Abstract

Method, systems and devices for sidelink system information transmissions. The method comprises receiving, from a base station, periodically broadcast system information comprising sidelink indication information and receiving, from the base station, sidelink transmission resource configuration information.

Claims (34)

1. A wireless communication method for use in a user equipment, the wireless communication method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, periodically broadcast system information comprising sidelink indication information;

receiving, from the base station, sidelink transmission resource configuration information; and

establishing a connection with the base station and receiving, from the base station, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information when determining the periodically broadcast system information does not have sidelink transmission resource configuration information,

wherein the sidelink indication information comprises at least one of an indication of whether sidelink transmissions are enabled for RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE_UE, an indication of whether a sidelink transmission resource pool is provided in on-demand system information, an indication of whether sidelink radio bearer configuration is provided in the on-demand system information, a sidelink transmission resource pool or a sidelink exceptional transmission resource pool.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the step of receiving, from the base station, the sidelink resource configuration information comprises:

transmitting, to the base station, a system information request message, and

receiving, from the base station, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information from on-demand system information.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing sidelink transmissions based on the sidelink transmission resource configuration information.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein a radio resource control state of the user equipment is one of an idle state or an inactive state.

5. A wireless communication method for use in a base station, the wireless communication method comprising:

periodically broadcasting system information comprising sidelink indication information, and

transmitting, to a user equipment, sidelink transmission resource configuration information; and

establishing a connection with the user equipment and transmitting, to the user equipment, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information when the periodically broadcast system information does not have sidelink transmission resource configuration information,

wherein the sidelink indication information comprises at least one of an indication of whether sidelink transmissions are enabled for RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE_UE, an indication of whether a sidelink transmission resource pool is provided in on-demand system information, an indication of whether sidelink radio bearer configuration is provided in on-demand system information, a sidelink transmission resource pool or a sidelink exceptional transmission resource pool.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the step of transmitting, to the user equipment, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information comprises:

transmitting, to the user equipment, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information in on-demand system information.

7. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein a radio resource control state of the user equipment is one of an idle state or an inactive state.

8. A network device comprising:

a processor configured to receive, via a transceiver from a base station, periodically broadcast system information comprising sidelink indication information and sidelink transmission resource configuration information; and

establish a connection with the base station and receive, from the base station, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information when determining the periodically broadcast system information does not have sidelink transmission resource configuration information,

wherein the sidelink indication information comprises at least one of an indication of whether sidelink transmissions are enabled for RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE_UE, an indication of whether a sidelink transmission resource pool is provided in on-demand system information, an indication of whether sidelink radio bearer configuration is provided in the on-demand system information, a sidelink transmission resource pool or a sidelink exceptional transmission resource pool.

9. The network device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver to the base station a system information request message, and

receive, via the transceiver from the base station, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information from on-demand system information.

10. The network device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform sidelink transmissions based on the sidelink transmission resource configuration information.

11. A network node comprising:

a processor configured to periodically broadcast system information comprising sidelink indication information, and to transmit, via a transceiver to a user equipment, sidelink transmission resource configuration information; and

establish a connection with the user equipment and transmit, via the transceiver to the user equipment, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information when the periodically broadcast system information does not have sidelink transmission resource configuration information,

wherein the sidelink indication information comprises at least one of an indication of whether sidelink transmissions are enabled for RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE_UE, an indication of whether a sidelink transmission resource pool is provided in on-demand system information, an indication of whether sidelink radio bearer configuration is provided in on-demand system information, a sidelink transmission resource pool or a sidelink exceptional transmission resource pool.

12. The network node according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver to the user equipment, the sidelink transmission resource configuration information in on-demand system information.
