Abstract

An apparatus of a first user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to generate a message for a second UE to configure a New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the message includes a Quality of Service (QoS) metric to encode a plurality of QoS parameters for the NR V2X link, and to encode a packet for the second UE according to the QoS parameter. The apparatus can include a memory to store the message.

Claims (24)

1. An apparatus of a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

radio frequency circuitry configured to communicate with a second UE; and

one or more baseband processors to generate a message for the second UE to configure a New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the message includes a Quality of Service (QoS) metric that represents a set of QoS parameters comprising at least a priority parameter value, a delay parameter value and a reliability parameter value for the NR V2X link, and to encode a packet for the second UE according to the QoS parameter.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QoS metric includes a Proximity Services (ProSe) per-packet priority (PPPP) parameter having a value from one to 16.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QoS metric includes a Proximity Services (ProSe) per-packet reliability (PPPR) parameter having a value from one to 16.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QoS metric includes latency requirement parameter.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameters are selected based on an intended use for the NR V2X link.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the message is to be broadcast to a plurality of UE and the QoS metric is selected based on an operational mode for the NR V2X sidelink.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the message is to be broadcast using a same QoS metric as a unicast link between the first UE and the second UE.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameter includes a subset of available QoS parameters for the NR V2X link.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first UE and the second UE are to exchange QoS parameters to be used over the NR V2X link.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the QoS parameters are mapped to a unique source identifier (ID) and a unique destination ID for the NR V2X link.

11. Non-transitory machine-readable media having instructions thereon that, when executed by an apparatus of a first user equipment (UE), result in:

generating a message for a second UE to configure a New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the message includes a Quality of Service (QoS) metric that represents a set of QoS parameters comprising at least a priority parameter value, a delay parameter value and a reliability parameter value for the NR V2X link; and

encoding a packet for the second UE according to the QoS parameter.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the QoS metric includes a Proximity Services (ProSe) per-packet priority (PPPP) parameter having a value from one to 16.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the QoS metric includes a Proximity Services (ProSe) per-packet reliability (PPPR) parameter having a value from one to 16.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the QoS metric includes latency requirement parameter.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the QoS parameters are selected based on an intended use for the NR V2X link.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the message is to be broadcast to a plurality of UE and the QoS metric is selected based on an operational mode for the NR V2X sidelink.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 16 , wherein the message is to be broadcast using a same QoS metric as a unicast link between the first UE and the second UE.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the QoS parameter includes a subset of available QoS parameters for the NR V2X link.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the first UE and the second UE are to exchange QoS parameters to be used over the NR V2X link.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable media of claim 19 , wherein the QoS parameter are mapped to a unique source identifier (ID) and a unique destination ID for the NR V2X.
