Abstract
Systems and methods for performing carrier aggregation in wireless communications are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first node is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining configuration information related to data transmission between the first node and at least one second node, wherein the configuration information comprises one or more rules related to carrier aggregation for the data transmission, wherein the one or more rules comprise information related to a reliability level associated with the data transmission; and transmitting the data to the at least one second node on a plurality of carriers based on the configuration information.
Claims20
A method performed by a first user equipment device (UE), the method comprising:
- obtaining configuration information related to a sidelink data transmission between the first UE and at least one second UE, wherein the configuration information comprises information related to a first predetermined reliability requirement associated with data of the data transmission, wherein the first predetermined reliability requirement indicates a minimum percentage of successful transmissions among a total number of transmission attempts;
- determining whether to duplicate the data based on the first predetermined reliability requirement;
- and
- transmitting the data and duplicates thereof to the at least one second UE on a plurality of carriers based on the configuration information related to the sidelink data transmission.
A method performed by a network node, the method comprising:
- transmitting configuration information to a first user equipment (UE), wherein the configuration information is related to a sidelink data transmission on a plurality of carriers between the first UE and at least one second UE and comprises information related to a first predetermined reliability requirement associated with the data transmission, wherein the first predetermined reliability requirement indicates a minimum percentage of successful transmissions among a total number of transmission attempts.
A first user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a memory and a wireless interface, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- obtain configuration information related to a sidelink data transmission between the first UE and at least one second UE, wherein the configuration information comprises information related to a first predetermined reliability requirement associated with the data transmission, wherein the first predetermined reliability requirement indicates a minimum percentage of successful transmissions among a total number of transmission attempts;
- determine whether to duplicate the data based on the first predetermined reliability requirement;
- and
- transmit the data and duplicates thereof to the at least one second UE on a plurality of carriers based on the configuration information related to the sidelink data transmission.
A network node comprising a processor, a memory and a wireless interface, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- transmit configuration information to a first user equipment (UE), wherein the configuration information is related to a sidelink data transmission on a plurality of carriers between the first UE and at least one second UE and comprises information related to a first predetermined reliability requirement associated with the data transmission, wherein the first predetermined reliability requirement indicates a minimum percentage of successful transmissions among a total number of transmission attempts;
- and
- receive a configuration indication from the first UE, wherein the configuration indication comprises information related to a second reliability requirement of the data to be transmitted.
