US 12,757,223 B2 · Managing sidelink information, configuration, and communication

Abstract

A user equipment (UE), for managing information related to sidelink communications, when the UE has a radio connection with a radio access network (RAN), (i) transmits (1802), to the RAN, sidelink information for generating, at the RAN, a sidelink configuration for the UE, (ii) determines (1804), subsequently to the transmitting, that the radio connection with the RAN is to be modified, and (iii) processes (1806) the sidelink information in response to the determination. A RAN, for managing information related to sidelink communications, when a UE has a radio connection with the RAN, (i) receives (1902), from the UE, sidelink information, (ii) generates (1904), using the sidelink information, a sidelink configuration for the UE, (iii) determines (1906) that the radio connection with the UE is to be modified, and processes (1908) the sidelink information in response to the determination.

Dependent claims

A method in a user equipment (UE) for managing information related to sidelink communications, when the UE has a radio connection with a radio access network (RAN), the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE and from the RAN, a sidelink configuration;
detecting, by the UE, a failure on the radio connection with the RAN;
transmitting, by the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment request to the RAN in response to the detecting of the failure;
and
releasing, by the UE, the sidelink configuration in conjunction with the transmitting of the RRC reestablishment request.
