Abstract
The performance of user equipment (UE) using sidelink radio communications may be improved by providing the UE with sidelink configuration information pertaining to modes, functions, channels, signals, and/or resources for use in sidelink communications. For example, a UE may receive information indicating a sidelink mode, e.g., a transmit-only, receive-only, or a transmit and receive mode. Sidelink configuration may include indications of signals and/or channels for use in sidelink transmit and/or receive communications, etc.
Claims20
A first apparatus, comprising a processor, communication circuitry, a memory, and computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, cause the first apparatus to:
- receive, from a second apparatus, an indication of a sidelink configuration comprising a plurality of sensing types;
- receive, from the second apparatus, an indication of an activation of at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types;
- receive control information indicating a plurality of sensing schemes;
- determine, based on the at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types, at least one sensing scheme of the plurality of sensing schemes;
- and
- perform, based on the at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types and the at least one sensing scheme of the plurality of sensing schemes, a sidelink sensing operation.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from an apparatus, an indication of a sidelink communication configuration comprising a plurality of sensing types;
- receiving, from the apparatus, an indication of an activation of at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types;
- receiving control information indicating a plurality of sensing schemes;
- determining, based on the at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types, at least one sensing scheme of the plurality of sensing schemes;
- and
- performing, based on the at least one sensing type of the plurality of sensing types and the at least one sensing scheme of the plurality of sensing schemes, a sidelink sensing operation.
