Abstract
During a sidelink process, a configured grant can be utilized for data reception. For example, one user device (e.g., gnodeB or local manager user equipment) can send a signal to a receiving UE indicating that the user device should monitor a specific channel for a specific time. The user device can then send another signal to a transmitting user equipment indicating that it needs to transmit on a specific sub channel at the specific time or window of time. Thus, the user device can facilitate scheduling of data transmissions/receptions such that radio resources are preserved.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless network device comprising a processor from a first mobile device, indication data representative of an indication that the first mobile device is to communicate with a second mobile device;
- in response to the receiving the indication data, transmitting, by the wireless network device to the second mobile device, prompt data representative of a prompt to monitor for a signal from the first mobile device;
- and
- in response to the transmitting the prompt data, transmitting, by the wireless network device to the first mobile device, parameter data representative of a parameter to facilitate a communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a first mobile device, indication data representative of an indication that the first mobile device has requested to make a communication with a second mobile device;
- in response to the receiving the indication data, facilitating configuring a receiving grant for the second mobile device;
- in response to the configuring, transmitting to the second mobile device, the receiving grant to facilitate the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- and
- based on the receiving grant, transmitting to the first mobile device, parameter data, representative of a parameter, to facilitate the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.
A machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a first mobile device, indication data representative of an indication that the first mobile device is going to initiate a communication with a second mobile device;
- in response to the receiving the indication data, configuring a receiving grant for the second mobile device;
- in response to the configuring, transmitting, to the second mobile device, the receiving grant to facilitate the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- and
- based on the receiving grant, transmitting, to the first mobile device, parameter data, representative of a parameter, to facilitate the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.
