Abstract
Aspects relate to communicating an indication of whether a user equipment (UE) will use an allocated shared resource. A first UE may output an indication of whether it will use a resource (e.g., a configured grant occasion) of a set of resources that are allocated for the first UE and at least one other UE. A first UE may select a communication mode for transmission via a resource based on an obtained indication of whether a second UE will use the resource. A network entity may output a groupcast message that indicates whether a particular UE will use a resource of a set of resources that are allocated for a plurality of UEs. A first UE may select a communication mode for transmission via a resource based on a groupcast message obtained from a network entity.
Claims27
A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more transceivers;
- one or more memories configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the first UE to:
- receive, via the one or more transceivers, a first message indicating an allocation of at least one shared resource for at least one transmission by any of a plurality of user equipments (UEs);
- and
- transmit, via the one or more transceivers and to at least one UE of the plurality of UEs, a second message indicating that the first UE will not use a first resource of the at least one shared resource.
A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more transceivers;
- one or more memories configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the first UE to:
- receive, via the one or more transceivers and from a network entity, a first message indicating an allocation of at least one shared resource for at least one transmission by any of a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the plurality of UEs including a second UE;
- receive, via the one or more transceivers and from the second UE, a second message indicating whether the second UE will use a first resource of the at least one shared resource;
- and
- transmit a third message, via the one or more transceivers and the first resource, according to a first communication mode selected based on the second message.

- receive, via the one or more transceivers and from the network entity, a groupcast message indicating whether the second UE will use a first resource of the at least one shared resource;
- and
- transmit a second message, via the one or more transceivers and the first resource, according to a first communication mode selected based on the groupcast message.
A network entity, comprising:
- one or more transceivers;
- one or more memories configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the network entity to:
- transmit, via the one or more transceivers and to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), a first message indicating an allocation of at least one shared resource for at least one transmission by any of the plurality of UEs, the plurality of UEs including a first user equipment (UE);
- and
- transmit, via the one or more transceivers and to two or more of the plurality of UEs, a groupcast message indicating that the first UE will not use a first resource of the at least one shared resource.
