Abstract

In accordance to embodiments, a base station may transmit to a first user equipment (UE) a downlink control information (DCI) message for uplink (UL) scheduling of a second UE. The DCI message may indicate resources for sending a UL message by the second UE to the base station such that the first UE can at least partially decode the UL message based on the information in the DCI message. The base station may receive the UL message from the second UE. The base station may send a downlink (DL) message to the first UE. The UL message and the DL message may overlap at least partially in time and frequency. If the DL UE cannot successfully decode the UL message, the base station may send a helper message for the UL message to help the DL to decode the UL message.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a first user equipment (UE) from a base station, a downlink control information (DCI) message for uplink (UL) scheduling of a second UE, the DCI message indicating resources for transmitting a UL message by the second UE such that the first UE can at least partially decode the UL message based on the DCI message and mitigate interference caused by the UL message;
and
receiving, by the first UE from the base station, a downlink (DL) message, wherein the UL message transmitted by the second UE and the DL message overlap at least partially in time and in frequency;
the method further comprising:
receiving, by the first UE from the second UE, a sidelink (SL) message, wherein the base station decodes the SL message transmitted from the second UE to the first UE, the SL message transmitted by the second UE simultaneously with the UL message using a beamforming technique.

2 more elements

A first user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor;
and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions for:
receiving, from a base station, a downlink control information (DCI) message for uplink (UL) scheduling of a second UE, the DCI message indicating resources for transmitting a UL message by the second UE such that the first UE can at least partially decode the UL message based on the DCI message and mitigate interference caused by the UL message;
and
receiving, from the base station, a downlink (DL) message, wherein the UL message transmitted by the second UE and the DL message overlap at least partially in time and in frequency;
the programming further including instructions for:
receiving, from the second UE, a sidelink (SL) message, wherein the base station decodes the SL message transmitted from the second UE to the first UE, the SL message transmitted by the second UE simultaneously with the UL message using a beamforming technique.
