Abstract

An apparatus decodes sidelink control information to obtain resource reservation information for sidelink communication. The apparatus maintains a mapping of the resource reservation information. The apparatus reports information comprised in the mapping to a base station.

Claims (66)

1 . A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

decoding sidelink control information to obtain resource reservation information for sidelink communication;

maintaining a mapping of the resource reservation information, wherein for a reserved resource, the mapping includes at least a cell identifier (ID) of a granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication, wherein the sidelink control information comprises the cell ID of the granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication; and

reporting information comprised in the mapping to a base station that is not the granting base station.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping comprises the resource reservation information received from multiple UEs.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource reservation information includes resources reserved for communication that is not directed to the UE.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein for the reserved resource, the mapping further includes a signal measurement for the reserved resource and at least one of a source ID for the reserved resource or a destination ID for the reserved resource.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reporting a subset of reserved resources from the mapping, wherein the subset of reserved resources includes one or more of:

a first resource reservation based on grants with a second cell ID from a second base station, or

a second resource reservation for which the UE is an intended receiver.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a request to report the information comprised in the mapping, wherein report of the information is based on the request.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the request comprises:

receiving the request from the base station.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the request is received via at least one of radio resource control (RRC) signaling or downlink control information (DCI).

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the request comprises a DCI format.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the RRC signaling or the DCI indicates a signal measurement threshold, and wherein the report of the information is based on the signal measurement threshold is met.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the DCI format comprises a sidelink grant format.

12 . The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the request comprises:

receiving the request over a sidelink.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

decode sidelink control information to obtain resource reservation information for sidelink communication;

maintain a mapping of the resource reservation information, wherein for a reserved resource, the mapping includes at least a cell identifier (ID) of a granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication, wherein the sidelink control information comprises the cell ID of the granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication; and

report information comprised in the mapping to a base station that is not the granting base station.

14 . A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a mapping of resource reservation information for sidelink communication, wherein for a reserved resource, the mapping includes at least a cell identifier (ID) of a granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication, wherein the cell ID of the granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication is included in sidelink control information; and

allocating, for at least a second UE based on the resource reservation information, a set of resources for the sidelink communication.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein allocating the set of resources for the sidelink communication comprises:

avoiding allocating overlapping resources for the sidelink communication.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the mapping includes sidelink resource reservations received by the UE from multiple other UEs.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the mapping includes a set of reserved resources for the sidelink communication that is not directed to the UE.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the mapping further includes a signal measurement for the reserved resource and at least one of a source ID for the reserved resource or a destination ID for the reserved resource.

19 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the mapping includes one or more of:

a first resource reservation based on grants with a second cell ID from a second base station, or

a second resource reservation for which the UE is an intended receiver.

20 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a request to report the mapping, wherein reception of the mapping is based on the request.

21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the request is transmitted via at least one of radio resource control (RRC) signaling or downlink control information (DCI).

22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the request comprises a DCI format.

23 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the RRC signaling or the DCI indicates a signal measurement threshold for the UE to report the resource reservation information to the base station.

24 . The method of claim 21 , further comprising:

indicating in coverage UEs to report the resource reservation information.

25 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the DCI format comprises a sidelink grant format.

26 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), a mapping of resource reservation information for sidelink communication, wherein for a reserved resource, the mapping includes at least a cell identifier (ID) of a granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication, wherein the cell ID of the granting base station that granted the reserved resource for the sidelink communication is included in sidelink control information; and

allocate, for at least a second UE based on the mapping, a set of resources for the sidelink communication.

27 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the mapping includes sidelink resource reservations received by the UE from multiple other UEs.

28 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE, a request to report the mapping, wherein reception of the mapping is based on the request.

29 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
