Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for wireless communication. In some embodiments, a first mobile device can receive a first indication of a first transmit activity pattern associated with a second mobile device that transmits data to the first mobile device via a radio interface without passing through a base station. The first mobile device can compute a first receive activity pattern that is inclusive of at least the first transmit activity pattern. The first mobile device monitors the radio interface according to the first receive activity pattern.
Claims18
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a first mobile device, a first indication of a first transmit activity pattern associated with a second mobile device that transmits data to the first mobile device via a radio interface without passing through a base station, the first indication indicating a first scheduled data transmit cycle of the first transmit activity pattern of the second mobile device;
- receiving, by the first mobile device, a second indication of a second transmit activity pattern associated with a third mobile device that transmits data to the first mobile device directly via the radio interface, the second indication indicating a second scheduled data transmit cycle of the second transmit activity pattern of the third mobile device:
- computing, by the first mobile device, a first receive activity pattern including a first receive active portion in time domain for receiving the data transmitted from the second mobile device and the third mobile device, the first receive active portion of the first receive activity pattern being inclusive of at least a first transmit active portion of the first scheduled data transmit cycle of the first transmit activity pattern and a second transmit active portion of the second scheduled data transmit cycle of the second transmit activity pattern;
- and
- monitoring, by the first mobile device, the radio interface according to the first receive activity pattern.
An apparatus, comprising:
- receiving circuitry configured to receive and process radio signals;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a first indication of a first transmit activity pattern associated with a second apparatus that transmits data to the apparatus via a radio interface without passing through a base station, the first indication indicating a first scheduled data transmit cycle of the first transmit activity pattern of the second apparatus;
- receive a second indication of a second transmit activity pattern associated with a third apparatus that transmits data to the apparatus directly via the radio interface, the second indication indicating a second scheduled data transmit cycle of the second transmit activity pattern of the third apparatus;
- compute a first receive activity pattern including a first receive active portion in time domain for receiving the data transmitted from the second apparatus and the third apparatus, the first receive active portion of the first receive activity pattern being inclusive of at least a first transmit active portion of the first scheduled data transmit cycle of the first transmit activity pattern and a second transmit active portion of the second scheduled data transmit cycle of the second transmit activity pattern;
- and
- control the receiving circuitry to monitor the radio interface according to the first receive activity pattern.
