Abstract
A method in a wireless device is disclosed. The method comprises determining one or more time resources in a particular carrier from one or more pools of time resources for a sidelink operation by the wireless device. The method comprises sending a gap request message to a network node, the gap request message indicating one or more gaps requested by the wireless device, the one or more gaps comprising the determined one or more time resources for the sidelink operation.
Claims6
A method in a wireless device, comprising:
- determining one or more time resources in a particular carrier from one or more pools of time resources for a sidelink transmission by the wireless device;
- determining whether an uplink grant for scheduling an uplink transmission is received from a network node during a predefined period, the predefined period comprising a period of time preceding the sidelink transmission;
- and
- performing at least one of:
- upon determining that the uplink grant was received during the predefined period, aborting the sidelink transmission;
- and
- upon determining that the uplink grant was not received during the predefined period, transmitting the sidelink transmission,
- wherein aborting the sidelink transmission comprises at least one of:
- postponing the sidelink transmission to a later occasion;
- and
- selecting one or more different time resources from the one or more pools of time resources that would not collide with the uplink transmission scheduled by the network node.
A wireless device, comprising:
- one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:
- determine one or more time resources in a particular carrier from one or more pools of time resources for a sidelink transmission by the wireless device;
- determine whether an uplink grant for scheduling an uplink transmission is received from a network node during a predefined period, the predefined period comprising a period of time preceding the sidelink transmission;
- and
- perform at least one of:
- upon determining that the uplink grant was received during the predefined period, abort the sidelink transmission;
- and
- upon determining that the uplink grant was not received during the predefined period, transmit the sidelink transmission,
- wherein the one or more processors configured to abort the sidelink transmission comprise one or more processors configured to perform at least one of:
- postpone the sidelink transmission to a later occasion;
- and
- select one or more different time resources from the one or more pools of time resources that would not collide with the uplink transmission scheduled by the network node.
