Method and apparatus for performing simultaneous sidelink discontinuous (DRX) and uplink DRX in new radio (NR) vehicle to everything (V2X)
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured for sidelink (SL) communication. The WTRU may receive SL discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information from a peer SL WTRU. The SL DRX configuration information may comprise timer information. The timer information may comprise at least a SL on-duration timer, a SL inactivity timer, a SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer, and a SL HARQ retransmission timer. The WTRU may apply the received SL DRX configuration information. The WTRU may report, on a condition that the WTRU has a connection to a network entity, to the network entity that the WTRU applied the received SL DRX configuration information.
1. A method for discontinuous reception (DRX) for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured for sidelink (SL) communication, the method comprising:
receiving SL DRX configuration information from a peer SL WTRU, wherein the SL DRX configuration information comprises timer information, wherein the timer information comprises at least a SL on-duration timer, a SL inactivity timer, a SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer, and a SL HARQ retransmission timer;
accepting the received SL DRX configuration information; and
sending, on a condition that the WTRU has a radio resource control (RRC) connection to a base station, a message to the base station, wherein the message indicates that the WTRU accepted the received SL DRX configuration information from the peer SL WTRU, wherein the message is sent in an RRC information element, and wherein the message indicates the accepted SL DRX configuration information including at least the SL on-duration timer and a SL DRX slot offset.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accepting the received SL DRX configuration information comprises applying the received SL DRX configuration.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the applying the received SL DRX configuration information comprises setting a SL activity behavior.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accepting the received SL DRX configuration information comprises setting a SL active time value.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU maintains independent timers related to Uu DRX and SL DRX.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message that the WTRU accepted the SL DRX configuration information is sent in a SL information element.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU receives the SL DRX configuration information via PC5 signaling.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a second message to the peer SL WTRU in response to the accepted SL DRX configuration information, wherein the second message indicates that the WTRU accepted the received SL DRX configuration information.
9. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured for sidelink (SL) communication, the WTRU comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor, wherein:
the transceiver is configured to receive SL discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information from a peer SL WTRU, wherein the SL DRX configuration information comprises timer information, wherein the timer information comprises at least a SL on-duration timer, a SL inactivity timer, a SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer, and a SL HARQ retransmission timer;
the processor is configured to determine whether to accept the received SL DRX configuration information;
the transceiver is further configured to, on a condition that the processor determines to accept the received SL DRX configuration information and based at least on a condition that the WTRU has a radio resource control (RRC) connection to a base station, send a first message to the base station, wherein the first message indicates that the WTRU accepted the received SL DRX configuration information from the peer SL WTRU, wherein the first message is sent in an RRC information element, and wherein the first message indicates the accepted SL DRX configuration information including at least the SL on-duration timer and a SL DRX slot offset; and
the transceiver is further configured to, on a condition that the processor determines not to accept the received SL DRX configuration information, send a second message to the peer SL WTRU that indicates that the WTRU does not accept the received SL DRX configuration information.
10. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to accept the received SL DRX configuration by applying the received SL DRX configuration information.
11. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to apply the received SL DRX configuration information by setting a SL activity behavior.
12. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to accept the received SL DRX configuration information by setting a SL active time value.
13. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU maintains independent timers related to Uu DRX and SL DRX.
14. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to send the first message that the WTRU accepted the SL DRX configuration information in a SL information element.
15. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the SL DRX configuration information via PC5 signaling.
16. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit a third message to the peer SL WTRU in response to the accepted SL DRX configuration information, wherein the third message indicates that the WTRU accepted the received SL DRX configuration information.
