Abstract
The devices, systems, and methods discussed herein include a first user equipment (UE) device receiving, from a base station, discovery resource pool configuration information indicating that a first discovery resource pool is associated with a first type of discovery transmission and that a second discovery resource pool is associated with a second type of discovery transmission. The first UE device selects the first discovery resource pool for communication via the first type of discovery transmission and selects the second discovery resource pool for communication via the second type of discovery transmission.
Claims15
A first user equipment (UE) device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, a System Information Block (SIB) message including resource pool configuration information indicating a separate discovery resource pool and a shared discovery resource pool, the separate discovery resource pool being dedicated for sidelink discovery transmission, the shared discovery resource pool being shared for both sidelink discovery transmission and sidelink communication transmission;
- and
- a controller configured to
- monitor the separate discovery resource pool,
- select the separate discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is available, and
- select the shared discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is not available.
A method of discovery resource selection performed by a user equipment (UE) device, the method of discovery resource selection comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a System Information Block (SIB) message including resource pool configuration information indicating a separate discovery resource pool and a shared discovery resource pool, the separate discovery resource pool being dedicated for sidelink discovery transmission, the shared discovery resource pool being shared for both sidelink discovery transmission and sidelink communication transmission;
- monitoring the separate discovery resource pool;
- selecting the separate discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is available;
- and
- selecting the shared discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission, when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is not available.
An apparatus configured to cause a user equipment (UE) device to perform a method of discovery resource selection, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions, and when executing the computer-readable instructions, the processor is configured to cause the UE device to perform the method of sidelink resource selection, the method of discovery resource selection including:
- receiving, from a base station, a System Information Block (SIB) message including resource pool configuration information indicating a separate discovery resource pool and a shared discovery resource pool, the separate discovery resource pool being dedicated for sidelink discovery transmission, the shared discovery resource pool being shared for both sidelink discovery transmission and sidelink communication transmission;
- monitoring the separate discovery resource pool;
- selecting the separate discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is available;
- and
- selecting the shared discovery resource pool for the sidelink discovery transmission, when a result of monitoring the separate discovery resource pool is not available.
