Abstract
According to a first embodiment, a method may include transmitting, by a first user equipment, at least one sidelink failure indication using at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration. The method may further include receiving, by the first user equipment, at least one sidelink failure response. The method may further include determining, by the first user equipment, at least one source-specific sidelink recovery mode associated with the at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration.
Claims21
1-37. (canceled)
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- when the apparatus is comprised in a first user equipment:
- transmit at least one sidelink failure indication using at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration;
- receive at least one sidelink failure response;
- and
- determine at least one source-specific sidelink recovery mode associated with the at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration;
- or
- when the apparatus is comprised in a second user equipment:
- receive at least one sidelink failure indication;
- identify at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration associated with the received at least one sidelink failure indication;
- transmit at least one sidelink failure response using the identified at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration;
- and
- determine at least one source-specific sidelink recovery mode associated with the at least one sidelink failure recovery-specific configuration.
