless device, and

wherein the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration are configured for same destination, same pair of source/destination and/or same PC5-RRC connection.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein a first set of time durations is determined based on the first SL DRX configuration,

wherein a second set of time durations is determined based on the second SL DRX configuration, and

wherein each time duration includes at least one Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) duration.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein only time durations overlapped by both the first set of time durations and the second set of time durations are monitored.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein i) time durations overlapped by both the first set of time durations and the second set of time durations, and ii) either one of the first set of time durations and the second set of time durations are monitored.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein both the first set of time durations and the second set of time durations are monitored.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on deprioritizing sidelink reception, monitoring PSCCH transmission related to the deprioritized sidelink reception is skipped.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a PSCCH transmission indicating a higher priority value than a priority value of an overlapped transmission and/or the PSCCH transmission indicating that a corresponding Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) transmission is deprioritized or not prioritized, monitoring the corresponding PSSCH transmission is skipped.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the overlapped transmission includes at least one of a sidelink transmission, a sidelink reception, a downlink reception and/or an uplink transmission.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein information on a duration for the skipped corresponding PSSCH duration is informed to the network and/or the first wireless device and/or the second wireless device.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the third wireless device is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the third wireless device.

12 . A third wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the third wireless device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

establishing a first PC5-Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a first wireless device, wherein the first PC5-RRC connection is a logical connection between the first wireless device and the third wireless device for a first pair of source and destination;

establishing a second PC5-RRC connection with a second wireless device, wherein the second PC5-RRC connection is a logical connection between the second wireless device and the third wireless device for a second pair of source and destination;

receiving, from the first wireless device via the at least one transceiver, a first Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration;

receiving, from the second wireless device via the at least one transceiver, a second SL DRX configuration; and

transmitting, to a network via the at least one transceiver, an RRC message including the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration,

wherein each of the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration is constructed for each destination in the RRC message.

13 . A base station adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting, via the at least one transceiver, system information; and

receiving, from a third wireless device via the at least one transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) message including a first Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration and a second SL DRX configuration,

wherein each of the first SL DRX configuration and the second SL DRX configuration is constructed for each destination in the RRC message,

wherein the first SL DRX configuration is provided from a first wireless device to the third wireless device,

wherein a first PC5-Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection is established between the first wireless device and the third wireless device for a first pair of source and destination,

wherein the second SL DRX configuration is provided from a second wireless device to the third wireless device, and

wherein a second PC5-RRC connection is established between the second wireless device and the third wireless device for a second pair of source and destination.
