Abstract
A method and apparatus for carrier aggregation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising: receiving a downlink signal containing first information from a second wireless communication node, and based on at least a portion of the first information, determining first resource information to perform sidelink communication between the first wireless communication node and at least one third wireless communication node.
Claims22
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising:
- receiving a first uplink signal from a second wireless communication node;
- receiving a second uplink signal from a third wireless communication node, wherein the first and second uplink signals comprise assistance information for a sidelink (SL) communication between the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node, wherein the assistance information comprises capabilities of the second or the third wireless communication node for carrier aggregation (CA);
- determining resource information for the SL communication based on the assistance information;
- and
- transmitting, to the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node, the resource information for use in the SL communication between the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node.
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising:
- transmitting an uplink signal to a second wireless communication node, wherein the uplink signal comprises assistance information for a sidelink (SL) communication between the first wireless communication node and a third wireless communication node, wherein the assistance information comprises capabilities of the first or the third wireless communication node for carrier aggregation (CA);
- receiving, from the second wireless communication node, resource information determined based on the assistance information;
- and
- performing the SL communication with the third wireless communication node based on the resource information.
A first wireless communication node, comprising:
- a receiver configured to
- receive a first uplink signal from a second wireless communication node, and
- receive a second uplink signal from a third wireless communication node, wherein the first and second uplink signals comprise assistance information for a sidelink (SL) communication between the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node, wherein the assistance information comprises capabilities of the second or the third wireless communication node for carrier aggregation (CA);
- at least one processor configured to determine resource information for the SL communication based on the assistance information;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node, the resource information for use in the SL communication between the second wireless communication node and the third wireless communication node.
A first wireless communication node, comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit an uplink signal to a second wireless communication node, wherein the uplink signal comprises assistance information for a sidelink (SL) communication between the first wireless communication node and a third wireless communication node, wherein the assistance information comprises capabilities of the first or the third wireless communication node for carrier aggregation (CA);
- a receiver configured to receive, from the second wireless communication node, resource information determined based on the assistance information;
- and
- at least one processor configured to perform the SL communication with the third wireless communication node based on the resource information.
