Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems to support QoS for unicast and groupcast casting types using sidelink radio bearers over the NR PC5 interface. Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems to configure and activate sidelink radio bearers using AS-level signaling between the Tx UE and Rx UEs over the NR PC5 interface. Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems to perform resource allocation and resource reservation in a platoon for sidelink transmissions.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a user-equipment (UE), an updated configuration for a sidelink radio bearer (SL-RB) of a plurality of SL-RBs of the UE sent by an authorized UE over a sidelink between the UE and the authorized UE;
- configuring, by the UE, the SL-RB based on the updated configuration;
- receiving, by the UE, an operation status for the SL-RB;
- responsive to determining that the operation status for the SL-RB indicates the SL-RB is to be activated, activating, by the UE, the SL-RB;
- and
- communicating, by the UE with the authorized UE over the sidelink, using the configured SL-RB when the SL-RB is activated.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the UE to:
- receive an updated configuration for a sidelink radio bearer (SL-RB) of a plurality of SL-RBs of the UE transmitted by an authorized UE over a sidelink between the UE and the authorized UE;
- configure the SL-RB based on the updated configuration;
- receive an operation status for the SL-RB;
- responsive to determining that the operation status for the SL-RB indicates the SL-RB is to be activated, activate the SL-RB;
- and
- communicate with the authorized UE over the sidelink, data using the configured SL-RB when the SL-RB is activated.
A non-transitory memory storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive an updated configuration for a sidelink radio bearer (SL-RB) of a plurality of SL-RBs of an apparatus including the one or more processors transmitted by an authorized UE over a sidelink between the apparatus and the authorized UE;
- configure the SL-RB based on the updated configuration;
- receive an operation status for the SL-RB;
- responsive to determining that the operation status for the SL-RB indicates the SL-RB is to be activated, activate the SL-RB;
- and
- communicate with the authorized UE over the sidelink, data using the configured SL-RB when the SL-RP is activated.
