Deactivation of configured grant and initiation of connection request upon detection of sidelink failure
A method and apparatus for deactivation of a configured grant and initiation of connection request upon detection of sidelink failure in a wireless communication system is provided. A first wireless device, which performs a sidelink transmission with a second wireless device based on a sidelink configured grant, detects a problem on the sidelink transmission, and deactivates the sidelink configured grant.
1. A method performed by a first wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving sidelink system information broadcast by a second wireless device;
transmitting sidelink user equipment (UE) information to the second wireless device;
receiving a sidelink configured grant;
performing a sidelink communication with the second wireless device based on the sidelink configured grant;
upon detecting a problem on the sidelink communication:
i) deactivating the sidelink configured grant; and
ii) transmitting a deactivation indication including an index of the sidelink configured grant to the second wireless device;
based on the first wireless device being in an idle state, performing a connection establishment procedure with the network;
based on the first wireless device being in an inactive state, performing a connection resume procedure with the network; and
informing the network of a source Layer-2 ID of the second wireless device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the problem on the sidelink communication is detected by a failure of detecting signals from the second wireless device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink configured grant is configured by the network.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink configured grant is configured by the second wireless device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink configured grant is related to a group including the first wireless device and the second wireless device.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising autonomously selecting sidelink resources from a pool of resources upon deactivating the sidelink configured grant.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the first wireless device.
8. A first wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the first wireless device comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the first wireless device is configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving sidelink system information broadcast by a second wireless device;
transmitting sidelink user equipment (UE) information to the second wireless device;
receiving a sidelink configured grant;
perform a sidelink communication with the second wireless device based on the sidelink configured grant;
upon detecting a problem on the sidelink transmission; and:
i) deactivating the sidelink configured grant; and
ii) transmitting a deactivation indication including an index of the sidelink configured grant to the second wireless device;
based on the first wireless device being in an idle state, performing a connection establishment procedure with the network;
based on the first wireless device being in an inactive state, performing a connection resume procedure with the network; and
informing the network of a source Layer-2 ID of the second wireless device.
