Abstract
Example aspects include an apparatus and method of wireless communication by a reduced capability user equipment (RedCap UE) in a network, comprising sending, to a non-RedCap UE, an indication indicating the RedCap UE as a RedCap UE device. The aspects further include performing sidelink communications with the non-RedCap UE in accordance with capabilities of the RedCap UE.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a second UE via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), a first data communication;
- sending, to the second UE, an indication indicating a UE type for sidelink communication,
- wherein sending the indication comprises sending, in response to a failure to decode the first data communication, a request to a network device to forward one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE to the second UE, the request comprising a first identification of the first UE and a second identification of the second UE;
- performing sidelink communications with the second UE in accordance with the indicated UE type;
- and
- receiving, from the second UE, a second data communication configured according to the one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to:
- receive, from a second UE via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), a first data communication;
- send, to the second UE, an indication indicating a UE type for sidelink communication,
- wherein to send the indication comprises to send, in response to a failure to decode the first data communication, a request to a network device to forward one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE to the second UE, the request comprising a first identification of the first UE and a second identification of the second UE;
- perform sidelink communications with the second UE in accordance with the indicated UE type;
- and
- receive, from the second UE, a second data communication configured according to the one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for receiving, from a second UE via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), a first data communication;
- means for sending, to the second UE, an indication indicating a UE type for sidelink communication,
- wherein the means for sending the indication comprises means for sending, in response to a failure to decode the first data communication, a request to a network device to forward one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE to the second UE, the request comprising a first identification of the first UE and a second identification of the second UE;
- means for performing sidelink communications with the second UE in accordance with the indicated UE type;
- and
- means for receiving, from the second UE, a second data communication configured according to the one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising stored instructions for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), executable by a processor to:
- receive, from a second UE via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), a first data communication;
- send, to the second UE, an indication indicating a UE type for sidelink communication,
- wherein to send the indication comprises to send, in response to a failure to decode the first data communication, a request to a network device to forward one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE to the second UE, the request comprising a first identification of the first UE and a second identification of the second UE;
- perform sidelink communications with the second UE in accordance with the indicated UE type;
- and
- receive, from the second UE, a second data communication configured according to the one or more physical layer capabilities of the first UE.
