Abstract
A first wireless device receives, from a base station, configuration parameters for a resource allocation mode 1 of a sidelink bearer between the first wireless device and a second wireless device. The first wireless device receives, from the base station, at least one parameter indicating the sidelink bearer to transition from the resource allocation mode 1 to a resource allocation mode 2. The first wireless device transmits, to the second wireless device, transport blocks via the sidelink bearer based on the resource allocation mode 2.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a first wireless device to a base station, a first configuration request for establishment of a sidelink bearer;
- receiving, by the first wireless device from the base station and based on the first configuration request, configuration parameters for a resource allocation mode 1 of a plurality of sidelink bearers between the first wireless device and a second wireless device, wherein the plurality of sidelink bearers comprise a first sidelink bearer and a second sidelink bearer;
- transmitting, by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, first transport blocks via the plurality of sidelink bearers based on the resource allocation mode 1;
- receiving, by the first wireless device from the base station and without transmitting a second configuration request for establishing or modifying the plurality of sidelink bearers, at least one parameter indicating to transition the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to a resource allocation mode 2;
- in response to the at least one parameter:
- transitioning, by the first wireless device and without releasing the first sidelink bearer, the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- not transitioning, by the first wireless device, the second sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- transmitting, by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, second transport blocks via the first sidelink bearer based on the resource allocation mode 2.
A first wireless device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:
- transmit, to a base station, a first configuration request for establishment of a sidelink bearer;
- receive, from the base station and based on the first configuration request, configuration parameters for a resource allocation mode 1 of a plurality of sidelink bearers between the first wireless device and a second wireless device, wherein the plurality of sidelink bearers comprise a first sidelink bearer and a second sidelink bearer;
- transmit, to the second wireless device, first transport blocks via the plurality of sidelink bearers based on the resource allocation mode 1;
- receive, from the base station and without transmitting a second configuration request for establishing or modifying the plurality of sidelink bearers, at least one parameter indicating to transition the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to a resource allocation mode 2;
- in response to the at least one parameter;
- transition, without releasing the first sidelink bearer, the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- not transition the second sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- transmit, to the second wireless device, second transport blocks via the first sidelink bearer based on the resource allocation mode 2.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first wireless device, cause the first wireless device to:
- transmit, to a base station, a first configuration request for establishment of a sidelink bearer;
- receive, from the base station and based on the first configuration request, configuration parameters for a resource allocation mode 1 of a plurality of sidelink bearers between the first wireless device and a second wireless device, wherein the plurality of sidelink bearers comprise a first sidelink bearer and a second sidelink bearer;
- transmit, to the second wireless device, first transport blocks via the plurality of sidelink bearers based on the resource allocation mode 1;
- receive, from the base station and without transmitting a second configuration request for establishing or modifying the plurality of sidelink bearers, at least one parameter indicating to transition the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to a resource allocation mode 2:
- in response to the at least one parameter:
- transition, without releasing the first sidelink bearer, the first sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- not transition the second sidelink bearer from the resource allocation mode 1 to the resource allocation mode 2;
- and
- transmit, to the second wireless device, second transport blocks via the first sidelink bearer based on the resource allocation mode 2.
