Abstract
A user equipment (UE) tunes a transceiver of the UE to a first frequency associated with a first channel, transmits a first short packet to a second UE on the first channel and determines whether a first indication was received from the second UE in response to the first short packet. The first indication indicates that the first channel satisfies one or more predetermined criteria. The UE transmits then the primary data to the second UE on the first channel in response to the first indication being received from the second UE.
Claims20
A processor of a first user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
- tuning a transceiver of the first UE to a first frequency associated with a first channel;
- transmitting a first short packet to a second UE on the first channel, wherein the first short packet has a duration of less than one slot;
- determining whether to transmit primary data over the first channel based on whether a first indication was received from the second UE in response to the first short packet, wherein the first indication indicates that the first channel satisfies one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- transmitting the primary data to the second UE on the first channel in response to the first indication being received from the second UE.
A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a network;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
- tuning the transceiver of the first UE to a first frequency associated with a first channel;
- transmitting a first short packet to a second UE on the first channel, wherein the first short packet has a duration of less than one slot;
- determining whether to transmit primary data over the first channel based on whether a first indication was received from the second UE in response to the first short packet, wherein the first indication indicates that the first channel satisfies one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- transmitting the primary data to the second UE on the first channel responsive to the first indication being received from the second UE.
