Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may receive an indication of a sidelink communication queued for communication between a source user equipment (UE) and a target UE. The BS may transmit, via another link, a sidelink resource grant to identify one or more resources for the sidelink communication for the source UE and the target UE on a sidelink. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a sidelink communication queued for communication between a source user equipment (UE) and a target UE;
- and
- transmitting, by the network entity, a sidelink resource grant directly to the source UE and the target UE based on the source UE and the target UE being associated with a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the sidelink resource grant identifies one or more resources for the sidelink communication for the source UE and the target UE on a sidelink.
A method of wireless communication performed by a target user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a network entity, a sidelink resource grant that is transmitted directly to the target UE and a source UE based on the source UE and the target UE being associated with a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the sidelink resource grant identifies one or more resources for sidelink reception from the source UE;
- activating monitoring of a sidelink based at least in part on receiving the sidelink resource grant;
- and
- monitoring the one or more resources on the sidelink to receive a sidelink communication from the source UE based at least in part on activating the monitoring of the sidelink.
A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive an indication of a sidelink communication queued for communication between a source user equipment (UE) and a target UE;
- and
- transmit, a sidelink resource grant directly to the source UE and the target UE based on the source UE and the target UE being associated with a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the sidelink resource grant identifies one or more resources for the sidelink communication for the source UE and the target UE on a sidelink.
A target user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive, from a network entity, a sidelink resource grant that is transmitted directly to the target UE and a source UE based on the source UE and the target UE being associated with a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the sidelink resource grant identifies one or more resources for sidelink reception from the source UE;
- activate monitoring of a sidelink based at least in part on receiving the sidelink resource grant;
- and
- monitor the one or more resources on the sidelink to receive a sidelink communication from the source UE based at least in part on activating the monitoring of the sidelink.
