Abstract
A method and apparatus for carrier aggregation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising: receiving a downlink signal containing first information from a second wireless communication node, and based on at least a portion of the first information, determining first resource information to perform sidelink communication between the first wireless communication node and at least one third wireless communication node.
Claims20
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising:
- receiving a downlink signal containing first information from a second wireless communication node, and
- based on at least a portion of the first information, determining first resource information to perform sidelink communication between the first wireless communication node and at least one third wireless communication node.
A method performed by a second wireless communication node, comprising:
- transmitting a downlink signal containing information to a first wireless communication node,
- wherein the information is used by the first wireless communication node to determine resource information to perform sidelink communication between the first wireless communication node and at least one third wireless communication node.
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, comprising:
- transmitting an uplink signal to a second wireless communication node, wherein the uplink signal comprises assistance information for the second wireless communication node to determine resource information for the first wireless communication node to perform sidelink communication with at least one third wireless communication node;
- receiving a downlink signal comprising the resource information from the second wireless communication node;
- and
- performing the sidelink communication with at least one third wireless communication node using the resource information.
A method performed by a second wireless communication node, comprising:
- receiving an uplink signal from a first wireless communication node, wherein the uplink signal comprises assistance information;
- and
- determining resource information for the first wireless communication node to perform sidelink communication with at least one third wireless communication node.
