Abstract

An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communication. The processing circuitry is to determine a set of candidate resources of the UE from a sidelink resource pool, the sidelink resource divided into multiple time slots, frequency channels, and frequency sub-channels. Sidelink control information (SCI) is encoded for transmission to a second UE via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). The SCI indicates a plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources. A transport block is mapped across the plurality of transmission resources. A physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) is encoded for transmission to the second UE using the plurality of transmission resources, the PSSCH encoded to include the mapped transport block.

Claims (54)

1 . A baseband processor, comprising:

a memory; and

processing circuitry configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, perform operations comprising:

encoding first sidelink control information (SCI) for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the first SCI indicates a reservation of a first transmission resource for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission, and wherein the first SCI is based, at least in part, on a second SCI received from the UE;

before transmission of the PSSCH transmission on the first transmission resource, performing sensing on at least the first transmission resource;

selecting at least one second transmission resource from a set of candidate resources based on the sensing; and

encoding the PSSCH transmission for transmission to the UE on the second transmission resource.

2 . The baseband processor of claim 1 ,

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, perform operations comprising:

determining a set of candidate resources from a sidelink resource pool.

3 . The baseband processor of claim 2 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels.

4 . The baseband processor of claim 1 ,

wherein the PSSCH is encoded to include a transport block.

5 . The baseband processor of claim 1 ,

wherein the first transmission resource comprises transmission resources of a set of candidate resources determined from a sidelink resource pool based on a sensing on the set of candidate resources.

6 . The baseband processor of claim 5 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub- channels.

7 . The baseband processor of claim 2 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots, frequency channels, and frequency sub-channels.

8 . A method, comprising:

encoding first sidelink control information (SCI) for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the first SCI indicates a reservation of a first transmission resource for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission, and wherein the first SCI is based, at least in part, on a second SCI received from the UE;

before transmission of the PSSCH transmission on the first transmission resource, performing sensing on at least the first transmission resource;

selecting at least one second transmission resource from a set of candidate resources based on the sensing; and

encoding the PSSCH transmission for transmission to the UE on the second transmission resource.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining a set of candidate resources from a sidelink resource pool.

10 . The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels.

11 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the PSSCH is encoded to include a transport block.

12 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the first transmission resource comprises transmission resources of a set of candidate resources determined from a sidelink resource pool based on a sensing on the set of candidate resources.

13 . The method of claim 12 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels.

14 . The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots, frequency channels, and frequency sub-channels.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing instructions executable by processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:

encoding first sidelink control information (SCI) for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the first SCI indicates a reservation of a first transmission resource for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission, and wherein the first SCI is based, at least in part, on a second SCI received from the UE;

before transmission of the PSSCH transmission on the first transmission resource, performing sensing on at least the first transmission resource;

selecting at least one second transmission resource from a set of candidate resources based on the sensing; and

encoding the PSSCH transmission for transmission to the UE on the second transmission resource.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable memory medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the instructions are further executable by the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:

determining a set of candidate resources from a sidelink resource pool, wherein the sidelink resource pool is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable memory medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the PSSCH is encoded to include a transport block.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable memory medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the first transmission resource comprises transmission resources of a set of candidate resources determined from a sidelink resource pool based on a sensing on the set of candidate resources.
